House GOP investigators argue IRS targeting influenced by Obama June 16, 2014
House Republicans seeking a direct link between President Obama and the IRS targeting of conservative groups -- a connection Democrats say is essential for a legitimate White House scandal -- have released a report detailing dozens of examples that they say prove the president and fellow Democrats pressured the agency to act.
The influence campaign unofficially started during Obama’s January 2010 State of the Union Address in which he “delivered a stunning rebuke” of the Supreme Court decision in favor of the group Citizens United, among the IRS’s first and biggest targets, according to the 77-page report released Monday by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
The decision in part allowed campaign donors to remain anonymous.
“The Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests,” Obama said in the address. “I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests, or worse by foreign entities. ... And I’d urge Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps to correct some of these problems.”
The report attempts to show that Obama combined his master oratory skills with the “indisputably powerful” presidential bully pulpit to sound a clarion call that was heard by news outlets shaping the national agenda and that led IRS official Lois Learner to start targeting Tea Party and other conservative groups that applied for tax-exempt status.

And I would bet the missing emails would prove that.
What does the NSA know, and What does their Meta Data Reveal?
A Freedom of Information request by Judicial Watch is all that is needed.
The IRS FIXED AN ELECTION.
They suppressed the votes of people they didn’t like.
We’ve known this for years.
And to date, NO ONE has been punished!
Impeach now or your role in history will be as the worst cowards in history.
IMPEACH NOW!
Keep amassing evidence. Let it build. Obama is slowly becoming more unpopular as the people are discovering what's going on.
Reid will never convict. Wait till you have a GOP senate. If you're going to do it, do it right.
And Speaker Boehner has not even appointed a Special Prosecutor.
all well and good but this puss waaa congress will not impeach a negro regardless of what the a hole does or has done.
Forget about conviction. That will never occur. But the HR must start drafting Articles of Impeachment and put the onus on Senate Democrats.
now why would they ‘impeach’? mooch and hillary have their privates in a lock box. They would have to act like representatives of the people to ‘impeach’. mooch and hillary would claim they are evil with the full support of the lame-stream. Heck, would freeze over and bill clintoon would stop chasing inters and mooch would be a female and hillary would stop liking girls. Ain’t gonna happen.
And here you are again making excuses urging people to wait and see.
Do they pay you well?
Now is not the time. The Senate will not convict, and then you would have shot your wad. We need to concentrate on flipping the Senate. That way, we can impeach everyone that has broken the law.
They are not cowards. They are selfish s.o.b.'s who will do *anything* to keep their jobs. They will fight to the death to keep the power, sex and money that come with their jobs.
Then you better not elect lesser evils because they have proven they protect democrats. See Bhoner/Issa for details.
99.9 % ... yep!
The IRS fixed the last election.
The Department of Homeland Security is in the process of fixing the next election.

And the GOP sits silently while it all happens. not a peep.
Seen any burning up the talk shows? Me either.
Bet to differ.
I'm not saying it's probable...but it's possible.
The evidence for a real case is building day by day. But the key is the public. You won't see a President removed unless there is a solid majority in favor. Obama's unpopularity is growing. A few more scandals (and they will come) which expose who Obama really is will increase his unpopularity even more.
But if you prosecute the case too early the thing will fall apart.
Of course. let him destroy more of America. There is such flimsy evidence now. Barely enough to speak of...
Getting to look a lot like Nixon. Well we we see who form the RINO club will have a set of nuts to do anything. There has to be a change in the House leadership to get this done.
