Pardon my ignorance, but why are federal employees getting bonuses? It isn’t like they create wealth or income.
The house could shut down the IRS over this if they wanted to. Cut the funding and shut down the government! But, no. They’d rather cut SS disability, pay bonuses to those at the VA who screw the veterans, allow the democrats to steal elections through voter fraud, etc, etc, etc.
Everyday they do something else to prove me right to never vote for them again. And I won’t. This country’s only hope is to get rid of the republican party. As of now all the Gop does is support the democrats. If we don’t get rid of them we have a one party system.
And they say crime doesn’t pay.....
Why should any government bureaucrat receive a bonus especially Lehrner? Lehrner should be serving time in a federal prison
At the functionary (commissar) level. This is how dictatorships begin to solidify.

Makes me SICK. Have called and called my reps. YOU are so correct. Good Americans go by the wayside, while the freeloading SSDI, welfare, Medicaid, Foodstamps, NEVER EVER have a shortage of money, but the VA, the Veterans, the Military pay is cut, etc. So disgusted with the GOPe, Mitch the caver, Bonehead the drunk and all who voted for him. Called my rep after he voted for Bonehead and told him “I AM DONE SUPPORTING YOU!” his dumb young fellow office guy was stunned! He claimed his voting record was stellar. I said “guess not, when you voted for Bonehead after I made many phone calls to all your offices, begging you to vote against him”. Told him he’s a fossil, and a drunk. Why keep him.
No chin Mitch - I think they’re blackmailing him just like Roberts on the court.
sigh. Keep the faith and keep up the fight. Never, ever, give in or give up.
BTW........ everyone PLEASE donate to FR. Just do it now. That’s all. :)
Congress WANTS to be thought of as impotent so that they can never be blamed for any wrongdoing.
It’s good to be an oligarch.
“Tyranny is being REWARDED.

Germany - late thirties. History does repeat itself.
She's got plenty stashed in offshore banks.
When he went to jail, investigators found Ponzi King Bernie Madoff had stashed billions offshore---into a labyrinth of financial entities. Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called feeder funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America......a labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers.
=====================================
New revelations say Lerner illegally took possession of conservative groups' donor lists----and distributed the donor names to other IRS functionaries.
The donors were then targeted for audits at an accelerated rate. Possession and distribution of IRS documents to unauthorized parties is a serious crime.
The RNC-connected "Freedom Path" claims in a lawsuit that the IRS illegally released its application to ProPublica, a New York-based investigative news organization.
F/P claims that ProPublica published the information with an article "suggesting that plaintiff (F/P) had engaged in illegal activities and/or misstated its activities on tax documents."
The article was reposted on other media outlets, including The Washington Post and The Salt Lake Tribune, the complaint states.
All of the above are potential defendants. Possession and distribution of IRS documents to unauthorized parties

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has vowed to "dig deeper" into the IRS targeting scandal now that Republicans have subpoena power in the Senate.
