Former IRS Official Investigating Tea Partiers Scrutinized Groups Critical of Clinton Admin

Questions remain as to whether Steven T. Miller resigned from his position as acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service or if the Obama administration forced him out as a result of the controversy surrounding the agency's targeting of tea party and other conservative organizations. President Barack Obama called the IRS's actions “inexcusable." <

“Americans are right to be angry about it, and I’m angry about it,” Obama said, saying that he “will not tolerate this kind of behavior in any agency, but especially in the IRS, given the power that it has and the reach that it has.”

Miller is no stranger to accusations that he took part in probing conservative organizations' tax status. Miller, an IRS lawyer since 1987, investigated conservative organizations during the Clinton administration. The Washington D.C. based watch dog group Judicial Watch was one of many right of center groups that faced scrutiny by Miller's Services and Enforcement Division during the 1990's.

Clintonian parsing on Obama’s part. Of course he cannot/will not ‘tolerate’ it. How could being responsible for it be defined as mere tolerance?

Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit suggests offended parties might make use of Bivens actions. This makes the gov't offender personally liable for damages. From the link: I'd love to see these oliagenous weasels roll out their sgt. shultz acts before a jury.

“I agree. This is a Clinton operation from start to finish.”

Assuming you are right, I wonder if this IRS scandal is an effort to bring down Obamacare so that they have a platform to run on in 2016. Just thinking out loud :-).

Could it possibly be ... Clinton’s fault? Time to give Bush a break.

This is first and foremost a data mining operation on political opposition.

Maxine Waters made a comment in February about Obama putting together a database on people for 2016.

This is Hillary’s opposition database on people for her 2016 run.

I don’t think you can separate Obama and Hillary in this .

O goes down so will Big Butt.

The Clintons had a similar data mining operation in the 90’s set up for Hillary to run in 2004 against Bush. The Clinton’s called it their 20 year plan. Bill Clinton would be president for 8 years, there would be 4 years of a republican president, then Hillary would be president for 8 years.

The Clinton’s also left a shadow govt in place to create all kinds of trouble for Bush to make it easier for Hillary to run against him.

I think the same thing was going on here.

I don’t believe Obama was supposed to be reelected until the attack in Libya made it necessary for him to be reelected to orchestrate the cover up.

It would be a lot easier for Hillary to get elected running against Romney in 2016 than it is going to be for her to get elected with the promise of continuing the Obama presidency.

The 'vast right wing conspiracy' was the father of this mess today - and that was a Clinton operation. But not Hillary. She was almost breathless in her outing of that - which tells me she didn't think it up. Also she tipped it waaaay too early. What was secret and dangerous became the laughing stock of the Internet. We were blessed by her blunder.

If Obama's NOT in on this he needs to appoint a special prosecutor and get to the bottom of it. That could save his Presidency and root out the evil that's sickening the country. Someones trying to turn the United States into a third world hellhole - and we'd all like to know who or what group that is...

An aside - do you think Petraeus has been compromised? IF so, by who?

I believe Hillary created the “spontaneous” lie with no intention of anyone believing it.

It is so ridiculous, no one above the level of idiot would believe it. Someone obviously planned the attack and Hillary intended to blame it on someone.

I believe the attack was an attempt by Hillary to blame Romney and the republicans with collaborating with the terrorist to make Obama look like Jimmy Carter that an embassy was attacked and an Ambassador taken hostage.

Petraeus was probably going to be a fall guy to make the claim “Bush” was involved with collaborating with terrorist. It would have been a continuation of the “Truthers” Hillary started after the 1st 9/11.
