But Obama promised “not even a smidgen of corruption” at the IRS in his 2014 pre-Superbowl rant.
The IRS was going to stonewall the TEA Party applications regardless of who was in the White House. To an IRS agent, “TEA” = “RIF.” It was an existential threat to far too many comfortable powerful bureaucrats. We shouldn’t expect them to go quietly without a fight.
It’s proof that the federal permanent bureaucracy has grown far too large and powerful; it no longer recognizes any restraint on its power. Not from Congress, which it openly defies at every turn, not from the elected Executive, which it routinely ignores. Not from any Court it disagrees with.
And certainly not from the American people, over whom it rules.
There can be no doubt that he kept that promise.There wasn't a smidgen....there was a *deluge* of corruption.
Obama is a delusional but fervent ideologue who is so convinced that his ridiculous and indefensible world view is right such that he can rationalize any personal behavior. He truly needs to travel the world and educate himself, because he is currently the opposite of worldly. Beyond that, he's also a bit of a racist. So much for the enlightenment of law school.
