Scandals, scandals everywhere! This is the most crooked and corrupt regime ever to rise to power in this country. Heck, Barry makes King George III look like he was a nice, America-loving kind of guy.

Of course they did. Obama has placed his thugs all throughout the government agencies. It came from the top and retribution is what makes this angry black man tick.

Duh, of course they did. The key point, even if this was not politically driven, it was the usual government employee idea to keep their job at all costs. Any organization, like the tea party, is anathma to the desires of income tax auditors.

Yesterday it was “just some low level employee” but now it’s changing to an official per whistleblower. And AP is reporting!

No details at all but significant that it is being reported by AP. More shoes dropping?

TRUST ONCE LOST IS NEVER EASILY REGAINED.

reputation of the IRS and DO”J” for the rest of my lifetime.

Left wing soviet style political commissars are now present in every Federal agency including the CIA. They are directed and report directly to the White house. The IRS harassment of political groups was no “bureaucratic misjudgement”, nor was the altering of the “CIA talking points”. The Republicans must hold committee hearing on exactly who ordered and managed the Tea Party harassment.

“Cunning grows in deceit at seeing itself discovered, and tries to deceive with truth itself.” ― Balthasar Gracian, The Art of Worldly Wisdom

With fewer people willing to be deceived the administrations lies and deceptions are being exposed in record time.

The tide is turning.

I hope you're right, but look at Monicagate. Even with that Algore came within a whisker of winning in 2000, and the Clinton's are still America's favorite Democrats.

The IRS intimidation story is receiving more MSM press attention that Benghazi, until this week. I hope that increased scrutiny of Obama’s malfeasance freezes his attempts to take us farther down the road of destruction.

The fact that this happened during the election should not be lost. Just like with the Benghazi cover-up, Obama was doing everything he could to use the federal government to cripple Romney's ability to compete.

It's clear that the purpose for delaying the approval of the tax status for conservative groups was to prevent them from effectively participating for Romney.

Second to that was the desire to cause these groups to expend extra funds fighting the delays, as well as diverting their focus from supporting Romney to fighting the IRS.

The top man used the IRS for political motives. This deserves jail time.
