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 IRSs 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 Committees 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.

Or is going to frog march Treasury Secretary Lew to jail?
This is what happens when you have the fox guarding the hen house...
Lew is a master commie ping-pong player. I’m surprised zero hasn’t fired Carney and replaced him with Lew.
Lew lies better than Clinton himself.
You forgot “the faggotization of the U.S. military”, and the purging of Bibles therein. Also, removal of any references to Islam from terror training manuals (if they even use them anymore).
When is issa or any of these congress-limps going to arrest someone? I mean...isn’t the racist holder in contempt of congress (for many months)????????????????????? Until then, this is diversionary and a bungling of opportunity.
So you think the House GOP can arrest people and put them in jail?
Hmmmmmm.....
I hold no brief for the aforementioned weaklings, but please get real. You will command respect by living in REALVILLE, USA, as opposed to Alice in Wonderland, The Land of Oz, or where ever else...
I’m for hearings by special investigative committees and let the whole ugly mess hang out. Hold nothing back.
But the InJustice Dept is the entity charged with federal law enforcement and they are the FOX guarding the hen house.
That’s just the way it is.
Great idea!!! Submit a tax return with redacted fields.
Very soon.
Issa has subpoenaed her.
You gotta admit they planned this coup pretty good... considering they had 100 years to do it.
The Cruz rollback should only take a year or two, considering most of this crapulous is executive order..
And Cruz is rolling this crap back right now, setting it up for execution Jan 20 2017.
Ooooooooo! Was the subpoena strongly worded? I bet it was. I bet Lew is just shaking in his boots (out of laughter knowing that the GOPe doesnt have the balls to do anything).
The Democratic [sic] face of the Big Government party does most of the end runs around the Constitution; the Republican face of the Big Government party does nearly all the huffing and puffing.
Good. Thanks for the update...should be very interesting.
The House can have him arrested.
Sargent-at-Arms, specifically.
Thank u.
You are part of the reason that good conservatives think about going “RINO” -— why the hell should anyone try, when a jerk like you will just pull the rug out from under any effort to do a good job?
You are also one of the reasons that good conservative politicians go RINO on us.
Why even make an effort, when ingrates like you stab good Conservatives in the back?
You are wrong.
The House cant arrest anyone.
So then you cause a big enough STINK with hourly/daily press meetings to lay out the way, the how...HAMMER the piss outta out of the Executive Branch until it relents and does its JOB.
Unfort., there’s not a chance of making a principled stand with the vaginas in the GOP ‘leadership’
You have put the cart before the horse by about a mile. They came out of the closet as RINOs long before I finally started getting mouthy and calling their bluffs. I gave them plenty of chances. They kept abusing my trust yet I came back for more. I fell for the “lesser of two evils” meme. No more. I’m working more, getting paid less, and my cost of living is skyrocketing. I see my country and what so many millions have worked hard for, died for, being systematically dismantled while the GOPe huffs and puffs and fails to blow down this house of straw. Perhaps we can no longer call them RINOs, as traitors would be a much more appropriate term. It is not my fault that you are still suffering from beaten wife syndrome from the GOPe. Someday, if they finally vote in amnesty like they have planned on all along or fail to defund obamacare as they promised, you will have had enough and you won’t go crawling back. Most of us conservatives are already there, and we’ll be there to bandage your wounds and wipe the crusty blood off of your face.
