Hope he can be trusted. But is he serious about this or just acting the part of the “GOP hard ass” to keep the base in line?

Trey Gowdy: IRS' Lerner to be Held in Contempt of Congress Soon

I think she should be held in contempt. My question is, however, didn't Holder get a contempt citation too? Did it hurt him at all? I don't think Lerner is exactly shaking in her boots. I just think it will be business as usual, unfortunately.

The people holding the IRS hearings are beginning to remind me of Obama. A lot of promises, and a lot of bluster, but no delivery.

If she used her Fed.Gov computer to send congratulatory e-mails regarding election results, she is most definitely retarded at a minimum.

Lower level apparatchiks are crucified on a daily basis, but degenerates like Lerner and Sandy Berger always seem to skate.

IRS needs to go, replace it with some other less maniacal bureaucracy with extremely limited powers.

Does Russia have an IRS?

It’s become a Monty Python skit.
Issa and Co. should go away before the administration and IRS taunt them a second time.
Or is it a 19th time?

Lerner is part of the communists empire of King Obama. The contempt charge will be useless since King Obama will get out his pen and will put a protective curtain around her. Issa will get pissed but off the hook.

Wednesday by the committee over his agency's failure to produce the emails. Koskinen said it could take years to comply with the committee's request.

“All we want are the emails to or from Lois Lerner. I'm not talking about private taxpayer information,” Gowdy told Van Susteren.

“Just emails like the one she sent celebrating a Democrat victory in a special election, calling on the FEC to save the day – overtly political, nothing to do with her job. We'll just settle for those,” Gowdy added.
..........


In other words, Issa already has had much of the emails leaked to the committee and is in possession of enough damaging e mails to prove a cover up and for obstruction of justice counts against various guilty parties and they are just letting the IRS dig themselves a deeper and more damaging cover up hole.

from http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/contempt_of_congress :

Contempt of Congress is defined in statute, 2 U.S.C.A. § 192, enacted in 1938, which states that any person who is summoned before Congress who “willfully makes default, or who, having appeared, refuses to answer any question pertinent to the question under inquiry” shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a maximum $1,000 fine and 12 month imprisonment.

Kinda likin’ that “12 month imprisonment” part!

Good. If they actually do it.

Not holding my breath. A lot of wind. A lot of thunder.

Very little rain.
