Full Title:FLASHBACK: Obama Said “Not a Smidgen of Corruption” in IRS Scandal – Now We Know Over 400 Conservative Groups Targeted

Remember this?

In February 2014 Barack Obama told Bill O’Reilly that there was “not even a smidgen of corruption” in the IRS scandal.

This weekend the IRS finally admitted it targeted over 400 conservative groups for intrusive scrutiny.

The Washington Times reported:

The government released names of 426 organizations. Another 40 were not released as part of the list because they had already opted out of being part of the class-action suit.

That total is much higher than the 298 groups the IRS‘ inspector general identified back in May 2013, when investigators first revealed the agency had been subjecting applications to long — potentially illegal — delays, and forcing them to answer intrusive questions about their activities. Tea party and conservative groups said they was the target of unusually heavy investigations and longer delays…

All the liberals have to do is lie long enough to get them through the initial news cycle. Then once the lie is revealed, its “old news” and the public has gotten used to the idea. If it all came out at once, he would have been impeached. But it didn’t and he slid by. Hillary is doing the same thing with the emails. Lie, let it come out slowly and the public won’t be shocked by it.

At the rate this is going...what exactly will be the pay-out to the groups if this goes to conclusion and the judge agrees? I’ve never heard anyone chat on the money involved.

Obama didn’t think he was lying. He didn’t consider the behavior corruption; he considered it self-defense! As do all tyrant wannabes.

Best case scenario would be for the class-action suit to pick-up steam this fall before the election.

Even then, *crickets* and a blackout will come from the mainstream media.

Probably the only reason they released it at all was because it was leaked somewhere and they knew it would get out.

I believe Billery's IRS audit hit list was much larger; they constantly targeted possible witnesses or victims liberal or conservative, as well as conservative enemies and almost every Christian broadcaster on radio and TV. It was bandied about that Hillary's good friend was the IRS executive who did the dirty work.

bammy is corrupt, and he ordered the irs to use its full coercive force against his enemies. He is corrupt, and those in the irs who obeyed him need to be in jail.

They could just copy one of the articles in Nixon’s impeachment verbatim and use it for Obama; but of course no one has the guts to impeach Obama.

His IRS minions were all too pleased to help Obama destroy his opponents chances in an election. So many laws were broken here but what’s even more broken is the public’s trust in govt.

To quote Congressman Joe Wilson, “You lie!”

That would be the most polite thing that could be said about this mendacious poseur.
