The IRS’s Ongoing War against Tea Party Groups
Canada Free Press ^ | 10/28/15 | Matthew Vadum

Despite impeachment proceedings, the Left still eyes new frontiers of political harassment

President Obama’s IRS is still holding nonprofit applications from conservative and Tea Party groups hostage even now, years after the IRS targeting scandal first made headlines.

It is yet more proof that even after years of bad press arising from the sordid saga, the Internal Revenue Service remains a powerful instrument of political repression in the hands of Obama, who apparently treats the agency as his personal fiefdom. Always on the hunt for new ways to disadvantage his political adversaries, Obama is also now moving forward with a fresh campaign of political intimidation against nonprofit groups that strikes at the heart of the American democratic process.

Yeah, got it. My comments still stand. Congress isn’t interested in impeaching anyone, just playing political theater for the great unwashed.

I cannot disagree. I was only trying to point out something I thought you may not have known about.
