Obama and his lapdogs have a habit of going after Inspectors Generals.

They also go after Republicans for trifling offenses.

Someday, OUR SIDE is going to have control of the IRS. We must never forget this. What goes around...

questioning the independence of Treasury Department inspector general J. Russell George.


But appointing an investigator who gave 6000.00 to zero is A-OK.

This is how RATS’ minds work.

I’ve said it over and over again. Liberals, when they must defend the indefensible, ALWAYS attack those who attack the indefensible.

I agree.

We live in a world war of propaganda.

A world in which the primary objective is to control the narrative.

Finally, an investigation that will go some where and put a a bunch of people in jail or worse.

Good point...I’d bet if there is an honest investigation of this IG there’ll be nothing found pointing to bias on his part.

Don’t know who Cartwright is, but Rep. Gerald Connelly (D-VA). is the closest living thing to an SS Officer. The man is a psychopathic fascist and was even when he was on the Fairfax County Council and then the head of it.

The Mafia is jealous of him, that’s how bad he is.

If he ever wants to “reach across the aisle” to the opposition, it is to strangle them.

In the scheme of things, he ranks with right up there in the top 5-10 of the crazy SOB Democrats in the House - Wasserman-Schulz; Sheila Lee Jackson; commie Jan Schakowsky; commie Barbara Lee; Cummings, the Demos coverup man in the House; Rangel the rich red; Conyers the top Communist in Congress for nearly 50 years; Alan Grayson, who makes Charlie Manson sound sane, etc.

Singing, “Oh what a lovely bunch of coconuts” we have.

And we are paying their salaries! Now that is the ultimate insult.

George produced a "fundamentally flawed performance audit" that was "incomplete" and "outright misleading."
Waiting for George to be fired ... still waiting ... I hear crickets ... waiting ...

Digusting. Dems on offense while the GOP sits on their hands.

Boehner, Camp and Issa have been disgraceful on this issue. It makes me think they really don’t care we were assaulted by the IRS. I wonder how they would feel if their kids got this type of treatment from the IRS?

Democrats response to this?

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2014/02/engelbrecht_unloads_on_the_honorable_elijah_cummings.html

“The Democratic talking point was faux outrage at payback to the honorable Elijah Cummings, ranking member, delivered by Catherine Engelbrecht of True the Vote. It seems that Cummings sent her three missives on committee letterhead that Engelbrecht correctly interpreted as intimidation. How else was she to interpret them, coming as they did on the heels of years of abuse by government agencies, and raising the specter of a congressional investigation into alleged voter suppression, a code name for racism?

Apparently having had enough, Engelbrecht and her lawyer, Cleta Mitchell, delivered an in-your-face in the form of a formal complaint filed with the Office of Congressional Ethics alleging an abuse of power.”

They don’t even have to find anything wrong in the end, it will serve their purpose to just blow smoke and drag out the actual investigation of the IRS long enough.

Thanks, that’s undoubtedly why Obama/Holder picked Connelly for this.

"Our" side never uses it.

You can count on less than one finger the number of career bureaucrats any Republican administration has summarily dismissed.

One of my constant complaints over the past 40 years.

Leftist Dems are Rats. Nothing new there.

The real ultimate insult is supporting “Republicans” who do nothing about our constitutional rights being violated.

I expect this stuff from power mad and rampaging Dems. I expect better from the GOP.

Like a good Gestapo or SS Officer, I’m sure Connelly volunteered for the job as hitman.

As a conservative Jew, I’m personally glad he’s not in the gas or plumbing (showers) business.
