THEY WERE ORDERED
Did the whitehut know? Video at link, start at 6:00 mark
Bloomberg reporter: Can you assure the American people that nobody in the White House knew about the IRS’s actions before your Counsel’s office found out about the IG probe?
Obama’s response: I can assure you that I certainly did not know anything about the IG report before the IG report had been leaked through press reports.
Kelly brings up that the AP thereafter interpreted that as as denial of knowledge of the IRS practices. AP headline was “Obama assures he did not know about IRS political targeting”, which of course, was not at all what he said but no doubt what he wanted the take away to be.
So if you don’t respond specifically to that direct a question, what may one conclude?
Either you did know, or you are so unclear as to the involvement of your administration, you choose to deflect the question.
McCarthy discusses the concept in the law of implied admission when one doesn’t actually respond.
The American people deserve much more than weasel responses from our President.
This is bigger news that many probably realize...
A case could be made that the GOP establishment had more to gain from blocking the grassroots movement than Obama and the Rats would gain.
It would not surprise me if we found GOP unclean hands somewhere in this IRS mess.
After all, the IRS Commissioner who kicked it all off was a Bush appointee. Surely, the GOP has infiltrated the IRS over the years so that it could use the incompetence of the IRS to its political advantage.
Wasn't the GOP (Nixon) the first to be caught with it's hand in the cookie jar?
We'll learn a lot from how vigorously the GOP congress-critters pursue this IRS mess. It wouldn't surprise me if the IRS scandal goes away much faster than any of us would like.
So why are they doing it now with Benghazi heating up? Perhaps they are trying to dilute Benghazi with other scandals. This would only work with a Democrat.
Isn’t it odd the IRS apologized to begin with? Call me cynical, but what if this IRS thing really isn’t a scandal? That perhaps the ‘right-wingers’ are just being set up to appear to be on a witch hunt to diffuse the Benghazi situation? If no wrong doing is found with the IRS processing of groups, then right-wingers would lose their credibility. This would be the Marxists way of getting out of Benghazi.
Throw the Chicago Bums Inc out of office and into prison.
Since it was purely the decision of underlings, it kinda makes you wonder why the director resigned.
I’m really sick of the O Administration’s repeated “nobody told me” excuse for everything. It reminds me of Al Gore’s “the team decided it while I was taking a wizz and I didn’t find out for 3 months”. Way to admit that you sit and vegetate in meetings (probably plays games on his cell phone) and have the situational awareness of a lamppost.
Any program manager on earth would be fired for even trying to float such an excuse but the VP and President of the United States get a pass repeatedly. Makes me want to barf.
Obama is the one that ordered this..it came from the top..he despises Conservatives and this was his way of “Getting even” remember when he said that at a rally..about “getting even” looks like now we know what he meant by that
Clearly a decision that was not “politically motivated.” /sarc
What other "box" do honest American citizens have left remaining...?
Do they really want it to come to that?
They not only deliberately chose not to reveal the scandal, the merrily continued the criminal activities that composed it. This wasn’t a case of “we’ll just do it until we need glasses”, it was an ongoing program of deliberate political terrorism.

How about the next scandal be the voter fraud and who committed it and how?
By June 17, 2012 he had played 100 rounds of golf. You can give thousands of orders with that many round of golf.
So if I get audited, can I use the IRS’s line: “Mistakes were made...”
In other words, the IRS cheated? Yet broke no laws?
