Here’ the problem as I see it ... Obama is getting away with it BECAUSE HE CAN.

Congress, with all the powers given to it by law and the constitution, REFUSES TO WIELD IT.

Why do I say that? Just look at Eric Holder as Exhibit number 1.

He has been held in contempt by Congress. Where’s the punishment? He’s still Attorney General and doing Obama’s bidding.

Any Congress worth its salt would have put Holder in jail by by now.

No wonder Lois Lerner and the IRS are doing what they’re doing. They’re giving Congress and the American people the MIDDLE FINGER because Congress refuses to punish anyone.

This is pretty much how Lois Lerner has conducted herself throughout the investigation of the IRS scandal.

As with any other COVER-UP, this one has rapidly begun to get out of hand. What next, Arkanicide?

Conspiracies are damn hard to keep secret and control all the evidence with so many involved. Inevitably, someone will let this cat out of the bag and the WhiteyHut will fall down like Humpty Dumpty.

RE: As with any other COVER-UP, this one has rapidly begun to get out of hand.

First things first — Congress has already held Eric Holder in Contempt. ARREST HIM AND PUT HIM IN JAIL.

That will at least start to put the fear of God on Lois Lerner and the rest of the IRS thugs.

As it stands now, people are arrogantly trying to get away with it because they think there is no consequence other than Congress scolding you.

It is way past time to dump Holder. All these scandals and law violations and nada from the DoJ.

Holder should have been dumped when he cancelled the investigation of Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson, an Obama supporter, in 2009. Then he pressured the investigator to leave.

Imagine any business being audited by the IRS saying too bad their business records were lost by a hard drive crash, they had no back up and gee someone destroyed the hard drive. Those business executives would be in federal court tried with obstructing justice and the IRS would be shutting down their business. That the IRS could get a pass from the MSM with such a lame excuse is deplorable.

Has Congress ever put anyone in jail.

They have the power of oversight. Do they have the power to indict?

What next, Arkanicide?

Usually, a convenient fire is the next step; one that wipes out printed records.

Although not through fire, here is a recent history of "lost" records by Democrats.

Records of Christine O’Donnell tax snooping disappear


Delaware state officials have told Congress that they likely destroyed the computer records that would show when and how often they accessed Christine O'Donnell’s personal tax records and acknowledged that a newspaper article was used as the sole justification for snooping into the former GOP Senate candidate’s tax history.

Whistleblower: Phoenix VA Hospital Destroying Evidence


Whistleblowers say officials have been destroying evidence at the Phoenix Veterans Affairs hospital where at least 40 patients died from delays, despite requests from Congress to preserve records.

Dr. Katherine Mitchell came forward to the Arizona Republic with records that show the hospital was using a secret list to hide the long wait times veterans faced. According to the Republic, Mitchell sent the documents to the paper after receiving a call from a coworker that evidence was being destroyed.


Al Gore's Emails: Smoking gun in the e-mail? Stash, bigger than thought, includes messages from DNC


A stash of unrecorded West Wing e-mail totals close to 1 million, not the 100,000 first reported, and includes messages from the Democratic National Committee during the 1996 Clinton-Gore campaign, WorldNetDaily has learned.

The Justice Department’s campaign-finance task force has yet to see the trove of e-mail. The unit, which is under Attorney General Janet Reno’s direction, has so far charged 24 people in its three-year criminal probe — all of them donors and, remarkably, none of them DNC or White House officials.

The White House has told Congress it can’t possibly know for at least another six months the content or the volume of the unarchived e-mail until it’s loaded off of 3,400 emergency computer back-up tapes and searched by private contractors.

But a former White House computer manager tells WorldNetDaily that the number of e-mails is at least 10 times the estimate of 100,000 bandied about in the press. The ex-official says they include a steady flow of messages coming into the West Wing from Democratic National Committee officials.

The need to do something to combat these criminals is overwhelming.

They need to take the top 5 levels of IRS leadership into custody on charges of destroying evidence and put them under hot lamps with an offer of clemency provided they are the first to squeal...
