The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform subpoenaed Obama Treasury Secretary Jack Lew for withholding documentation from Congress in the ongoing IRS Tea Party Scandal investigation.

The Oversight Committee accuses the Obama Administration of impeding and obstructing the investigation.

“During the past two weeks, President Obama and you have repeatedly labeled the IRS’s strategy of targeting Americans for their political beliefs as a ‘phony’ scandal. While the Obama Administration has so publicly deflected responsibility for the targeting, it simultaneously has attempted to thwart congressional oversight into the matter… the IRS has engaged in a systematic effort to delay, frustrate, impede, and obstruct the Committee’s investigation,” Issa writes in a letter to Lew accompanying the subpoena.

The IRS targeted over 292 conservative groups before the 2012 election. The IRS abuse continues to this day.

Earlier this week the IRS turned over thousands of pages – most of them completely unreadable – to the Oversight Committee.

Tact?
These threads are often filled with people who attack good conservatives.
I know for experience that it is lonely, to actually accomplish much of anything in the world of politics. NOBODY ever really has the backs of our Conservative leaders.
I have, for more than 30 years, taken that up a my calling and my job.
Those who attack good leaders do not deserve tact, if their attacks are unwarranted.
And thanks for your positive comments about Issa.
