The House Ways and Means Committee holds the first Congressional hearing on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) subjecting applicants for tax-exempt status to higher levels of scrutiny based on political leanings.
Witnesses include Acting IRS Commissioner Steve Miller who resigned on Wednesday and the Treasury Department’s Inspector General Russell George for Tax Administration.
Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) said the IRS' targeting of "American taxpayers based on politics is both astounding and appalling." He stated that the Committee will "get to the bottom of this practice and ensure it never takes place again.”
In announcing the hearing, Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) said that it is "essential that there be a thorough and bipartisan investigation and effective remedial action.”
Since June 2011, the Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating whether the Internal Revenue Service discriminated against taxpayers based on political opinions.
they aren’t going to get anything more out of him with his “I answered the question truthfully” bs from his lawyers.
Guess, “I dunno” is consider TRUTH among these scumbags.
That’s him. He has by far been the best so far.
Agree that Reichert said things we all were saying. This arrogant jerk needs to be confronted with some passion and anger.
Like you, I did not catch it her last name. He mumbled it.
That’s him. He was very good.
So true and semantics are everything...
I believe it was Marx.
Cspan caller wants to know who lying Miller is protecting. Good question. Maybe one of our repubs will ask it?
What I meant was that obamacare is going to be detrimental for everyone, not just conservatives. Every loathesome, obama-loving democrat is going to be adversely affected as well but they are too stupid to get it. When obamacare fully kicks in it will be a nightmare for our entire country, especially our kids and grandkids. DemocRats/ liberals are too ideological to admit it. They’d rather let obama bring us down. Very sad where we are right now. When I watch this farce all I can do is pray that God will step in. It seems that nothing short of divine intervention will work at this point. What goes around, comes around and I can’t wait for it to come 0’s way.
They know that the opposition has been rendered toothless and they can do whatever the h@ll they want with us.
how appropriate.
Just remember..pride goeth before the fall...
His interrogation skills are shining above the rest of the congress critters. Good stuff. Thanks for the background. It helps to explain his capable presence on the committee.
I don’t know
Watch the news
Talk to the hand
Dem ploys when they circle the wagons around their corrupt politibuddies.
I thought it was Parks, but I could have mis-heard.
Reichert is proof that what you do in high school means little to nothing (I went to HS with him...lol)
Still no notice of WH daily press briefing. I am not sure what the standard frequency is. Did not have one yesterday.
LMAO! :o)
Yes, he does. He is smarmy though. No doubt about that.
LOL
I truly believe everything you learn about life, you learned in high school...
No kidding.
