My point is we need an independent prosecutor.

seems you’d rather have the administration investigate itself . typical

[Democrat_media]

Have you heard of “Good cop bad cop”. the news media are trying to hide IRS scandal and big brother Amnesty bill with their AP phone tapping fake “outrage” . This AP scandal coming out at the same time the IRS scandal is coincidence? if you believe that i have swamp land to sell you.

count on it.

Right, Palin isn’t an Attorney.

She can run the Firing Squad though.

Pointing out to you that the Independent Counsel law has expired, and that Congress no longer has the authority to appoint one is not a statement in favor of the Aministration investigating itself. “Typical,” indeed.

[Verginius Rufus]

Last week three whistleblowers testified before Congress. The eyewitnesses who survived in Benghazi still haven't come forward because of the retaliation they would face.

The AP story is about stopping whistleblowers--sources will be unwilling to tell reporters what they know if the government will be able to find out who they are. Even if someone gets a slap on the wrist over this, the effect will remain as long as Obama is President. It's a way of deterring leaks to the media of anything the administration doesn't want the public to know about.

They (House) do have the authority to appoint a Select Committee that does have supena power and funds for investigations.

[1rudeboy]

I get that . . . but not a “special” prosecutor.

[GOPJ]

Bob Woodward complained in February about heavy handed administration treatment after Woodward reported that Obama was untruthful ...

Woodward has more backbone than 90% of the press put together...

[Democrat_media]

My point is that we need to have independent investigation and prosecution that is independent of the administration (whatever means to get there).otherwise the Obama administration will be investigating itself. seems you want the administration to investigate itself. Here Republican Governors calling for special prosecutor but I guess you will say you know they have no right to do that too? stop hijacking this thread with your what the “definition of is is” spam posting

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two Republican governors are urging President Barack Obama to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the Internal Revenue Service's admission that it targeted conservative political groups.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker call the allegations “Big Brother come to life.”

They want a special prosecutor to find out if any laws were broken and say Obama should fire any IRS employees responsible for the situation.

The IRS has apologized for what it calls “inappropriate” targeting of conservative political groups. The agency targeted groups during the 2010 congressional elections and the 2012 presidential election.

Jindal is the chairman of the Republican Governors Association and Walker is the group's vice chairman. Both are potential presidential candidates in 2016.

Umm . . . your article states:

Two Republican governors are urging President Barack Obama to appoint a special prosecutor . . . . [emphasis added]

Your assertion just defeated itself. Care to try again?

[Democrat_media]

Yes that makes sense

but also the timing, AP scandal at the same time IRS scandal and Amnesty bill? you think it’s a coincidence? I think not

In an attempt to invalidate my original post you said special prosecutor was not possible

the article not “ mine” showed what you said was false. so you've been posting how many posts arguing about what syntax, the meaning of a word, the meaning of a phrase , what next spelling , what else, you'll never stop until you hijack a thread.

[1rudeboy]

Please detail where the following statement is incorrect:

Pointing out to you that the Independent Counsel law has expired, and that Congress no longer has the authority to appoint one is not a statement in favor of the Administration investigating itself.

Read it again, and mouth out the words if you must.

Gosh, you are thick. In your article, who has the authority to appoint the special prosecutor?

[verga]

What? The first liar never has a chance.

They are both lawyers. BHO was head of Harvard Law and but voluntarily surrendered his license. Mrs. BHO was legal counsel at some hospital in Chicago.

Nobody's saying they are a good lawyers...I wouldn't hire either to chase an ambulance, just that they are, in fact, lawyers.

Both of them had to surrender their Law licenses.

[Democrat_media]

They are calling for a special prosecutor . that was my original post. I didn’t post anything you are saying I posted in my original post. you said that was not possible or that my post was wrong. this proves you are the one who is wrong:

[1rudeboy]

I just found it odd that you would jump to the conclusion that I want the Administration to investigate itself, when Jindal and Walker are asking it to do so.

I'd try to explain the difference between "wrong," and "correct," but you would call it spam.

[Democrat_media]

No I mean the neither the justice dept nor any federal prosecutor should investigate this as they work under Obama

i called for a special prosecutor

you said that was not possible
