They don’t care. The irs will suffer a brief sting and then go back to what they do best: destroying private enterprise, seizing money from producers, redistributing money to democrat voters, hounding and harassing innocent individuals to create an atmosphere of fear.
that’s what my wife and I thought when his rant was over. geez, where where these guys last year?
I think we could generate some buzz re this on FR...
Seems like the louder the outrage the less likely that anyone in management will pay a real price. In WDC, being berated is a satisfactory substitute for arrest & conviction. Ask Charlie Rangel.
Until I see high level officials wearing handcuffs this all remains absurd theater to me.
Absurd? Because “regular” people would have already been arrested by now, their homes & businesses ransacked, their assets frozen, their file & records seized. Seen or heard of any search warrants being issued? Any offices being searched? Nope! By the time this happens, if ever, the perps will be surgery clean. The high capacity shredders are running 24/7.
Who believes Eric Holder will even investigate this criminality, much less issue any arrest warrants?
Congress can investigate forever, but they have no power to arrest the guilty, not even to fire them. Impeachment is an impossibility based on partisan politics. So, the Executive branch of gov’t is free to do as it pleases, despite any laws to the contrary. That Holder is still AG is testament to this fact.
Let them know that there will be accountability and PUNISHMENT. Has anyone in Congress said Crimes have been made and those found guilty will be punished. Have they said to these people that their job, salary, benefits, and retirement will be pulled and that if a felony is committed that a long prison term is in their future. No, Congress just points their finger at them and says, Bad dog... Bad,bad,bad. Again, no one has been fired. They just get a different job making more money and more power.
All this is, is an act. Nothing is going to change.
Good for him!
How sick is it that Americans have "faith and trust in their government" in the first place. Anyway, what does the Democrat party base of moochers, bums, deadbeats, and parasites care about IRS abuses? They don't care about the IRS even if they've heard of it. Those scum are more likely to cheer on the IRS.
I agree. Blah blah blah.
Ping me when people start going to real jail.
That’s the beauty of this: The Rats already made it about “politics.”
Thanks for your reply and please accept my apology for not responding earlier.
I agree there needs to be accountability and punishment but my question is what can the individual Congressman do about it. Under our system no congressman nor congress as a whole has authority to exact punishment of any kind on any career executive branch employee. They are doing the only thing they can do and that is bring the misconduct to light and try to generate sufficient public pressure to force the president and justice department to do their job.
Speaker Boehner and others have spoken about people going to jail but for the most part they were ridiculed on these forums. Rather than being pilloried for not doing what they have no authority to do, these congressmen need to be encouraged and supported for doing what they can.
