Pull Mica off the stage. My God.
I bet the IRS budget has not gone down.
Because President Jarrett told him so?
These people are a joke, except in the end the joke is on us.
This is what Connally was talking about on the budget. The house has used the purse to control the IRS.
House budget punishes IRS with 15% cut, halts Obamacare enforcement
In addition, due to the inappropriate actions by the IRS in targeting groups that hold certain political beliefs, as well as its previous improper use of taxpayer funds, the bill includes the following provisions:
— A prohibition on a proposed regulation related to political activities and the tax-exempt status of 501(c)(4) organizations. The proposed regulation could jeopardize the tax-exempt status of many non-profit organizations and inhibit citizens from exercising their right to freedom of speech, simply because they may be involved in political activity.
— A prohibition on funds for bonuses or awards unless employee conduct and tax compliance is given consideration.
— A prohibition on funds for the IRS to target groups for regulatory scrutiny based on their ideological beliefs.
— A prohibition on funds for the IRS to target individuals for exercising their First Amendment rights.
— A prohibition on funding for the production of inappropriate videos and conferences.
— A prohibition on funding for the White House to order the IRS to determine the tax-exempt status of an organization.
— A requirement for extensive reporting on IRS spending.
ObamaCare –The bill also includes provisions to stop the IRS from further implementing ObamaCare, including a prohibition on any transfers of funding from the Department of Health and Human Services to the IRS for ObamaCare uses, and a prohibition on funding for the IRS to implement an individual insurance mandate on the American people.
The Rep on now is easy on the eyes.
“Connolly is making it sound like budget cuts were the reason the IRS didn’t have better computer equipment.”
-
Yep ! I said to myself “So it’s all our fault”.
Idiots reign.
.
Jordan up. The best guy on the panel.
LOL!
This head of the IRS is giving we taxpayers a litany of excuses that we can throw back at the IRS. If it’s good enough for the IRS itself, it’s good enough for us.
Jordan is good.
Finally Jordan is unloading. About time someone did.
So what was the story by Politico about telling the White House?
The freepermen always get Catherine Zeta Jones pics on the Maureen Down threads.
JIm Jordan up and on fire, R-Ohio.
Incredulous that K-man cannot recall who and when he was told that Lerner’s emails are missing—major news stories for 13 months.
K-man says he did not tell anyone outside the agency about Lois Lerner’s emails.
Jordan—why did you wait so long? YOu knew in April and did npot say anything until June.
Did you tell the Justice Dept.? No.
Why not?
No evidence of a crime.
At what point does this become obstruction of Justice, Jordan asks.
Every Rep from here on needs to yield back to Jordan. He is the only one on the ball tonight.
He just said he didnt know in April that they lost any emails as Jordan was interrupting him..did you notice that?
Was that the story that the White House gave Politco by fax machine and then Politico writes a story from the talking points?
My local RAG touts it’s “proud partnership” with Politico. lol
That’s what I told an Obama voter today. Said he needed a receipt for his tax records. I told him to tell them the dog ate it. He laughed. There was nothing else he could do.
Good point
But seriously… good luck with that ;- )
Jordan brings up IRS obstructing justice by waiting two months to inform anyone about the Lois Lerner email problem.
