Trey Gowdy Goes Off on IRS Commish for Claiming No Criminal Actions at IRS...
The Blaze ^

Posted on 06/23/2014 8:35:56 PM PDT by TigerClaws

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) late Monday criticized IRS Commissioner John Koskinen for claiming there’s no evidence of criminal misconduct at the IRS over the targeting scandal, even though he hasn’t bothered to examine the criminal code.

“You have already said multiple times today that there was no evidence that you found of any criminal wrongdoing,” Gowdy said. “I want you to tell me what criminal statutes you’ve evaluated.”

Mr. Gowdy put the wood to the IRS stooge.
And Mr. Trey Gowdy laid the groundwork for the ‘spoliation of evidence’ as a charge and as legitimate basis for drawing a conclusion of guilt based upon spoliation.
Everyone now sees that evidence was clearly destroyed or tampered with.
The legs on the Obama impeachment are growing.
Then again, if the Supreme Court rules for Mr. Obama in the NLRB case, Mr. Obama could simply put Congress into recess for several years until all this blows over.

Inherent contempt. They refuse to fully utilize it. That is all on the GOP.

“It bothers me how Koskinen is not at all worried. Kind of like watching Michael testify in The Godfather. Like he’s protected.”

Me too. I’m hoping the November elections ease some of our pain.

How many scandals and hearings have we been through in 6 years and nobody was ever held to account for anything. Why would it be any different this time?

Kabuki, thy name is GOP. Do something about it, guys. We know that there has been criminal activity here.

They are questioning these witnesses under oath so if evidence turns up (or they already have it and are saving it for the right moment), they can hang a charge of perjury over the witness's heads and see if that makes them more cooperative. Little by little they exploit the cracks in the administrations stonewall until the bring it all down.

After watching Trey Gowdy “question” John Koskinen, I thought of two John Wayne’s movie lines. “Sink Spurs” and “fill your hands, you SOB”.
Gowdy gets my ten votes for what ever post he wants!
Trey is pulling a Roddy Piper;
“About I’m here to kick ass and chew bubblegum and I’m all out of bubblegum”.

This is the GOP. they have a history of their supporters believing that such is the case only to then cave, choke and otherwise return the hammer of great and mighty justice to Home depot for a ‘partial’ refund rather than use it.

Since no investigation thusfar has done anything other than protect democrats from jail and act as a pressure relief valve for angry conservatives I have little faith in some cunning plan afoot.

Gowdy is like a good movie, worth watching the vid several times to pick up little parts that didn't register the first time around.
Watched it three times so far.

The guy is awesome and has the mental ability to adapt quickly on the fly, with no hesitation, when the IRS mope screwed up.

The IRS mope didn't have a chance.

They had her emails on tape but it was too complicated to retrieve them, but they didn’t try to either (that K-man knows of)

It bothers me how Koskinen is not at all worried.

I hope you’re onto something..I was wondering where he was going with the line of questioning but makes sense if they’re building a case based on spoliation of evidence. He clearly had Gollum spinning, go Gowdy!

Norm, settle your little conscience. They’ll turn up another Ross Perot for you to vote for so you don’t have to vote for Gowdy or Cruz, or whomever the hapless republican party puts up. Cuz a vote from the conscience of all you Lenharts means you won’t have to feel icky as they roll Hillary up to the podium to burn her hand on the bible in front of the Chief Justice.

And you’ll be able to self-righteously know in your pea-pickin’ heart that it was those OTHER people that elected Dear Hillary. Not lil’ brave Norm and his other enablers, no sir, they voted their conscience!

So settle down. You won’t have to vote for Obama ever again, like you (and the rest of you conscientious pharisees) did the last two elections
