under oath?
With all the Obama scandals emerging, Congress is going to be busy.
Marco Rubio: IRS Commissioner Should Resign
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) called on the IRS commissioner to resign on Monday, following the agency’s admission that it targeted conservative political groups during the 2012 election cycle.
“[I]t is clear the IRS cannot operate with even a shred of the American people’s confidence under the current leadership,” Rubio said in a letter to Treasury Secretary Jack Lew. “I strongly urge that you and President Obama demand the IRS Commissioner’s resignation, effectively immediately. No government agency that has behaved in such a manner can possibly instill any faith and respect from the American public.”
Rubio spokesman Alex Conant told The Huffington Post that the letter refers to acting IRS commissioner Steven T. Miller, who served as deputy commissioner for services and enforcement when the targeting occurred. A replacement for former commissioner and Bush appointee Douglas H. Shulman has not been nominated. Shulman’s term expired in mid-November.
UPDATE: 3:25 p.m. — Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) also called on Miller to resign amid the controversy, telling National Review Monday that President Obama should also take some responsibility.
“Believe me, if this was a Republican administration doing all this, the New York Times and Washington Post would be in absolute meltdown,” McConnell said. “They all take their cues from the tone expressed by the president, and he’s made it clear that this administration is perfectly willing to crack down on critics.”

yes, make sure the bastard is under oath so any perjury will nail him when asked about Zero’s involvement.
So Impeach Obama.
But in all this don't forget that Congress is trying to sneak pass a country destroying , 800 page, Amnesty bill that will eventually let in 100 million 3rd world immigrants( relatives of the Amnestied )
I think all testimony to Congress is considered under oath since it is illegal to lie to Congress. That said, no one has IIRC ever been convicted of lying to Congress.

EXACTLY.
Current IRS commissioner took lead in assuring Congress that Tea Party scrutiny was legitimate
WASHINGTON — When members of Congress repeatedly raised concerns with the Internal Revenue Service about complaints that Tea Party groups were being harassed last year, a deputy IRS commissioner took the lead in assuring lawmakers that the additional scrutiny was a legitimate part of the screening process.
That deputy commissioner was Steven T. Miller, who is now the acting head of the agency.
In several letters to members of Congress, Miller went into painstaking detail about how applications for tax-exempt status were screened. But he never mentioned that conservative groups were being targeted, a fact that was known to people he oversaw, according to an upcoming report by the agency’s inspector general.
In one 10-page response, Miller said a revenue agent uses “sound reasoning based on tax law training” to determine which applications for tax-exempt status need additional scrutiny.
“We are going to need to find out how much he knew,” said Rep. Dave Camp, R- Mich., chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. Camp is holding a hearing on the issue Friday and Miller is scheduled to testify.
I don’t want the commissioner to resign.
I want him to fire every single person that either participated in this, or knew about it and didn’t object.
Then, he can resign.
None of the responses they received from the IRS acknowledged that conservative groups had ever been targeted.
“They really failed to disclose to us what they were up to, even though we obviously had a concern that they were targeting taxpayers for their political beliefs,” Camp said. “Given all of that attention, they had an obligation and duty to come forward with this information.”
hussein “unfamiliar” with this.
I wouldn’t believe anything some murderous islamist bastard might say. Especially him.
My thought too! It’s amazing the way all of these scandals have blossomed at once. I really think that once the Benghazi whistle blowers had the courage to come forward, other people started getting their nerve up to do the same.
Thanks.
