Justice to investigate IRS targeting of tea party
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Justice Department is investigating the Internal Revenue Service for targeting tea party groups for extra scrutiny when they applied for tax exempt status, Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday.
Holder said the FBI will investigate to see if any laws were broken. He said he ordered the criminal investigation Friday - the day the IRS publicly acknowledged that it had singled out conservative groups. SOURCE
I don’t usually start a post off by saying this and I don’t mean to offend my readers, but; this is the biggest crock of BULLSHIT to come out of the Obama regime yet … kinda like asking the FOX to look into who’s been raiding the hen house.
“Those (actions) were, I think, as everyone can agree, if not criminal, they were certainly outrageous and unacceptable,” Holder said. “But we are examining the facts to see if there were criminal violations.”
And just like in the Fast and Furious debacle, Eric Holder is *totally innocent*, his DOJ acted without his full knowledge and he is a pure as the driven snow.
Didn’t the DOJ lead the investigation into Fast and Furious? Again; the fox looks into the incident in the hen house. I can’t think of a better analogy.
Numerous congressional committees already are investigating the IRS for singling out tea party and other conservative groups during the 2010 congressional elections and the 2012 presidential election. But Holder’s announcement takes the matter to another level, if investigators are able to prove that laws were broken.
Holder said he wasn’t sure which laws may have been broken.
So far, I am way less than impressed by ANY Congressional investigation of late. The Congress has a long ways to go to mend the fences that they themselves have knocked down by their own digressions, inaction and scandals.
If investigators are able to prove that laws were broken? Seriously?
If investigators can’t prove that laws were broken in all of these scandals it will be because the investigators are far less than competent and are in the tank for Obama, as well as being blind as bats.
For crying out loud, Ray Charles could SEE the violations of Obama and Company.
Meanwhile, documents obtained by The Associated Press suggest the targeting of conservative groups could be more widespread than the IRS has acknowledged. The agency has said it was limited to low-level workers in a Cincinnati office.
Somehow I just can’t help but think there are even MORE hits to came and that those hits are going to be even more powerful than what we’ve seen to date.
This may be a story worth watching: Joseph Curl: ‘CIA source says still one more shoe to drop’ for Obama admin.
Obama and his minions have hung the CIA out to dry. They allowed CIA Officers to DIE in Benghazi, Obama and Company watched it happen, and the CIA is not very happy with Obama and his bunch of ne’er do wells right about now, and for what it’s worth, and to those that may not be aware; the CIA is NOT the organization that you want to piss off, I don’t care WHO you are.
Here is the fact of the matter; Barack Hussein Obama and his regime are in trouble, they are between that proverbial *rock and a hard place* and that is NOT the position you want a RAT like Obama to be.
Obama KNOWS that he is in trouble and that makes him even more dangerous!
Look for an *event* that will deflect all, or nearly all attention away from the current maladies Obama is suffering. Look for an *event* to take place on American soil that is so severe, so heinous that it would give Obama a legitimate reason to enact Martial Law and put America under direct rule from the Oval Office.
What might that event be? I can only guess, but I will say this, the Obama regime is so evil, so corrupt and so twisted that they make the administration of Richard Nixon look like a bunch of choir boys!
It’s about to get REAL America, dangerously REAL, and when it does I am of the opinion that the 1st move the Obama regime and Holder’s DOJ/ATF will make will be to make ALL firearms in the hands of civilians a FEDERAL crime and will use an Executive Order to justify the confiscation of those firearms.
THAT my friends is where it will begin. Barack Obama IS that dangerous, and that pompous. His arrogance is writing checks his ass can’t cash and now is the time to hit this narcissistic bastard with the NSF charges!
I agree with you totally. I have always believed that if his house of cards started to crumple it would be a dangerous situation. I thought on Monday he was going to announce that we and Britain were going to mix it up in Syria. Narcissists do not take criticism. Recall when he lost the House in 2012? A hard road lies ahead.
Unless the Senate and House BOTH grow a set…
The same DOJ that investigated and dismissed charges against the New Black Panthers on voter intimidation.
Yes Sir! And that is what we’ll see again from the most corrupt DOJ, AG and POTUS in American history…
The entire Obama administration is a vessel of excrement so large, the stench thereof so vile, and generally the entire Congress is right next to it. I really fear what the “event” will be to deflect our attention, but I’ll tell you it won’t deflect mine.
I am absolutely positive.
Fred, if you are right about the confiscation of all civilian firearms then we will have a very bloody civil war. So Obama becomes our Assad and he succeeds in ruining America….very not nice!
I don’t believe we’ll see CONFISCATION, I believe we may see an ORDER to confiscate but I know that most of American Law Enforcement will tell that Kenyan SOB to piss the hell off…
Wha’ chall meeeen? Obama dangerous? Nawwwww….

I wonder if John has changed his mind?
A comment like that makes McCain WORSE than a RINO!!!! We need to dump people on BOTH sides of the aisle!
“Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.”
Thomas Paine
I’m sick and tired of every politician.
I ranted and raved against McCain since BEFORE he ran for POTUS… Did anyone listen then?? Hell no, they supported him and said, with straight faces, “I am voting for Palin, not McCain” and that was the most STUPID remark any so-called Conservative could have ever made…
I am voting for Palin,,,not McCain,,as said in the above comment???
Shouldn’t it be the “other way to make sense”…..
It should, IF it made sense… But it doesn’t… I personally know several people that told me, point blank, I am NOT voting for McCain, I am voting for Palin…
And yeah, it was as stupid as it sounds… Sorry Rob, and anyone else that did this, or claimed to, it was a ridiculous rationale..
I voted for McCain because I was AGAINST Obama…good enough reason in my mind. I still recall reading a letter sent by the NRA written by a gun lobbyist in Illinois who wrote basically this: ” I would sit across the table from Obama and he would lie directly to my face. He would say he would vote one way and he turned around and voted the opposite.” Not a perfect quote as that was in the fall of 2008 before the election and my memory is not that precise. I would still vote for McCain, or my dog for that matter, over Obama!
Crazy as it sounds though, “I’m NOT voting for McCain, I’m voting for Obama” is even more stupid.
You can now refer to me as Captain Obvious!
Phew, I feel so much better knowing that Holder is on the case. But seriously if Obama was ever going to do something drastic to deflect the blame away from himself it would be now so we had better be prepared.
Let’s see now, wasn’t Bush’s Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales, forced to resign because of allegations of wiretapping? Seriously, I know Bush wasn’t perfect and he certainly had his faults, but the lengths to which the Obama administration is going to blame him for their failings is ridiculous. That’s just for starters.
To your belief that Obama will be even more dangerous if he is backed into a corner, I agree. That’s how a rat operates. He will defend himself viciously, if he feels threatened. I have to think he has to be feeling that way right about now.
We’ll just let the eastern diamondback rattler investigate itself when it bites you on the leg. My guess is that it will find itself exonerated.
And wouldn’t THAT be a shock?
