Imprison Issa for doing nothing.

I still think the best thing we could do for Issa is get him some industrial strength testosterone injections

“So nothing will happen to Lerner, nothing CAN happen to lerner so long as Obummer regime is in power.”

Have the Republicans even asked for a special prosecutor to be appointed. I remember under Bush when the Dems were screaming for a special prosecutor in the Valerie Plame/Joe Wilson affair. To the best of my knowledge the House has not voted to request a special prosecutor be named. I don’t hear McCain, Hatch, Graham, McConnell, Boehner, etc. screaming to the press a special prosecutor be name.

It may be Holder will never appoint one but it is a certainty he won’t appoint one if you apply zero political pressure. I suspect Republican leaders are concerned about the potential for an adverse audit, or some information from NSA files coming out, than they are of the voters.

There is one party.

It’s protecting the IRS and the Obama regime through a variety of strategies. One of those strategies involves pounding the table, expressing outrage, and doing precisely nothing. It’s quite effective.

Have you looked at Issa,s trophy wall?

I did see today on TV chair Issa saying an independent prosecutor is needed in the IRS scandal.

I am going to reiterate my thesis on all current scandals but especially the IRS scandal because it resonates the most with public. My guess is republicans do not want to end these scandals real soon. Voter memories are notoriously short. If everything was resolved by July, 90% of voters will forget it by November. Most voters are NOT political junkies such as myself and many posters on FR.

The "cover story" is that the invitations were plaaced in the wrong envelopes---and that Lerner "accidentally" received Grassley's invite. So that would mean Grassley got Lerner's invite. Right?

UT-OH Grassley put out a statement that he does not have Lerner's invite.

==================================================

As FReeper Fair Paul insightfully posted: How would Lerner receive an invitation that was meant to go to Senator Grassley? Is she intercepting his mail/email?

Lerner "accidentally" receiving....and opening ....US mail addressed to Sen Grassley is a federal offense----in legal terms: tampering with US mail. Mail tampering refers to the willful theft, destruction or opening of the mail of another person without their consent.

The moral equivalent of the Watergate break-in.

===============================================================

REFERENCE----mail tampering is a crime punishable by incarceration, fines, or a term of probation. Within these individual United States, tampering with the mail may be a crime under state laws; however, mail fraud is a federal crime. The exact definition will vary by jurisdiction, but "tampering" generally includes opening, destroying, damaging, or interfering with mail intended for another person.

Under most states laws within the United States, mail is considered private property. As such, an individual has an expectation of privacy attached to his or her mail. When another person breaches that expectation of privacy, he or she may be guilty of mail tampering.

State laws differ, but in most cases, no one is allowed to open mail intended for another person. In many cases, even members of the same household cannot open mail addressed to another person in the same house. State statutes do frequently make an exception for United States Postal workers or other carriers if they are acting in good faith when opening the mail as part of their job.

Destroying, damaging, or interfering with the mail are also often considered mail tampering. For instance, removing mail from someone's mailbox or throwing mail away that is intended for another person may amount to a crime. Under most state statutes, tampering with the mail is a misdemeanor and is punishable by a term of imprisonment of up to a year or two.

The overriding question is---why would a federal agency w/ massive L/E powers----target Sen Grassley at all?

Consider that the vindictive lawless WH occupier went on jihad against Grassley for one reason. Sen Grassley was interfering w/ vote-crazed Oabma's plans to inundate America w/ illegal Democrat voters.

===============================================

American Patriot Grassley tried to protect Americans w/ his amendment to the Senate amnesty bill: "Congress should not thumb its nose at the millions of Americans who are victims of identity theft, often perpetrated by an undocumented person who steals Social Security numbers to get jobs, govt benefits, driver's licenses and more.

"This amendment would simply require the person applying for RPI status to disclose any previously used Social Security numbers," said Grassley. "It's the first step to helping clean up the mess that's been created for the victim of identity theft. The amendment also authorizes certain federal agencies, upon receipt of this information, to notify individuals who were the victims."

IS SEN SCHUMER COMPLICIT IN THE IRS/OBAMA CONSPIRACY AGAINST SEN GRASSLEY?: Dismissing Sen Grassley's proposal to protect Americans, Sen Schumer (Dem-NY) said: "When people are living in undocumented status, there are times, I suppose, when they've made up identities, made up Social Security numbers. How are they going to remember all that? (The) purpose of this bill is to bring people out of the shadows. We all know when they lived in the shadows, they had to forge documents, forge Social Security numbers, et cetera. I just don't see how, when you've lived here 10 years, and you've had many different identities, many different numbers, you're going to remember them all," said Schumer.
