You are correct sir. We have known about the abuse from the very beginning. Nothing will be done. No one will ever be held accountable. The abuse might get worse, and continue indefinitely. I am just cynical enough of government, to believe this.
Abuse of Power and IRS are synonyms.
Real Voter Suppression by Obama and his foot soldiers.

What will they do, what will they do, wringing hands.
Its not enough to simply cry about it in the press, if they are serious about their resolve, they need to put that beast behind bars.

Sure would like to see that smug expression on her up-tilted face done away with.
WaPo: “a months old controversy”
This is why democrats throw up Syria wag-the-tail and why they delay, obfuscate and engage in as much dilatory conduct as possible: so their MSM can say “Uh, shouldn’t this be time-barred?”
