Today, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew gave an interview to Scott Pelley. In the clip below, he attempts to bat aside the IRS targeting scandal by asserting that there's "no evidence" any political employee was involved in the targeting.
As Gowdy also pointed out, the story from the IRS has changed numerous times as new facts have emerged -- never a good sign. That's why, contrary to Jay Carney's claims, it's not a "phony scandal" -- real abuses occurred, and the American people still don't know how it happened.Heres what I would want to ask Mr. Wilkins. Look, the 50% has not changed since we got our numeric code. Political activity, weve had, you know, when I was a kid, it was the Moral Majority and John Birch Society. So political activity isnt new, 50% isnt new. Why the different level of scrutiny for conservative groups starting in 2010? Well, the code hadnt changed. Why did the scrutiny change? And why did the scrutiny emanate out of the Chief Counsels office in D.C?
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew... attempts to bat aside the IRS targeting scandal by asserting that there's "no evidence" any political employee was involved in the targeting. It sounds good, of course -- but his "no evidence" formulation, designed to suggest the administration's innocence (i.e., that "no evidence" exists), means only that investigators have so far been prevented from uncovering all the facts.No OBAMA ordered it all, and should be impeached. Meanwhile, Lew can state, "look, all I said was there was no evidence for it, y'know, to make sure I wouldn't be thought to have knowledge of an illegal operation; and because I didn't deny that it took place, there's no chance of claiming I lied about anything."
Nope, of course not
I believe also that he ordered it all, or at least hinted that it be done
The sheeple today think “taking the 5th” means heroically standing up to an unfair prosecutor of phony charges. Think that’s what Wilkins will do if called before Congress?
Dear Trey Gowdy....Love you but get a new talking point about the 50%......NOBODY KNOWS WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!
Greta was on fire last night about the “phoney” scandals. Too bad she is not on at 8.
I would love it if Fox would dump Shemp and put her on at 7.
As for the ‘phony’ statements..we all know they are liars..doing their best to suppress.
Not to denigrate the 3 Stooges..but these administration crooks are doing a classic Duck, Dodge and Dive.
I make 2-3 calls a week to Congress and Senate..just on the IRS alone. That and Benghazi are THE two issues (for me) to concentrate on. Keep up the heat.
The crime against the Republic is far too severe for mere impeachment. The penalties must be terminal
That's not really it, huh?
I'd like to know who came up with this "phony scandal" phrase. It's SO "progressive."
Complete lie. It was ordered from the top and carried out to please the One. Those who did it were rewarded.
Greta would clear up the waste & fraud in a heartbeat.
Make her a czar!
Dems are thugs... and they don’t like it when people notice.
That is factual
Side note: The author took over for Barry Obama the following year as editor of the Harvard Law Review.
She has tacitly admitted that she found one helluva mess waiting for her, implying that Barry had not done jack shiite when he had the job.
This is a clip of Greta and Trey Gowdy
IRS Scandal - Carney: Obama Is Focused On The Economy, Not On “Pretend Scandals” From GOP

"Which of these scandals are 'phony'? Is Benghazi a 'phony' scandal? Is the NSA spying on Americans a 'phony' scandal? Is the IRS being used as a political tool to punish political opponents a 'phony' scandal? Just which of these items does the president consider 'phony' scandals?"
How about the phony social security number he possesses?
