The IRS scandal just got even worse

So the Obama IRS wasn’t just persecuting right-leaning nonprofits — it was out to prosecute them, too. And with the help of the Obama Department of Justice and FBI.

Via Freedom of Information Act lawsuits, the watchdog group Judicial Watch just got evidence of the plot. A “DOJ Recap” on an Oct. 8, 2010, meeting tells how officials from the three agencies discussed “several possible theories to bring criminal charges under FEC law” against groups “posing” as tax-exempt nonprofits.

As part of the project, the IRS handed the FBI 21 computer disks with 1.23 million pages of confidential IRS returns from 113,000 nonprofit 501(c)(4) groups — nearly every 501(c)(4). This, though federal law generally bans the IRS from sharing such data.

The evidence shows “that the Obama IRS scandal is also an Obama DOJ and FBI scandal,” noted Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The FBI and Justice Department worked with Lois Lerner and the IRS to concoct some reason to put President Obama’s opponents in jail before his re-election. And this abuse resulted in the FBI’s illegally obtaining confidential taxpayer information.”

There are a couple of salient differences between the threat to impeach Nixon and the lawlessness of the 0bama regime. The first and obvious one is that Nixon was a Republican and therefore the democrat/communist media/academia propaganda complex was out to destroy him simply because of his political stripe.

Less noticed though is that America has changed in the meantime. The most relevant change is that in the 40 years since Watergate, the federal government of the United States has grown so large, so pervasive, so omnipotent and omnipresent in the daily lives of every American citizen, that it no longer recognizes any restraint in it’s power over the people. Nor do the various feudal dukedoms of the federal bureaucracy, each one having its own military, recognize any control or restraint from any other branch of government. The Rule of Law is dead, and we now have a government that no longer serves the people, but rules over them. The TEA Party would take away the power (and jobs) from the bureaucrats who comprise this all-powerful government. Therefore, the TEA Party is the enemy, and must be suppressed. And with the help of the democrat/communist media/academia propaganda complex, who willingly vilified the TEA Party at every turn, the government has done exactly that.

Hobbes would be proud. The Leviathan is here in a way he never dreamed.

Let me see -— Nixon was THREATENED with impeachment when it was “discovered” that he was using the IRS to investigate his “enemies” list?

Where are the Articles of Impeachment?

Yeah, whatever. Congress is doing nothing about it so it is a moot point.

“When do they start going to jail?” That will not happen.

The Negro Nazi party is in charge, and they won’t disparage their own people.

Federal law generally?

What about the 4^th amendment and “no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. “
