A recently released Congressional report makes the case that President Obama was indeed behind the IRS abuse of conservative and Tea Party groups.
Evidence has been found linking the IRS attacks to senior Democrat members of Congress, and shows that the IRS broke the law by providing confidential tax information to Democrats and to the Department of Justice. This information was then used against conservative individuals and groups to silence their dissent.
Meanwhile, only a year after they were requested, the IRS finally agreed to release all of Lois Lerner’s emails, which should provide further evidence linking the IRS attack to Washington and the White House. Conveniently however, the IRS just now says that two years worth of Lerner’s emails have mysteriously vanished in a hard drive crash that occurred in 2011.
Most people aren’t buying the IRS excuse though, especially conservative columnist and Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer, who thinks the IRS is either stalling or deliberately destroyed evidence. He reacted to the story, and the statement from the White House defending the IRS’ lame excuse, saying what happened constitutes a “high crime” worthy of impeachment.
(H/T Western Journalism)
First, the White House statement that was delivered by new spokesperson Josh Earnest:
It’s entirely reasonable because it’s the truth and it’s fact, and speculation otherwise I think is indicative of the kind of conspiracies that are propagated around this story. There is ample evidence to indicate that a good faith effort has been made by the IRS to cooperate with Congressional oversight, and the far-fetched skepticism expressed by some Republican members of Congress I think is not at all surprising and not particularly believable.

not just Obama, every unelected staffer too.
Biden ? Boehner ? You stay in office by making sure the replacements are also unacceptable !
OK Charles , but please remove Reid and Holder first . This is probably the main reason Holder has stuck around so long
For sure ... the Communist Usurper has surrounded himself with a maladministration of malefactors.
They’ll never allow it
Watch what they would replace him (joe) with.
Funny, as comical as Biden is, he is most qualified of the bunch to be President.
That’s sad.
how about the SS ? Are they corrupt also?
No doubt, any impeachment attempt will fail ultimately in the Senate, which will not convict Obama if impeachment gets that far. But what other options are open to curb a tyrannical President who is openly flouting the law and circumventing the legislative process?
I remember this from the Clinton impeachment. “High crime” was any crime committed by somebody in a high place. In other words ANY crime by a person in a high place. Nothing higher than President. Misdemeanor is simply bad behavior, bad demeanor.
President was to be held to high standards. Of course.
FWIW....I’d prefer Biden to Boehner for two years. Why? As President, Boehner would destroy anything constitutional conservatives want. If Biden were president, DC ‘pubs would rally to conservative issues.
Clinton did not have Obamacare, IRS treachery, Bengazi negligence, Iraq disaster etc.
“how about the SS “
I meant the men that Obama brought with him into office. The functionaries that come with the White House, the staff, the Marines, the Secret Service, should be like they always were. But they, generally, have no evidentiary value as to high crimes and misdemeanors unless they witness them. I’d consider that unlikely.
witness and generate the video/recorded evidence
It is all about who has an R or D after their name in Congress. The Democrats will not vote for impeachment nor will a number of Reps.
we need a way to do this by un-election.
I think the rule of law...and doing what’s right..Trump who’s next in line.
Like Hill, is going to deep-six a fellow traveler.
Good God help us!!!
