Imagine President Biden.
Actually, I’d settle for prison time for Boner.
Fine, Mr. Boehner—start the ball rolling.
Yeah, right.
Upon what ice cube did bonehead write that promise?
They will not enforce immigration law so why should I believe they will enforce any law? I don’t trust Boehner any more than I trust Obama. We are being governed by scofflaws and we are letting them get away with it.
I’d rather we just hang the treasonous bastards. Right after we have tarred and feathered them in public!
Yeah, you should live that long, Boehnhead . . . who’s going to drag anybody’s sorry ass out of our White House, IRS, or Justice Center? Huh? You? Or are you gonna’ cry if they won’t leave? Huh?
I read that the head of the IRS was a Bush era appointee. I get why the White House would want to muck around and use people’s tax records and the audit process for political ends, but what was the head of the IRS doing? Cooperating? Looking the other way? Were people just working around him and keeping him in the dark?
Also, back in the day (80s) I worked one summer for the District Counsel of the IRS. There was definitely a professional ethic in our office of being like the “Untouchables”— that the civil servants could not be bought and were determined not to be political. And the secrecy of people’s tax information was absolutely critical and was drilled into us interns time and again. The head of the office recalled proudly how the IRS resisted cooperating with the Nixon White House’s political schemes, as an example. Has the IRS workplace culture changed this much since Bush 41 was president? Or were various employees bullied or pressured to cooperate?
Sending two or three mail clerks from the Cincinnati Field Office to Leavenworth while Obama skates ain’t justice in my book.
Maybe like the bankers ‘too big to jail’.
Prison time is always possible - but only for Republicans.
It's bigger than that. Someone made a decision to disclose confidential information to persons who were not authorized to receive it, and used the U.S. Mail to transmit that information. That is a major felony! Further, persons unauthorized to receive the information, then used that information to target political rivals in an election. Another major felony. And finally, all this was done to attempt to interfere with a federal election. This should be a RICO criminal and civil investigation.
Don’t let you mouth write checks your A$$ can’t cash there johnnie boy.
“might deserve prison time”
MIGHT ! He’s really going out on a limb there.
Big deal. Put some IRS stooge in jail for doing the bidding of the White House? That will surely fix things.
Boner crawled out from under the bar to predict six more weeks of investigations. Film at 11.
Obummer is creating these scandals as fast as he can. Maybe he thinks if there are enough of them out there the Republican National Geniuses (collective I.Q.=113) will get so confused they won’t be able to concentrate on any of them.
