Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) accused the Obama administration of misleading Congress and hiding evidence in order to conceal the effort by the Internal Revenue Service to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status.

The Hill reported that McConnell slammed the White House in a statement Wednesday following the release of a bipartisan Senate Finance Committee report that revealed the extent to which the “delinquent” IRS mismanaged applications from Tea Party groups.

“The report makes clear that civic groups were harassed specifically because they identified as conservative,” McConnell declared. “It underlines the seething contempt partisan officials like Lois Lerner had for them. It also reveals that administration officials continually misled Congress and attempted to hide evidence that might have brought the truth to light sooner.”

Among the 142-page report’s key findings, it concluded that Lois Lerner, former head of the government agency’s Exempt Organizations Unit, “failed to adequately manage” members of her staff processing the applications in question for two years beginning in 2010.

Of all the unmitigated gall,brazen misrepresentation of the truth. Somebody better get their Administrations all lined up properly. That's the other virginal, most transparent Administration ever.

[Lexington Green]

Meanwhile, the Congressional castrati merely whine and whimper.

[CivilWarBrewing]

0dungo didn’t know about THIS either. /s

[gorush]

Hey Mitch, don’t whine, impeach!

[DungeonMaster]

Kitten fight!!!

[Obadiah]

Exactly my first question. Of course, the answer is NOTHING. McConnell is just posturing for Conservative. He thinks the conservative rubes still fall for his talk tough and then give-Obama-what-he-wants shtick.

[raybbr]

This guy is so clueless. He’s almost as idiotic as Biden.

[blackdog]

So arrest and indict. Sheesh! He must wear his granny’s panties.

[blackdog]

Is the the non-smidgeon of evidence of wrongdoing Odungo mentioned?

Well, Mitch, what do you intend on doing about it? Oh,yeah. Right. Nothing.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Nixon was drummed out of office for far less than the crimes committed by this administration.

[liberalh8ter]

They really operate Ina vacuum up there in DC land. Does Mitch think this proclamation is news to anyone outside his bubble? More importantly, does he think we believe this lends some credibility to him?
