Criminal Charges Not Expected in IRS Probe (Tea Party)
The Wall Street Journal ^ | Monday, January 13, 2014 | Devlin Barrett

Catherine’s (and her family) life was completely turned upside down by several fed branches - and the IRS hounded them privately and business-wise. Yet, no one is being charged. Got it.

Obama supporters are unlikely to find wrongdoing by other Obama supporters. It’s the same with police. Police almost never find evidence of police brutality or other wrongdoing.

The thing that will make me even sicker is IF a republican gets elected president he’ll say “We need to move forward.” And nothing will be done.

Just as with Benghazi. If there will be no criminal charges, there must be political depth charges thrown at regular, frequent intervals.

When do we begin the push back against this criminal government? When do we actually do something? At what point do we react?

Or do we sit idly by and continue to let these bastards destroy our country? We should be burning down their godamn houses!

Revolts aren’t won by votes!

Don’t you remember the story just a week or so ago? The FBI changed their mission statement “-—national security.” They took out the part about law enforcement. Seems like they are saying, then, there is no national security problem in the IRS? So who do we get to look into, oh, maybe, illegal cheapkrap in the IRS? At a minimum sorting applications by the party of the applicant might just be illegal or at least lawsuit worthy?

LOL, I just see Boehner shrugging his shoulders and saying “oh well”.

Well of course. It was just a mistake. They will never do it again.
