Uh Oh….. The IRS scandal is “about to explode.” There’s a paper trail that leads “all the way to top levels” in D.C.

Dont forget late 2009 when Obama declared war on FNC, then 3+ years later we find out that Holder justice department told judges that some FNC reporters were suspected of committing Treason and Espionage

[stephenjohnbanker]

I didn’t know this. Well, we know from whence the treason emanates.

[muawiyah]

It is entirely possible Lois Lerner’s husband, or a very close friend of his paid “attention’ to her ~ maybe that’s possible. You be the judge. She has a track record suggesting she’d do this stuff for free ~ but notice please, SHE GOT CAUGHT!

[muawiyah]

You do understand I favor recission of the 16th amendment

[tacticalogic]

I'm in favor of that, too.

I'm also in favor of "original intent" interpretation of the Constitution.

Wickard v. Filburn was a constitutional atrocity that has turned the beltway into a regulatory industry that sucks the life out of ordinary people like an army of leeches. The excesses committed under the guise of "regulating commerce" have taught me to hate bureaucrats and bureaucracies.

[sarge83]

The republicans need to attack these two and other politicians who demanded this fiasco and tar and feather them as people who want to disenfranchise voters and oppressors of free speech. No need to play nice, hit’em in the teeth and if the press defends their lackeys they have teeth too! Get the press on camera and ask “journalists” point blank are you journalists or partisans?

Attack! Attack! Attack!

I know, whistling in the wind with the Grand Old Puss Party...

[muawiyah]

I believe it was my first post on this particular scandal ~ here's one on May 16, 2013 at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3020140/posts Not a whole lot of Freeper interest then ~ handful of posts. But on May 13, 2013 I had already named Geitner as the big target at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3019062/posts?page=19 and again here on May 13 ~ with my best post yet "but what if they were unaware and it was actually Tim Geithner siccing his goons on the TEAParty ~ he's already got a public record as a tax cheat, and a guy who'd do that would mess around misusing public agencies.

[muawiyah]

You should actually hate the judges ~ I, myself, can hardly walk by one of their graves without stopping to relieve myself.

I have some for them too, but ultimately every man must be held to acount for his own actions regardless of whether someone else gave him permission or not. They don't get a pass just because some judge or group of judges said it was OK.

[muawiyah]

Yes, they do get a pass because they wouldn’t have thought it up on their own. Judges have become the bane of our existence.

[tacticalogic]

Yes, they do get a pass because they wouldn’t have thought it up on their own.

My Mom wouldn't let me get away with that when I was 4, and a neighbor's older son talked me into doing something wrong.

The Republicans could attack them, but the fact is their constituents think they are doing what is right by keeping Republicans out of office.

The Politicians are no worse than the voters hat put them there.

[Lee'sGhost]

Soooooo.....when are we going to find out what it is?

[stephenjohnbanker]

Thanks for the ping, and info.

[savedbygrace]

LOL.

[Gandalf_The_Gray]

When I first started working...way back in the 80’s, the old timers called that the “Pearl Harbor File”.

PS If the auditors can't find it, it never happened! Always keep a copy!

We used to call that "CYA", same idea...

The entire; embedded; treasonous Left needs to be removed. There can be no significant change; as long as those 'who believe' - not in America; but only in 'changing America by any/all means possible' - remain at their Government stations.

An ideological narcissism at work; whereby these people live to 'recast' our nation; in their inferior image.

[NRA1995]

Change the to...”Internal Revenge Service.”

The first thing is to get the word "service" out of there; IRS is anything BUT a service.
