Clinton Adviser Lanny Davis: Time for Independent Counsel to Investigate IRS Scandal
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | June 27, 2014 | Larry O'Connor

Posted on 06/27/2014 6:38:51 AM PDT by don-o

A former White House counsel during the Clinton administration said Thursday that it’s time for an independent counsel to look into the growing IRS email scandal.

Lanny Davis, a close adviser to Hillary Clinton and a frequent defender of the Obama Administration, appeared on my morning talk show in Washington, D.C., on WMAL. I asked him to comment on the latest hearings on the lost IRS emails conducted earlier this week in Congress:

If this were a Republican administration I’d be saying when hard drives have been obliterated and this recent Lois Lerner—I think very inappropriate, maybe innocent but completely inappropriate—’maybe we should look at Mr. Grassley’ uh … there’s no Democrat that I know of that wouldn’t be asking a Republican administration to conduct an independent investigation.

The filthiest Republican is clean next to the average corrupt liar that IS what Democrats have become.

Wishing it were so, doesn't make it so. We absolutely could have defunded ObamaCare but didn't, care to posit why?

The parallels to Nixon in 1974 are uncanny. Mid-term route is pending. I expect a committee of Dems to make Barry an offer he can’t refuse before too long. He is a puppet, after all. He will get a new script reading himself off the stage. I also, of course, believe that Arpaio’s impending reveal is percolating in the background and ready to boil over.

The MSM including the late-night comedians are looking at the polling of their audiences showing they are turning against Barry (except the blacks, of course) and audiences are demanding anti-Barry news updates and anti-Barry jokes and now even anti-Hillary jokes! The liberal agenda is in danger if this clown isn’t removed from the White Hut and the rehabilitation of the Dem party attempted first before the Senate is lost in 2014 and then before Hillary loses in 2016.

Lanny Davis doesn't wipe his butt without permission from Billary.

This is the opening salvo in the long-awaited civil war between House Clinton and House anti-Christ.

Obviously, Hitlary has no fear of implication in the IRS felonies, and if the fading embers of this scandal can be fanned into a major conflagration that at least badly damages the anti-Christ, and possibly even destroys him, then the way will be a little clearer for her to ascend the throne and the Clintons to take back unchallenged control of the dammocrap organized crime syndicate.

It has the further advantage of blotting out Benghazi. If the anti-Christ is consumed by an IRS scandal, no one is going to pay attention to what was done or not done thousands of miles away in the hellhole of Libys.

With the economy potentially heading south for a while, with Afghanistan being retaken by the Taliban, with Iraq and Syria in flames, with Russia ascendent and the US on the run, all the tinder is prepared to light the fire that ruins what is left of the anti-Christ’s presidency. A special prosecutor for the IRS felonies could easily light that fire.

Remember that what saved Clinton from the Monica scandal was that the economy seemed good at the time, very, very good. I remember the assholes in our country saying, we care about the DOW Jones, not PAULA Jones. A good economy covers a multitude of impeachable offenses.

But a faltering economy, not so much.

The irony is that every evidence suggests that the economic coup de grace that is pushing us from weak “growth” into formal recession is the implementation of DeathCare. LOL.

If I believed in karma...

See I believe there are powers in force here that we quite don’t understand. Part of why he is a narcissist is that he has been groomed for this job, “Leader of The World” from the early ‘80’s. These “groomers” intent is to destroy us from within. They are very close to their goal. I think that the investment of time and treasure that has gone into this plan is huge and “they” are not going to see it go up in smoke easily.

I could be wrong, (I pray I’m wrong), but somehow I see something ahead happening to prevent Zippo’s departure and further damage to the US.

I share your concern.

My greatest worry is that the people behind Obama, finding him an increasing liability, might think to turn him into an asset -- by making him a martyr.

A martyred Obama might contribute to the election of the Vice-President, Joe Biden, who can obviously be controlled. And a Biden administration may be sufficient to finish the job.

Since it was taxpayer money that settled that case, no “sting” is actually felt by the actual perps. They laugh it off....

Instead - some people at IRS need to experience HARD TIME in JAIL!!!!!! That’s the only incentive that would CHANGE things.

Grrr

The "they" involved need to be targeted for "accidents" or made to disappear.

Lanny’s definitely a Dem hack, but he frequently marches to his own drummer. More than any other I can think of. He’s got a modicum of honesty. Only a modicum, but more than most.
