Excellent!

Wonder if it is related to this

An IRS Scandal Inseparable from Obamacare

27 states have rejected setting up Obamcare exchanges...the IRS is trying to save Obamacare by illegally funding it

from link

... As scary as is the medical record theft..... the more important of these two additional scandals involves IRS skullduggery relating to the exchanges. A year ago,the IRS finalized a regulatory ruling to the effect that it will issue taxcredits through Obamacare’s federal insurance exchanges. Why is that such a big deal? Well,the IRS has been granted no legal authority,by the Affordable Care Act (PPACA) or any other act of Congress,to issue such credits. In fact,the ruling flouts the explicit language of Obamacare.

Has anyone thought that if they are having a public meeting, some people would have recorded the meeting secretly. A group this known would have had followers. Just talking but can you say blackmail. This does answers some questions.

Charge both the Sec of Labor & HHS with anti-deficiency violation.

Make it personal and criminal, as they use RICO tactics in an attempt to garner private funds for Federal work.

The Chicago Way has apparently become institutionalized in the federal bureaucracy:
“Dat’s a nice news soivice youse got dere. Be a shame if sumpin bad happened.
“Youse ain’t gonna run again, right? (’Lucky’ Lerner)
“Yer buyin’ peace a mind, an’ git ta keep yer thumbs. Good choice.”
