NYT:Obama Administration Knew of IRS Scandal 5 Months Before Election [ Stolen Election ]
breitbart.com ^ | May 17 2013 | John Nolte

Posted on 05/17/2013 1:38:21 PM PDT by NoLibZone

In no uncertain terms and with no hedging, The New York Times reports that the Obama Administration was aware of the fact that the IRS was targeting Tea Party groups as far back as June of 2012. The Treasury Department's Inspector General confirmed that he told senior Treasury officials in June of 2012, a full five months before Election Day:

The Treasury Department’s inspector general told senior Treasury officials in June 2012 he was investigating the Internal Revenue Service’s screening of politically active organizations seeking tax exemptions, disclosing for the first time on Friday that Obama administration officials were aware of the matter during the presidential campaign year.

We still don’t know for sure what the President knew or when he knew it, but this does confirm that the Administration was aware of the fact that Obama's political enemies were under fire by the IRS and covered that fact up during an election year.

Rico them....and the donkey they rode in on...

The Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act is a group of federal laws passed by the United States Congress in 1970 to deal with organized racketeering activity.

RICO law is specifically directed at individuals or organizations involved in systematic, long-term illegal activities.

It increases criminal penalties and allows civil claims to be pursued by injured parties against individuals, businesses or groups for actions taken as part of a criminal organization

In a Bivens Action one must first demonstrate his civil rights have been violated.

Well....the IRS gave all the collected info about Tea Party donors and funding to a rival dim organization for starters.

A REAL Speaker would be running the media now, not hiding from it.

A REAL Speaker would have drawn up articles of Impeachment long time ago - before the election of Nov 2012. BUT everyone though there was no way this clownish buffoon could be reelected to another term - they stole it by hiding all the facts.

Agreed.... that is why we cannot let this stand.

But yes, many; specifically in D.C.; do not have the stomach to take the course of action that is hard, but right.

Dear Lord, please share Your strength.

I’ll be right with you. We may need to build a new prison to house all of these criminals. And gallows for the Traitors.

Will the left all dump on their favorite paper the NYT for revealing the truth about their fearless leader?

The idiots can handle a little truth sprinkled throughout the lies...

You are absolutely right. How can hey say that it was two low level subordinates and also claim not to have any names? They can’t have it both ways. And how can the president claim he only found out about it by reading the newspaper last week, when the IG has been conducting his “investigation” since the Spring of 2012? The Secretary of Treasury, who answers to the president, knew of the investigation since June, 2012. And lets not forget that Harry Reid had Romney’s tax information during the election and he bragged about it on the Senate floor and Romney’s biggest donor was being audited. Sheesh!

Is it legal to make a citizen’s arrest of POTUS?

The Secret Service should arrest the President. Obama is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, and has failed to protect the constitution.

Screw the part of the country that elected him. Evil prevails when good men do nothing. As a country are we going to take this lying down? I hope goodness and truth prevail and that the outcome of these hearings results in the correct outcome being achieved diplomatically but if not then what? We will have become the left’s punching bags for the unforeseen future and sink further into dictatorship and loss of personal freedoms. In 30 years time our grandchildren will live in a radically PC and Godless society.

Seems like I heard a Democrat on the committee asking the IRS questions say he “disliked” the Right.
He didn't say he “disagreed” with the Right, he said he “disliked” the Right.

“..the part of the country that voted for him will set the country on fire...”

Let em do it!! And if they venture outside of the inner city, then we’ll deal with it “appropriately”. The rule of law needs to be re-implemented, or we will forever be slaves to this tyranny.

Beware of the NYT bearing gifts.
