Democratic New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen was principally involved in a plot with Lois Lerner and President Barack Obama’s political appointee at the IRS to lead a program of harassment against conservative nonprofit groups during the 2012 election, according to letters exclusively obtained by The Daily Caller.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) did not want to publicly release 2012 correspondences exchanged between the IRS and Jeanne Shaheen at her personal Washington office: the agency delayed releasing the information to a major conservative super PAC multiple times, even threatening to see the super PAC in court, according to emails.

And yet I’ve not heard Franken’s opponent mention this once
******
And what about Udall and Landrieu and Begich?
Where is the GOP on this research?
Flashback:
Campaign Contributions Ensnare Udall in IRS’s Missing Emails Scandal ( Colorado )
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3170549/posts
Udall has accepted $13,000 in donations from the National Treasury Employees Union that represents IRS employees
Other Democratic senators who took campaign donations from the IRS union include Sens. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana who received $25,500, Al Frankin of Minnesota with $5,000, and Mark Begich of Alaska
Well, her political career is over hopefully.
Should be pulling a 6AM-9PM GOTV anyone that cares to get Brown in the senate. Ruin these people, please. I honestly hope that the GOP does everything in their power to bring these evil people to justice. I for one will not tolerate ANY bi-partisanship. Rule mercilessly, and follow Cruz I say.
And the IRS is guilty of contempt of court for not releasing this info earlier, in order to protect politicians.
If Shaheen wins today, she needs to be recalled ASAP!
We need voter rolls in N.H. to contact all Dems and Indi’s who haven’t voted yet.
Have to disagree with this statement. Scott Brown ran for the US Senate Seat to succeed Ted Kennedy and the unelected Democrat placeholder, Paul Kirk, against Mass. Att.Gen. Martha Coakley(D). The shenanigans (appropriate for Mass.) surrounding this election and the 'all-hands-on-deck' effort for ObamaCare (PPACA) are worthy of recall to demonstrate the One-Party effort of ObamaCare.
First thing to note is that there was an ABSOLUTE REQUIREMENT to retain the 60 Senate Democrat Majority achieved in the 2008 election when Al Franken 'won' by 300+ votes. Yet in 2004, at the urging of Ted Kennedy HIMSELF, Mass. passed a law change FORBIDDING the sitting Governor from appointing a replacement Senator to a vacant seat. (Kerry being the Dem. Nominee and Romney being Governor!) Now, just 7 days before his death, Kennedy, recognizing that his death would leave a 59 Senate Democrat being insufficient to pass ObamaCare, wrote a letter requesting that that law that he so passionately was advocating in 2004 be reversed. Given that the Mass. State Government was under total Democrat Control, this was swiftly accommodated to emplace Paul Kirk as the vital #60.
By election law, the replacement election was required to be held within 145-160 days after vacancy and resulted in party primaries on 12/08/09 with the election on 01/19/10. A GOP suggestion of a compressed election to match the normal 2009 election day was rejected. After the primaries, Att.Gen. Coakley held a commanding 54-to-24% lead but by election day on Jan. 19th, Brown's win was presaged by polls closely matching his 52-to-47% margin. Strangely, with no dispute about the victory, it took the maximum legal time for the Democrat Sec.of State to certify Brown's election for hime to replace Sen.Kirk in the US Senate on Feb. 4th, 2010.
The results of this election can be seen in the rather chaotic completion of the ObamaCare Bill. No longer having the filibuster-proof 60 vote majority, the completion of the legislative passing of the PPACA bill relied upon the 'reconciliation' power that was not subject to filibuster as being outside normal rules-of-order. This left the final bill with a lot of House Democrat 'gifts' that under most circumstances would have been expected to be negotiated upon in the Senate. Interesting factoid is that the famous 40 million uninsured that President Obama claimed as justification for the bill? Even now, after 4 years, that number is about the same, unlike 'keep your doctor', 'keep your insurance' and other 'unexpected' changes.
Why would you say something like that? I'd expect such a 'misstatement' from a liberal. Are you a liberal or simply uninformed?
senators can’t be recalled in all states - only a few.

He was not allowed to vote.
He was elected senator from MA in a special election to fill dead Teddy’s seat, but the MA governor and legislature changed the rules so they could appoint a shill to sub for dead Teddy and vote FOR 0bolacare.
If Brown were allowed to take the vacant Senate seat immediately upon winning the special election, he would have voted AGAINST 0bolacare, and 0bolacare would NOT have passed.
On the good side of the news, Teddy hasn’t had a drink in almost 5 years.

This is actually old news, and Howie has mentioned it before. In fact, he mentioned it again yesterday while he was talking with Scott Brown.
I don’t know if the Union Leader ran the story though. Things have changed greatly for the worse at the Leader since the death of Bill Loeb.
If Brown were allowed to take the vacant Senate seat immediately upon winning the special election, he would have voted AGAINST 0bolacare, and 0bolacare would NOT have passed.
Thanks for the correction.
All that being said, Brown is pro-abortion, pro-gay-marriage, and squishy on the 2nd Amendment.
Even with all that baggage, he’s infinitely better than the collectivist-statist-fascist Shaheen.
>>Prison stripes for all. <<
ABOLISH THE IRS!
I think Senators can’t be recalled, period, as a function of the constitution.

That’s interesting, never thought about that. There has to be some mechanism to allow citizens to remove a sitting senator.
I will have to research this one. hmmm
Now we know for certain what’s in Lois’ *missing emails* :(
A Rat is a Rat is a Rat.
Yes, although Colorado had success in recalling state reps.
Nackie used to be a nut. But that was back when I was a granite state resident. Nackie was Bill....but she was angry.
I see you’ve been properly schooled on *truck driving lib* Brown’s NOT voting for 0bolaCare, by numerous FReepers.
You say we’re “in this together” yet you said this, upthread....
“Texas, time to secede. Most of the nation is changing chairs on a sinking ship....and do not want to FIGHT to keep it afloat.”

FRiend, NOW is the time for ALL good patriots to come to the aid of their ENTIRE country.
I pray Scott Brown wins, tonight, in NH. Also, he’s one of the few running on stopping 0bola’s EO amnesty.
New Jersey citizens tried to recall Menendez, and the NJ Supreme Court nixed the process.
