Emails show Lois Lerner deliberately sought to evade oversight (insidious oligarch)

Just for the record, let me repeat that people like former IRS Tax Exempt Organizations director Lois Lerner should be in police custody, and the IRS’ computer equipment should have been seized long ago. Barack Obama’s spin that it’s all a “phony scandal” is a million years out of date. It’s not even a story about mere “malfeasance” by renegade officials. The IRS scandal is a criminal conspiracy. The lack of a proper criminal investigation makes this Administration no different than a banana-republic junta.

If all the other evidence isn’t enough to convince you, now we’ve got a new trove of emails showing Lerner deliberately seeking to avoid congressional oversight. She cautions her henchpersons to avoid saying anything provocative in emails that might be reviewed by Congress, and asks if the instant-messaging system used by the IRS creates backup archives that Congress might review. When she’s told the IM system creates no such incriminating archives, she replies, “Perfect.”

This conversation occurred just days after the IRS Inspector General report documented the targeting of conservative groups. It’s the kind of conversation Tony Soprano would have with his goombahs, not the language of high government officials with due respect for the rule of law. (It’s one of the craziest aspects of Democrat spin that they keep trying to pretend there is some question about this, and maybe progressive groups got targeted too. This whole story began with Lerner admitting that conservative groups were improperly targeted, because she knew that’s what the Inspector General’s report would say.)

Extracting taxes is a criminal enterprise.

In a just world, she would have already been indicted along with Obama.

This woman should be in jail. Congress on its own can arrest and jail Lois Lerner until she testifies on IRS scandal

I suggest people read the whole article including the bit at the end about Mark Steyn and donor lists. IMHO this is the most significant scandal in our nation’s history. The fact that it has drawn a collective yawn from the media is a sign that we are a lot farther down the road to totalitarianism than one might otherwise suspect.
