Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich), chairman of the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations is preparing a report that will absolve the IRS and Lois Lerner of any wrongdoing in the campaign to target and harass conservative political organizations.
“Those who have alleged that Lerner and the IRS took it upon themselves to conduct a vendetta against conservative organizations have it all wrong,” Levin alleged. “Evidence has emerged that the IRS was acting upon urgent requests from highly placed members of the government. Bureaucrats being responsive to the needs of the government is behavior we should be encouraging not punishing.”
The highly placed members of the government cited by Levin included himself and fellow Senators Richard Durbin (D-Ill), Charles Schumer (D-NY), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Tom Udall (D-Colo), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Al Franken (D-Minn), Michael Bennet (D-Colo), and Jeff Merkley (D-Ore).
“When a Senator is on the other end of the phone or email, a public servant’s duty must be to assist in whatever way he or she can,” Levin insisted. “These requests must be expedited, not impeded by excessive attention to rules and regulations. It was not Ms. Lerner’s job to insert her judgment as a barrier to carrying out the wishes of the people who vote on the appropriations to fund the agency she works for.”
In addition to the procedural arguments raised in defense of the IRS, Senator Levin pointed out that “substantively, the organizations flagged by the Senators were reasonably suspected of anti-government views and activities. It was the IRS’ patriotic duty to interdict these organizations in whatever way it could in order to help thwart their attempts to undermine the President and his loyal supporters.”

The fact that Levin expects people to believe whatever it is, is ridiculous.
The Dhimmorcats cleared ‘em.
Whatta relief!
...and OJ Simpson clears himself of murder
I would put all these open border democratic senators in the slammer along with Lerner and her lost email co-workers. But I can’t forget THE FOREIGNER, who was the chief instigator in this scandal and LIED DIRECTLY TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE about it. But I’m sure this communist democrat thought it was a NOBLE LIE.
File this with the ARB report on Bengahzi, where Hillary Clinton WASN’T interviewed.
So he’s saying that members of the Democrat Nomenklatura told the IRS to harass Conservatives? I’ll go along with that!
check Levin’s emails.....
Almost got me with your “Semi-News/Semi-Satire!”
Oh, and by the way, both Levin and Cummings have been implicated as organizers of the IRS abuse of power.
In fact, the reason Levin is retiring from the Senate is his participation in the IRS scandal.
Our government has degenerated so badly under Obama and the Democrats that satire is actually more believable than propaganda c**p they try to feed us.
damn it John... the title shot my BP up at least 20pts till i saw your name, and it still hasn't returned to normal
Ditto.
Do you ever get job offers from the dhimmis John?
;’)

WTF???? -— Oh hi John.
rdcbn - I’m laughing with you but not at you!
And don’t feel badly: I’ve been had SEVERAL times by Semmens. I’m a “Recovering Semmens Mark.”
This might help. When the thread title seems a little weird check for “Semmens” then check for “Semi-News/Semi-Satire.”
The CPUSA thinks it’s untouchable.
Hard times coming strong.
