Attorney General Holder will get right on it.
As soon as he finishes his investigations into Fast & Furius and Benghazi.
FREEPER MOUTON INSIGHTFULLY POSTED: Sue them civilly. Lerner/Cummings using the mails in furtherance of organized criminal activity and obstruction of justice looks like a RICO violation......forfeiture of personal property could be used against them both.
========================================
It's very easy to file a RICO action....anybody can file....how-to's are all over the net.
My observations tell me the scalawags always make a mistake---usually on paper. TTV's atty, Cleta Mitchel needs to get her hands on as many documents as possible.
Mitchel needs to establish RICO's "pattern of organized activites" ---- usually RICO is filed in conjunction w/ other proveable crimes (felonies).
===================================================
The IRS Conservative Targeting Scandal involves:
•Targeting Hundreds of conservative groups
•At least 5 pro-Israel groups
•Constitutional-based groups
•Groups that criticized Obama administration
•At least two pro-life groups
•An 83 year-old Nazi concentration camp survivor
•An 180 year-old Baptist paper
•A Texas voting-rights group (Obama has targeted Republican Texas for Dummcrats)
•A Hollywood conservative group targeted and harassed
•Conservative activists and businesses
•At least one conservative Hispanic group
•100% of the 501(c)(4) Groups Audited by IRS Were Conservative.
===================================================
The unrepentant, undeterred IRS continued to target groups even after the scandal was exposed. There is NO EVIDENCE that a single liberal group got the same scrutiny.
I agree. Blown wide open is an exaggeration.
Issa is still sitting on his ars. The whole House is numb and worthless with Bonehead crying his eye out in fear. America is in its final stages of becoming a totally communists dictatorship and King Obama has an armed to the teeth brown shirts. Example the BLM, TSA, and the Homeland Security as well as other like the DOJ under Holder. It might just be too late to recover the King Obama destruction of America.
I guess we need to change the meaning of ‘smidgen’.
Until ABC, CBS, NBC, cover this story IN DETAIL, it can not be considered “Blown Wide Open”!!
Ping!
We are closing in on 2 years to the election.
Surely Obama and Holder can run out that clock.
There will never EVER be a story important enough to compel the MSM to damage the political fortunes of their political messiah.
“Blown wide open is an exagerreration...”
Yup.
MOre than fourty per-cent of the electorate loves these shenanigans committed by Progressives and they absolutely hate anyone on the right.

Rhode Island? *snicker*
Good enough for me, hang the bitch.
Probably true, but if true, ONLY because the DNC-run national media refuses to cover this in order to protect 0bama. If this happened under a GOP administration, this would be BLOWN WIDE OPEN 24/7. The press knows that and should be shamed with it every time they ever ask a Republican politician a question about anything until a Special Prosecutor is appointed.
IMHO, this truly IS a Game-Changer. If the Speaker of the House and the Minority Leader of the Senate hold a joint press conference to highlight this direct evidence of such criminal activity (RICO) ... and email evidence was produced for Judicial Watch in a FOIA request, but NOT Congress in a Constitutionally required oversight process ... and publicly call upon 0bama nonstop to appoint a Special Prosecutor, the pressure will build ... on both 0bama and the press to cover it.

” Perhaps even if it’s a Dem.”
I work or come in contact with several ultra liberal attorneys, doctors, businessmen and know a few local professors here in California that are NOT happy with what they’re seeing politically; Observations about what they would normally call “Their Side”.
Several of them are circulating chain emails with stories on Bundy, the IRS, the Justice Dept, The TSA, gov’t spending, foreign policy etc where I get to be privy to their comments.
My only comments to them is that they are starting to sound like Tea Partiers (What they accuse me of being).
The music to my ears is that they seem to be as stubborn in wanting to fight these policies as they used to be about fighting (Poor outnumbered) me. There is an attitude change happening.
As I actually know many of these people well, my take is they are all still typical liberal do gooders. But, they are figuring out that something is drastically wrong. They are growing more and more suspicious of what they have blindly supported.
Also interesting is the fact that they are expanding their normal source of gathering information beyond The NYT, the Wash Post etc. and sending links they pull from various sources that are new to them. They’re realizing this is what they have to do to find out what the heck is going on.
When I think back 45 years ago when I was a dumb a$$ liberal myself the straw that broke my belief system was realizing I had been lied to, suckered.
I then realized most conservatives actually did want a fair and just world, cared about the needy and other things but relied on themselves and communities to deal with those issues, not government. Also that redistribution doesn’t work, you need a string military, points I never hesitate to drill into this group.
I gotta say from my perspective I’m startled at what I’m witnessing from my local observation point and can only hope this is happening more widespread then just my circle.
Larry Noble is the Executive Director of the Center for Responsive Politics (see here for Democracy Project’s take on the place Noble and CRP occupy in Pew-funded reform universe). In that capacity he is often heard to decry the long history of FEC ineffectiveness - drawing a salary, btw from unnamed and undisclosed donations. Interesting only because Noble is, well, pretty enthusiastic about disclosure for everyone else. What he fails to remind his audiences is that from 1987 to 2000 Noble was the chief legal eagle at the FEC. In fact, he began working at the agency in 1977.
Noble is a true-believer in Progressive political reform (read: using the power and force of government to restrict and proscribe political activity). We all have political and ideological views, to be sure. Perhaps the more devastating criticism of Noble should be for his complete and utter lack of administrative ability and judgment he displayed while at the Commission.
To add insult to injury, things improved dramatically after Noble’s departure in 2000.
Noble’s questionable leadership and judgment extended to his choices about legal strategy. Noble would pursue radical legal theories, and take on big cases with volumes of discovery (and expense both for respondents at the Commission) where the law was, at best, unsettled. This could have only diverted resources better used in public education and disclosure, and fostered a poor record in the courts. The only justification I can think of for such an approach is if you believe your primary mission as General Counsel is to accumulate more authority for the Commission through investigative and judicial proceedings - far beyond simply enforcing law.
The Noble record in a nutshell: In his 23 years at the Commission he pursued marginal legal theories, resisted extending procedural rights to respondents, and managed the General Counsel’s office into a morass of delayed justice. Since his departure, the FEC is handling more cases; handling them quicker; the backlog of “stale” cases is gone; more and larger fines are levied, all while providing more due process. Marginal court cases are not clogging the litigation calendar.

How can it be blown wide open when the public won’t know about it. Watergate was all day everyday in the media for two years.
