Earlier this morning I questioned the new spin out of the White House that Kathryn Ruemmler would have informed Barack Obama’s chief of staff Denis McDonough and a number of other senior staffers in Obama’s inner circle of the IRS abuse and corruption about to blow up in an IG report, and somehow that news never got to the President himself. House Speaker John Boehner also is having trouble swallowing that explanation. In an interview last night with Greta van Susteren, Boehner called it “inconceivable” that so many people knew about the practice and the probe, and yet Obama remained entirely ignorant of it until watching the news:
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Wednesday said he believed it was “inconceivable” that President Obama did not learn sooner about the Internal Revenue Service’s political targeting of Tea Party groups.“It’s pretty inconceivable to me that the president wouldn’t know,” Boehner told Fox News’s Greta Van Susteren. “I’m just putting myself in his shoes. I deal with my senior staff every day. And if the White House had known about this, which now it appears they’ve known about it for about a year, it’s hard to imagine it wouldn’t have come up in some conversation.” …
Boehner said top officials may have “attempted to insulate the president from this news.”
“But with as many people that were involved in the audit, the number of people involved in the investigation, somebody — and the number of people in the White House that knew — it really is inconceivable that he wouldn’t have known about it,” he added.

If that ever happened to me, I would have fired a whole bunch of folks starting with the CoS.
What common point of communication would the BATFE, OSHA, the FBI, and the IRS have?
Because all of these seem to descend on the folks who apply for 501c4 status under a conservative sounding name.
Does any sentient being actually believe anything bonehead says?
Or think that that chicken lipped ‘tard would do anything about it?
Shulman said yesterday that during 118 visits to the White House, HE never brought up the IRS scandal.
May be true. . .that Clintonian answer of his. . .the question should be; “Did ANYONE working for, or on behalf of, the White House bring up the IRS scandal?”
That would close the loop-hole answer he gave.
Boehner does not want to pursue benGhazi.
Did he help the treason?
Which side is he on?
EVERY DAY HE DELAYS, DEMONSTRATES HIS ALLEGIANCE
TO THE UNDOCUMENTED TYRANT.
“Boehner: “Inconceivable” that Obama didn’t know about IRS abuse”
Welcome to the party genus...now F’n doing something about it would you.
What Boehner fails to account for is the fact that Obama only works a couple hours a day. If you can even call what he does work.
Check out his schedule. After today he is off through TUESDAY.

Boehner is such a let down. He should get help for his drinking. He needs to support the American people instead of covering for the establishment helping the country not helping a party. Of course, Boehner is correct that Obama well knew of these abuses. For goodness sakes, Obama had an enemies list.
TS
titanium spine, that’s Boehner for you.
It took 7 posts for somebody to add that? LOL
I find it “inconceivable” that Boner, despite his name, has no backbone to save the country.
Is it just because Boehner feels lonely and needs to inject some remarks?
Once in a while, he would say something, and then back to golfing with Obama.......
You want more proof? Read this...
White House counsel met with top treasury lawyer three times last year after learning of IRS audit
C’mon. barry’s his old golfing partner. They were sure yucking it up on the course about something 2-3 weeks ago.
Would you play golf with this disgusting, murderous islamist bastard? I know I wouldn’t.
It’s also INCONCEIVABLE, that Johnny boy and his butt buddies including pig face Rove, were not aware of the suppression by the IRS of the Tea Party.
If I remember correctly, he assured Diane Sawyer that he had effectively crushed “ALL” Tea Party Representatives in the House.
Obama made jokes in public about the IRS and auditing his enemies.
Obama knew.
Why can’t Boehner just pull up transcripts and dates where Obama made jokes in public about this?
