Gibbs: Issa charges against IRS ‘shameful,’ owes agency apology
The Hill ^ | 6/3/13 | Jonathan Easley

Posted on 06/03/2013 8:12:15 AM PDT by Nachum

Former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs on Monday pushed back at House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa’s (R-Calif.) claims that top officials from the IRS’s Washington, D.C. office directed the targeting of conservative groups, calling the allegations unsubstantiated and “shameful.”

“Republicans are on the verge of overplaying their hand publicly and the American people will quickly lose interest on their side in this,” Gibbs said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “They want to see the IRS cleaned up, but they understand that Darrell Issa is doing nothing more than politicizing this event. To throw around the words ‘liar’ and ‘perjury’ as easily as he did is shameful.”

Speaking on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, Issa said his panel had conducted interview with IRS workers in the Cincinnati office that revealed “they were being directly ordered from Washington.”

“This is a problem that was coordinated, in all likelihood, right out of Washington headquarters. We have subpoenaed documents that would support that,” Issa said.

Speaking of apologies. The whole thing became known when the IRS apologized for doing it.

Apology....never!!! Gibbs, Obama, Carney, Holder, Pelosi, Reed, Clinton, etc. are all serial liars, from head-to-toe!!! America will never prosper, be free, have opportunity, again until they all are removed from office and public service. They do not deserve apologies, they deserve jail time....starting with Obama & Holder!!!

With a planted question to mis-direct the media and people on other equally important issues.

If there was nothing to worry about, the best thing for those on the Left to do is let Issa and others rant away. Gibbs’ “concern” for the reputation of the Right leads me to believe the worst is yet to come.

Can Gibbs explain this?

Excerpt:
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) official who apologized for targeting conservative nonprofit groups for extra scrutiny is married to an attorney whose firm hosted a voter registration organizing event for the Obama presidential campaign, praised President Obama’s policy work, and had one of its partners appointed by Obama to a key ambassadorship.

IRS Exempt Organizations Division director Lois G. Lerner, who has been described as “apolitical” in mainstream press coverage of the IRS scandal, is married to tax attorney Michael R. Miles, a partner at the law firm Sutherland Asbill & Brennan. The firm is based in Atlanta but has a number of offices including in Washington, D.C., where Miles works./

Hey, Gibbs! Put a sock in it!

Do you like being a tool for the regime? Does that make you feel good?

The child is standing there on a chair, his hand in the cookie jar. The mother walks into the kitchen.

Mother: "What are you doing??!? It's nearly dinner and you don't have permission to be stealing a cookie and cheating on your dinner!!!"

Child: "Mom, you are on the verge of overplaying your hand publicly. Dad and my brothers will quickly lose interest on your side in this. I want to see the Cookie Situation cleaned up, but let's understand that you are doing nothing more than politicizing this event. To throw around the words ‘stealing’ and ‘cheating’ as easily as you did is shameful."
