Republican congress is afraid to death of offending anyone who was appointed by Bambi. He’s black you know?

Right! His half-white side is ignored.

[[Exactly! Evil Obama and his minions stole this election through lies, corruption, and orchestrated attacks against those aligned with his opposition. WORST PRESIDENT EVER!]]

And having young programmers enter lines of code into the electronic voting machines that changed votes.

There is no way that the tons of people voted to send “conservatives” to congress also voted for Obama.

They have no plans to give up power and they will cheat again to get Hitlery in the White House .

I’m sure many freepers have similar stories to mine.

The woman who organized our local tea party was so enthusiastic and full of energy. We attended the first and about five more rallies. Suddenly we got an email saying that due to circumstances in her life she could no longer be the leader of our tea party organization. Chilling to look back on.

It isn't in the electoral interest of members of congress to impeach high criminals. Obama’s pigmentation immunity extends to his lieutenants.

After a lifetime of voting in every election, I'll be sitting out the congressional portion this coming November.

A local Tea Party group here in the Houston area..Kingwood Patriots, Kathy Englebreck (not sure the spelling) was harassed by multiple agencies, not simply the IRS.

She began an organization called, True the Vote. The IRS was sicked on them. Her and her husbands business came under scrutiny by the IRS as well as OSHA, BATF and I believe the EPA.

The Obozo administration tasked these agencies to shut down conservative voices. The IRS was used as a weapon to alter the outcome of an American election. Highly illegal acts took place all over the country.

Where in sam hell is congress on this? Those smug SOB’s Lois Lerner and that Koskin (whatever his name) ought to have been fired and or brought up on charges.

Folks..we gotta start thinking outta the box here. Our gubbamint is becoming more and more corrupt each day.

The first order of business for Trump is to indict and arrest Lerner and Koskinen for sedition. Make it very public and very noisy. Splash the sedition trial all over DC to warn the federal fascist bureaucracy that this waits for you - indictment, trial, million dollar fines, prison and loss of all benefits, including paychecks and pensions.

And nothing has been done to this wretch because?

Because we allowed it.

We should have been surrounding their buildings and daring them to come out long ago.

“And nothing has been done to this wretch because?”

...she’s a member of the revolution, as in “fundamentally transform”.

IMHO

Lois Lerner abused IRS powers to attack political dissent. She should be in prison for the rest of her sorry life.

She is fundamentally an enemy of democracy and of our Constitution.

Lerner-led IRS investigation didn’t deter West Suburban Patriots

WASHINGTON - Thursday, the legal group Liberty Counsel released FBI investigation findings that the IRS - while being led by the former IRS Chairman Lois Lerner - began intensifying their efforts against conservative groups with a Tea Party or Patriot connection in 2011. That meant that when a question was planted from the audience at a 2013 conference, the IRS’ strategy to discourage the Tea Party movement had been in place for two years.

West Suburban Patriots was among several Illinois groups that began getting questions from the IRS as early as 2011, and despite the increased attention, the group’s founder and coordinator Carol Davis wanted to correct any misperceptions. Their group did not withdraw their application for 501c4 status.

They did not back down from the IRS when the queries started. In fact, they pushed back.

“We are eight years old now and we are a thriving and growing group, and an officially-recognized 501c4,” Davis wrote.

Indeed, West Suburban Patriots is recognized as one of the largest Tea Party groups in the nation.

“When the Lerner-led inquisition letters started coming in 2011, we soon realized that many other groups around the country were also being targeted as we were. Some groups yielded to the government oppression, but we decided to push back because there were so many of us,” she wrote.

And in her typical inspirational, feisty and unintimidated manner, Carol Davis made this point:

“Yes, standing up to a bloated, out-of-control oppressive government is difficult, but it was the right thing to do! ALWAYS PUSH BACK! DO NOT GO QUIETLY,” she said. “We are now actively and vocally advocating for the impeachment of IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, who lied and destroyed evidence.”
