I heard they were punished with “Oral counseling”....

I am not sure why Jocelyn Elders was involved

During the hearing on Friday, several letters from the IRS were shown. These letters contained questionnaires that asked such things as "how much money do you carry in your wallet," "what is the content of your prayers," etc.

Who is responsible for these letters? Who wrote these questionnaires? Who's signature is at the bottom of the letters? These are the people should be brought to testify - under oath.

The IRS is now adding "how much toilet paper do you use".....b/c of Ohaha's penchant for a "green" America.

Connecting the dots.....

The Cincinnati office is the hub of the scandal because most of the battle ground states in the 2012 election were under that office’s purview.

Cincinnati’s role didn’t just happen, it was chosen.

While conservative free speech was being stymied, liberal group applications were being fast-tracked. The Barack H. Obama Foundation, a ‘charity’ begun by Barack’s half brother, received approval within 32 days. The approval was signed by Lois Lerner.

No malice? The malice comes with the deliberate harm done to the Romney campaign, and by extension, the American people. Targeting by definition is intentional. And targeting by the IRS is a violation of equal protection laws, and the Hatch Act.

We may never be able to prove Obama himself was involved, but the conspiracy between the Obama campaign and the IRS, to illegally influence the outcome of a presidential election is what all this should head toward.

I’ve probably missed this but all these stories of how long ago the abuses were being looked in to, did anyone put a halt to them?

Maybe not, but it was odd that 0bama told Medvedev he would have "more flexibility" after his reelection. How was he so sure he would be reelected?

Methinks now we know.

Yet yesterday Miller opined that the division that handles these reviews is woefully understaffed. Seems they are staffed well enough to review every page on a group's website, read book reports, consider political ambitions of members, delve into all donors and donation amounts, and explore the members' thought processes. The staffers sound like a bunch of voyeurs.

If we do away with Obamacare, can we get rid of the entire Obamacare enforcement team?

Watched the hearings. J.Russell George = House Negro. He did everything but answer “yes massa” when responding to questions, and his answers were almost as much non-answers as the other a$$hole, Miller!

“Acting IRS honcho, Steven Miller, who oddly remains in his job days after being “ousted” from his job, acknowledged his agency provides “horrible customer service,” which suggests the IRS’s customer service policy was designed by Kermit Gosnell.”

Wicked, wicked sense of humor! I’m so thankful for your posts, and for making me laugh.

You’ve come back with a vengeance, JH2, and I’m thankful for that, too!
