BTTT!!!

Is this doesn’t result in at least one person going to PRISON for a very long time, then I think we can officially consider ourselves a banana republic.

Five days after Rep. Cumming's first letter to True the Vote in October 2012, in which he requested information on "training materials used for volunteers," the IRS sent True the Vote another request asking for information on volunteers and training.

I am impressed. Until I read this I sincerely doubted that Rep. Cumming could actually write.

Rep. Darrell Issa, head of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, sent a letter today to ranking member Rep. Elijah Cummings in which he accuses Cummings of working to "obstruct the investigation" into IRS misbehavior

Sometimes I think these people waste a lot of time writing letters. Why not just get in his face, like that Texan did to Holder. After all, they are both on the same committee. Does Issa actually expect an answer to his letter?

Eject Cummings from the the House Oversight Committee.

Then call him, under oath, to testify before that Committee.

Then send him to prison.

Washington, D.C. – House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) today announced that the Committee will convene for a business meeting on Thursday, April 10, 2014 at 9:00 AM in room 2154 of the Rayburn House Office Building to consider a resolution holding Lois G. Lerner, former IRS Director of Exempt Organizations, in contempt of Congress for refusing to answer questions before Congress on May 22, 2013 and March 5, 2014, at a hearing entitled, “Targeting Americans for their Political Beliefs.”

Democrats wanted to impeach Nixon for less.

Which Democrat wanted to know the individuals associated with Conservative groups, the reading material, the prayers and the website admin password of Conservative groups???

And which Democrat wanted the names of individuals who donated to Natl Org for Marriage released to the gay rights group???

Republicans can wipe the floor with Democrats if they stopped attacking Conservatives cause this is worse than Bill Clinton lying to a Court!

Let’s hope that this story gets traction and will be discussed on the weekend talk shows.

It will be interesting to see how the Obama media reacts to this story.

Does this open the door for Truth the Vote to take legal action against Cummings?

The origin of the questions specific to the organization can be traced back to Cummings. He can not suggest that his actions were those of a legislative nature. This means the IRS targeted them was due to a political nature. Could this be the grounds necessary for Truth the Vote to step up against IRS and claim they were attacked for political retribution on behalf of Cummings?

Elijah hit the big time. He made the Daily Mail as well:

GOP claims Democratic congressman colluded with IRS’s Lois Lerner to gather information on conservatives

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2601098/GOP-claims-Democratic-congressman-colluded-IRSs-Lois-Lerner-gather-information-conservatives.html

So then Mr Issa — what are you going to do about it???

Sure explains some of the temper-tantrums and theatrics from a few weeks ago. Sure explains lil Lois and the 5th.

If I was a wagering sort of man, I might bet that this goes higher and deeper.

Cummings should be under arrest and at the very least thrown
off of the committee that he has obviously been undermining.

It’s been very hard to allow the wheels of justice to turn in this case. To me and many others it seemed that Issa just wasn’t pushing hard enough to get to the truth here.

I am guessing that these emails are part of the ones the IRS was forced to release which they claimed would take months to fully redact.

I am willing to give Rep. Issa the benefit of the doubt and hope that today’s revelations means that he is getting close to real action against those who used the government to intimidate American citizens for their political views.

True the Vote had to be stopped and that is why the IRS and Cummings have done what they did.

Voter fraud is rampant in the USA and the Marxist/Progressive’s are pulling the stops to prevent any investigation into the fraud.

Here’s the deal.

Texas, as far as the liberals are concerned, is in play.

They have been spending a tremendous amount of money on their “astroturf” efforts to turn Texas Blue. They managed this in Virginia more recently.

“True the Vote” is a real threat.

Mission Statement

True the Vote is an initiative developed by citizens for citizens, meant to inspire and equip volunteers for involvement at every stage of our electoral process. We promote ideas that actively protect the rights of legitimate voters, regardless of their political party affiliation.

We are working to restore integrity to the American system of electing its leaders. With True the Vote, we have, “deconstructed the entire process, focusing on educating voters, examining the registry, recruiting, training and mobilizing election workers and poll watchers, training how to collect data all along the way, then use the data to shape government action and legislative agendas to support desperately needed election code reform.”

Our government was built upon the belief that election results represent the true will of the people and our election processes were always intended to be supported by citizen volunteers. We are helping stop corruption where it can start – at the polls.

As Scooby Doo would say, or was that Astro ? anyway, RUH ROH !
No wonder there was a flap between Issa and Cummings about a month ago...... or was that some other investigation ? ... No wonder Elijah Cummings acted the way he did towards Issa a few weeks ago, Elijah Cummings was in on it targeting some groups with the IRS.

The GOP will never regain prominence until a leader arrives who promises and delivers massive retaliation against the leftists who are destroying our nation. That includes direct action to remove civil servants who proselytize and judges who betray the Constitution. It’s a matter of guts and telling the truth and the first leader to stand up and state the truth without fear will destroy the opposition.
