Let’s see what happens. I say you’re wrong. It will leave a huge mark.

Trump’s success rate is far beyond anything anyone could have expected, given that he’s opposed by the democrat party who hide the fact that they’re communist, the republican party who hide the fact that they’re democrats, the media who can’t admit they’re anti-American subversives, and Hollywood who hide the fact they’re rapists and child molesters.

How can you apologize and leave the same creep who covered it all up in charge of the department?

Yeah, and some reparations, too. The man owes for this. How about a little affirmative action.

We're sorry the previous administration were such crooks.

I wonder if this is anything like when various governmental organizations intentionally lose lawsuits to be "forced" into doing what they want to do anyway. Get some court ordered swamp draining if the alligators are to thick to do it any other way.

“But Obama promised “not even a smidgen of corruption” at the IRS in his 2014 pre-Superbowl rant.”

Obama is a delusional but fervent ideologue who is so convinced that his ridiculous and indefensible world view is right such that he can rationalize any personal behavior. He truly needs to travel the world and educate himself, because he is currently the opposite of worldly. Beyond that, he's also a bit of a racist. So much for the enlightenment of law school.

Taking away her pension would be a start, but what she did was so serious as to deserve jail time—which would likely be the only way to deter her type in the future.

When you apply for a mortgage the IRS is notified

During this period of Lois Lerner I was making monthly payments for back taxes to IRS. I applied for a loan to refinance my house with no cash out, just lower interest/payment.

I received a letter from the IRS addressed to me IN LONG HAND (cursive)from an IRS office notifying me that they placed a lien on my house...

It’s proof that the federal permanent bureaucracy has grown far too large and powerful; it no longer recognizes any restraint on its power. Not from Congress, which it openly defies at every turn, not from the elected Executive, which it routinely ignores. Not from any Court it disagrees with.


IRS, FBI and the so-called “intelligence community” are among the agencies that are mainly interested in political operations against American citizens. Shut ‘em all down.

I think this opens up all sorts of intriguing possibilities. Ms. Lerner may not end up in prison, but she may end up in the poor house.

As well as some other stuff we can only imagine.

I like this. I think it may very well be a stroke of genius.

Don’t forget the 2012 election was also thrown by godzillary, Zero and their minions going on tv telling the American people that Benghazi was the result of a video, knowing the entire time that it was a terrorist attack.

I call “BS” on “The IRS was going to stonewall the TEA Party applications regardless of who was in the White House.”

Had there been ANY other person in the White House than Ophonybama, TEA Party would have been treated fairly!

Leftists break the law and we get an “apology”. When conservatives are railroaded (Scooter Libby), they get sentenced to prison.
