I see no other credible explaination, they didnt want 2012 to be another 2010 so they (IRS) squashed groups opposing Obama and gave a free pass to those supporting him.
But... Obama is outraged over it and he fired a scapegoat so everything is fixed now.
I really liked Boeners comment yesterday ;”I am looking for procecutions and convictions”
Look at what happened to Scooter Libby.
Yes, and the scapegoat was leaving in two or three weeks anyway. Why can’t the American people understand? They are blinded by what they think is their own self-interest.
Since Fitzpatrick knew from day one that Richard Armitage gave Valerie Plames name to Robert Novak, the investigation became a procedural prosecution. Scooter Libby was not agile enough to avoid the traps Fitz set. I often wonder how a smart man like him did get tripped up.
