(Washington, DC ) Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton made the following statement regarding the Obama Justice Department decision to close its investigation of the IRS targeting of Tea Party groups and other conservative opponents of President Obamas policies:
President Obamas IRS was used against his opponents to help him win reelection. So the Obama Justice Departments decision to shut down its IRS abuse investigation with no prosecutions is as unsurprising as it is corrupt. Judicial Watchs independent litigation proved the Obama IRS obstructed justice and destroyed evidence. And we uncovered that the IRS and Lois Lerner conspired with the Justice Department and FBI on a plan to jail the very Americans the IRS was illegally suppressing. In fact, Justice Department lawyers recently admitted in federal court that the IRS watchdog is still digging through IRS backup tapes and has no idea when the search will be complete. This same Justice Department decides it can shut down an investigation before it has all the evidence? That might pass muster in Chicago, but America deserves better the IRS is not above the law.
Congress needs to get its act together and consider the impeachment and removal from office the officials, including Barack Obama, responsible for the worst abuse of the IRS in American history. Judicial Watch will continue its independent investigation and litigation that has made it the best source for the truth about the continuing IRS scandal. In the meantime, the Justice Department and FBI, which illegally obtained IRS files on Americans with the help of Lois Lerner and the Obama IRS, should finally be investigated for their role in Obamas misuse of federal law and tax agencies against innocent Americans.
It’s corrupt and rotten to the core .. and nobody seems to have any remorse about it .. or what to change it.
Then, when people like Ted Cruz try to make the Congress accountable, we have Hollywood people calling him: Devil.
That kind of nonsense feeds the ignorant .. and the rot continues.
From your lips to God’s ears.
In practical terms, Republicans need to compile a list of everyone involved in the corruption and cover-up. Then, when there is a Republican POTUS and congress, file criminal charges against the worst of the lot, fire the rest with not only a bar to their being hired by the government, but a prohibition against any company hiring them, or else it will be barred from government contracts.
Lerner should be going to federal prison, along with senior personnel who were instrumental in this. Then anyone associated with them who doesn’t blow the whistle, as well as testify, should be out of a job.
And not just in the IRS, but in the EPA, NOAA, FBI, BATF and any other government agency that broke the law.
Prison bars or employment bars.
Yes he is. Unfortunately like F& F nothing will be done. In fact the GOPe was just fine with the supression of the TEA Party.
Obama has the keys to the jail cell.
He’s not going to lock himself up.
Just like GW did to the clinton crime family? Sadly, I wish I was wrong, I hope that I’m wrong but nothing will happen.
The Laws of this country, officially, only apply to those not protected by this Admin. That a Government employee, in the IRS, is not indicted, when she has invoked her 5th Amendment Privilege (to not INCRIMINATE herself), yet illegally professes her innocence (while not officially under oath), is an appalling miscarriage of ‘justice’. But I think we are aware that the Obama Admin’s ‘Justice’ Dept is only there to protect the criminals in the Obama Admin.
Are you pretending that the ‘powers that be’ in this country will EVER allow a Republican POTUS??
bump
How would Trump indict any of these criminals when they destroy all incriminating evidence before they leave office (that is, IF they ever leave office)???? Hmmm?
My response to the IRS
No Justice, No Peace
There are only two courses of action left that can save what remains of this country.
The First:
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate. Article V, United States Constitution
The Second:
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. - The Declaration of Independence
“Lerner better hope Trump doesnt become Pres”
This is why Trump, or any other outsider, will not be allowed to be POTUS.
