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.”

You must have missed it. There are 6 other high level officials involved in this at the IRS and elsewhere that had their computers crash and all emails were lost. Gosh! What are the odds?
you lesser evil fans ought to have figured out by now that you are wasting your time ‘shaming’ me/ I mean come on. Is it not obvious by now that I think less of your opinion than I do the liberals?
I mean I get that MENSA tests aren’t your Forte and all but cone on. I am trying to give you SOME credit for rational thought but you make it so hard...
Wait. I’ll be honest with you. That’s not really true at all. To me, you are liberals. Actual ones like on DU with which you share situational ethics. I think your actions attacking people for voting for conservatives show that. See, your babble about conservatives on a conservative website refusing to vote for liberal abortion loving, military gaying, gun grabbing conservative shredding libs somehow being bad just reinforces my belief with actual proof. Because only someone so thoroughly lacking in ethics as a liberal would think getting on a conservative website and slam conservatives for ...I dunno...being conservative perhaps?
Koskinen is so damned arrogant. All of the democrats KNOW they can get away with anything. I don’t know why they don’t stop the dog and pony shows and just admit they’re all powerful and the republicans are worthless.
Well, they have the press on their side, which really does count for something. As a teenager I was politically inclined (voted for Ronald Reagan in my very first vote—1976 primary election versus then President Ford), and watched the Watergate hearings and media round table talk...
So this morning I am looking through all the big driveby media sites linked on Drudge... They are burying this folks!
They had top stories as follows, ABC News: Hops Like a Frog, Walks Like a Gorilla: Meet Pig the Dog; Anna Paquin’s True Blood hookups; CBS News: World Cup TV Ratings off the chart, CNN: Downward Spiral: Inside the case against Aaron Hernandez, and NBC News: Rebekah Brooks Cleared in Murdoch Phone Hacking Trial.
These are the top stories this morning. You have to really dig to find the IRS story, and the when you do find it, there’s nothing about Gowdy’s comments at all.
I can’t help but think how this would be reported if it happened during a Republicans administration and by an IRS who ADMITTED (as they already did about this scandal) they targeted liberal groups, and the Republican president asserting that there was no scandal, that the democrats were making it up, and that his administration will cooperated with Congress 100%.
Without the press reporting on it, the masses of people out there just won’t know.
I think IF word gets out though, this could crush the democrats. That is why they have to work so hard to downplay and distract. The press is full on part of it.
You must have missed it. There are 6 other high level officials involved in this at the IRS and elsewhere that had their computers crash and all emails were lost. Gosh! What are the odds?
I did miss it.
The IRS allows scanned copies of receipts. This is how I now keep my records. I wonder if they would allow me the “my computer crashed” excuse?
They should bring in the tech person to confirm that the computer crashed.
Must agree with you both. With complete and total disgust, that is.
Some say this will all lead to impeachment. Yeah, fine, whatever. But in the meantime there are dozens of other criminals who need to be in jail!
For there to be a special prosecutor, Obama and the Senate have to agree to it. The best that the House can do is bring public attention to it.
Uhh...No!
The bottom line is every democrat voter, so that includes the media, thinks it was perfectly okay for the IRS to target conservatives.
Norm has a conscience and its a lot bigger than you hallucinate. But then, based on your #40, how would you know? You seem to be part of the ever diminishing tribe of GOP uber alles love slaves who don't care if the GOP nominates the Lionel Barrymore banker from It's a Wonderful Life for POTUS.
In 2012, for the first time since I started voting in 1968, I reached my limit and delightedly voted for our own Eternal Vigilance (Tom Hoefling of Iowa) rather than vote for a sickening POS like Mitt Romney, the worst constitution-trashing, abortion-loving, gun-grabbing, socialized medicine promoting, gay-everything promoting, a major part of the elitist scheme to destroy and subjugate the middle class and working class supporting, etc., etc., etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseam.
Chickens don't vote for Colonel Sanders and it is about time that most Republican voters get it through their stubborn heads that voting for a GOP nightmare who is maybe a smidgeon better than the full blown Marxist opponent of the Demonrat Party provides no worthwhile or effective relief from the ongoing destruction of our nation. The repetitive nomination of useless accommodationist trash and outright treasonweasels as to the GOP platforms and American principles does nothing whatsoever but dilute to insignificance the status of the GOP as the party of opposition to all things Demonratic.
We have settled into a perfectionist pattern where those conservatives who favor a combination of 1930s cheapskatism with the feckless foreign policy of Neville Chamberlain and don't really mind degeneracy as public policy have their candidate (who increasingly endorses his GOP-E colleagues (like McConnell), and those who may concentrate on a militant foreign policy have had THEIR candidate (who was once a POW during the Vietnam War) but is a safe vote for zillionaire bailouts, and now there is even talk of running the cancer Romney against the Arkansas Medusa to guarantee her election. We always manage to have about 75 competing designer conservative candidates to choose from while Wall Street and K Street settle on one useless elitist early on. When do actual Republicans, actual conservatives, normal Americans get to compete on an even playing field???
Unless and until taking corrupt Wall Street and K Street bundles of financing is the functional equivalent in its effect on campaigns of being filmed sexually molesting a two-year old, the GOP-E will nominate candidates who are faithful lapdogs of that elite who are far more worried about enslaving people of ordinary means and destroying American civilization both to benefit Muffie's trust fund.
Romney lost because the man has no soul. He is an enemy of ordinary folks. He is a BIG part of the problem and not at all part of the solution. Like his father and mother before him (both pro-abort leftists), he is no good.
Want the Arkansas Medusa as the next POTUS??? That's easy. Nominate or even TOLERATE the nomination of another absolute POS like Romney, McCain, Dole, Bush the Elder, Gerald Ford, Nixon, Barry (Planned Barrenhood) Goldwater, Eisenhower, Dewey, Landon, or Herbert Hoover. The result is automatic. An increasing part of the base stays home in disgust over bought and paid for nominees of the GOP-E. You can nominate them but you cannot ELECT them. Since 1928, the GOP has nominated only one sure and one arguable good candidate: Ronaldus Maximus for certain and maybe Dubya (but there was TARP).
Get something straight. Those of us who have had enough of the GOP elitist cult DO NOT OWE your despicable candidates our votes. our support or even our indifference. Not now, not ever. Not in my lifetime, not in God's lifetime.
Gowdy might make a great candidate but he is a Congressman and the last mere member of the House nominated by the GOP was James Garfield (1880), but he was Speaker not a special committee chairman. I would certainly vote for him based on what I know. Ted Cruz would absolutely get my vote. Sarah Palin, early and often. Mike Lee, Chris McDaniel and others as well. No Chatsworth Worthington XXXIIs. Want our votes? Get 'em the old-fashioned way by EARNING THEM by nominating candidates worth voting for. Vote for your candidate because he is a microscopic sliver better than Obozo or Medusa doesn't cut it and never will again.
Not casting our votes for the elitist trash as you demand was NOT voting FOR Obozo but rather voting for his agenda in GOP drag.
Sincerely yours,
A self-righteous, conscientious "pharisee."
P.S. Do you have a problem with "conscientious?"
