The growing IRS-Tea Party scandal, which has robbed Democrats of the so-called "trust edge" they held over Republicans, is now jeopardizing the Democratic majority in the Senate and even hopes that Hillary Clinton will replace President Obama in 2016.
"This hurts the Democratic Party and will hurt anybody who runs for president in 2016," said former Clinton White House counsel Lanny Davis, a major supporter of Hillary Clinton. Speaking on national radio's Andrea Tantaros Show, he added: "It will make it almost impossible to elect a [Democratic] president. ... I'm nervous."
Meanwhile, several Democratic and GOP political advisers told Secrets that the combined scandals IRS, Benghazi and the media source hunt threatens the Democrats' grip on the Senate. House advisers are even predicting that Republicans will pick up nearly 10 seats if the scandals continue to eat away at trust in the Democratic Party.
Davis, who is out with a new book on how to deal with scandals, "Crisis Tales: Five Rules for Coping with Crises in Business, Politics, and Life," slammed the Obama communications and legal offices, suggesting that the president's top lawyer is in over her head and should resign. He also criticized White House spokesman Jay Carney's jumbled handling of the IRS scandal.
Davis, who handled Clinton scandal issues, dismissed some polls showing that Obama has maintained a level approval rating. "This is going to eat away at his approval ratings," he said....

Pissing match within the old corrupt Clinton team. He’s signaling he wants money to get in gear this cycle.
Lanny Davis.
Now there’s a statesman.
You can see the ad-theme....phone call at 2AM...no one answers...dead ambassador. There will be forty variations of this.
Sadly, Hillary should have left the administration back in the summer of 2012, and helped with election campaign speeches for guys running for congress or as governor. She would be in a five-star position today...if she’d left earlier. Now? I think this is a wide-open race for ten different guys.
Don’t forget this IRS scandal was deliberately leaked by a planted question at a conference, presumably to air it before the report came out so it could be dismissed as old news but also to provide noise to distract from Benghazi.
Makes you wonder what’s really the story there.
I think Benghazi is far more of a direct threat to her political aspirations. So far I haven’t heard anything tying her to the IRS or AP phone records or EPA scandals. However, she is in Benghazi up to her neck. Sure, all the scandals hurt her some - who would trust anyone associated with this, the most corrupt administration in history?
Awwwwwww, that would be tewwible!!
But, if IRSgate doesn't derail her, what about Benghazigate??
“What difference does it make?”
Yer full o $h!t Lanny.
As I was brushing my teeth, I just realized that 300 MILLION Americans are watching this IRS sideshow.
The IRS used to have the reputation of being “tough but official.”
By the hour, that IRS reputation is changing into “takes half your money every year, and uses some to persecute you depending on your religous/political beliefs.”
I’m not sure how much longer Americans are willing to sacrifice 1/2 their income to pay for the welfare class, illegal alien class, AND to pay for their own persecution at the hands of Moslem Communists such as Soetoro.
After the “journalist” meeting at the Whitehouse, the Left has been talking up the IRS scandal.
I think they are trying to distract from the Benghazi scandal.

What the hell, Barack? Now Lanny is dissing us. Whatcha
gonna do about it?
Of course, if revelations of the use of the IRS as the Regime's political police wakes up the low information voters, and they vote R or stay home in disgust, that can only be good!
The legions of douchebag backbenchers are going to be in the war rooms discussing their chances in a primary campaign against Hillary.
Biden, while tied to the admin, can always just say he knew nothing. People will believe that.... very easily.
Then you have Cuomo, O’Mally, Big Sis, Warner.
There was that weatherman who shat his pants at the White House. He could run. The list goes on.
The Clintons including that knucklehead daughter should never be allowed anything in government again.
The IRS used to have the reputation of being tough but official.

If the IRS is the Gestapo, what does that make Obama?
What difference does it make?
