Lots of people should ALREADY be in handcuffs over this....

That they aren’t shows us just how far out-of-control WE have allowed our Government to become.

Dr. Ben Carson was audited by the IRS following his speech at the prayer breakfast where Obama was also in attendance. Remember Obama writing something down and we all thought it was probably notes on how Obamacare could be improved based on the Dr's comments? Well, NO... Obama was writing "Order the IRS to AUDIT THIS BASTARD!!! (Ben Carson)"

Her colleague, though, pushed back on the idea, saying an offer to pay for his wife is “not prohibited on its face.” There is no indication from the emails that Lerner pursued the issue any further.

Good for her colleague. Not good for Ms. Stinky.

So, she’s intercepting physical mail? If so, this rises to Wow. And this was reported by ABC?

Someone refresh my memory. Didn’t Lerner have an unusually high number of meetings with the White House? Many more than the previous person in her position had with George W. Bush, IIRC. Or am I wrong?

Yup. Kind of like when Diane Feinstein didn't say boo about the government snooping in our emails and phone calls, until they did it to her computer and she went on the floor of the Senate bitching and moaning in outrage. When their ox is gored, well, that's different!

It sounds like the wrong invitation was placed in the wrong envelope.

Notice how she swooped down on the opportunity to GET a Republican senator for the very chance of wrongdoing. If it was Barbara Boxer it would have never crossed her mind and she would have accepted in order to do air kisses with Babs on that stage.

I think so, but she was just there to get some fresh greens from ‘Moosehells’ garden.

They got her now! Either she squeals or she will find herself in the jail bird hotel. If she wants to live it would behoove her to stay out of parks and airplanes. ;-)

Jim McDougal thought he was safe in prison, but the Clinton crime syndicate off'ed him.

Notice from the copy of that email, her initial message was ----"Sent from my Blackberry Wireless Handheld."

Does anyone know where emails sent from a Blackberry are stored? On the device itself? If so, they should subpoena hers and those of the others whose HDDs mysteriously crashed.

“I want to see this un-American bitch BURN so badly.”

Along with all of her IRS pals and anyone else who used the IRS or any other agency to target ANYONE!

In a statement, Grassley’s office said the senator did not attend the event, and did not receive any invitation intended for Lerner.

“This kind of thing fuels the deep concerns many people have about political targeting by the IRS and by officials at the highest levels,” Grassley said. “It’s very troubling that a simple clerical mix-up could get a taxpayer immediately referred for an IRS exam without any due diligence from agency officials.”

"Where is John Dean (v)2014?"

Where is Bob Woodward (v) 2014?

Oh, he's still reporting(sic) on Ted Cruz eating alone at the Senate Cafeteria.
