John Boehner's Dog and Pony Show
Mark America ^ | June 21, 2014 | Mark America

On Friday, the Republican leadership in the House of Representatives continued its wholly political, and ultimately theatrical investigation of the IRS Tea Party-targeting scandal. Chairman Dave Camp's(R-MI) committee brought current IRS Commissioner John Koskinen before the committee to testify as to the loss of Lois Lerner's emails, among other misdeeds. You may argue that Paul Ryan(R-WI) was very aggressive in his examination of the witness, but that entire exchange was mere political theater that will evince nothing at the end of the investigation

(snip)

The problem may be that to uncover Lois Lerner's email would reveal something no Representative in that committee hearing room wants you to know: Lerner may have been receiving emails from both sides of the aisle on Capitol Hill urging audits and investigations into Tea Party groups.

If the GOP at any level asked the IRS to go after the Tea Party?

Obama himself would be screaming about that “evidence” every day and every night!

No, actually, it is not.
This is tin foil hat stuff.
Any Republican that might have been in on this would have been outed by now.

Interesting yes...but also pretty stupid.

Never underestimate the duplicity of the average politician. If the Repubs were involved, it might help explain the absolutely clear bald-faced-lies with the in-your-face-because you can't touch me attitude of the IRS and WH.

Why seek tax exempt status just to organize and address ills? Why cannot the citizens do what True the Vote does without asking permission from DC?

Unless their names were John Boehner, Peter King, Lindsay Graham or John McCain.
