GOP Rep. Mike Kelly was a huge hit at Friday’s House hearing on IRS harassment of conservative groups as he skewered acting IRS commissioner Steven Miller.

Some tasty highlights from his fiery rant:

Rep Kelly to Miller: You think this is uncomfortable? Try being a citizen being targeted by the IRS.

Kelly: "This confirms that the #IRS can do anything they want, anytime they want, to anyone they want. "

"Where you're sitting, you should be outraged, but you're not." Rep, Kelly to Miller #IRS #Waysandmeanscommittee

"Is there any limit to the scope as to where you folks can go? … It's sure as hell intimidating." - Rep Kelly #IRS

It’s all good...in their snarky arrogant contempt the IRS apparatchiks display just who they really are.

This is the Charlie Sheen definition of “winning”!

Gee that was swell, but have we forgotten Fast and Furious? Benghazi?

Obama has a lot of balls in the air here.
We have to start knocking them out of the park.

No just some glad handing, but in a way that sticks.

I’ve fired off emails to Senators Shelby, Sessions and my Congressman Mo Brooks. I hope millions of others across the nation do the same.

Once one of these people are threatened with true and real jailtime, they’ll sing like canaries.

This is the crux of it. It's easy to convince a few low level employees coming up on retiring to take the fall when they believe all it will entail is a chewing out with a wink and a nod.

Put some meat behind this, jail time and loss of pension and watch them start lining up to testify.

You all realize that it was this guy’s job to get yelled at on a Friday when nobody will see the reports on Saturday.. and he will most likely land at some firm like MF global or Fannie Mae as payment, right?

People like Kelly standing up and doing what he dis rather than cowering in a corner are proof positive I never have been wrong and NEVER WILL BE WRONG about this.

About time you get over it.

From the 4:00 mark watch the little “oh shit” mouth movement from this little IRS worm at 4:12. Very telling. This IRS worm KNOWS this is gonna end up as the shit-storm it should.

Kelly, Dude, you are the MAN!!!!!!

I know. I’ve heard it and read it more than once this a.m. . . . don’t the GOP need to fear they might overreach on this? They are already spinning and trying to intimidate them and knowing them they will tuck their tails and run.

Have forgotten nothing. All these abuses add up to impeachment or forced resignation. Pour it on, on all fronts!!

100%.
That level of harassment can happen from any government body.
The only right we truly have is the right to be ruled as those in power see fit.

hollow point .40 cal, but I get your point.

They’re gearing up to put down revolt, so they know they’re going to do something dastardly to cause a revolt.

Lake, If you want to tell me to GFY, have the guts to do it on thread and not freepmail.

Be happy that a purist with principles stood up in Congress for a change.

It’s not often you hear spontaneous applause burst from the galley at a Congressional hearing. Worth watching...

This was great....but we need to get that RAT bastard commie muzlim pig-in-chief 0dumb0 on the witness stand and grill that traiter till he confesses the truth. It appears that Steve Miller has agreed to be the fall guy for 0dumbo, and once again 0dumb0 will get off scott free. There's a hundred things or more that 0dumb0 has broken the law or violated the constitution, but the RAT bastard just shrugs it all off, and skates away scott free. He's the one that needs to be serving life without parole in the federal penitentiary.
