Impeachment File on Benghazi Coward B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, a legal citizen of the sovereign Nation of Indonesia.

Of course it did. Obama’s “I know nothing” routine was laughable & know debunked.

Watch the movie “The Lives of Others” to get an idea of what the administration is doing.

Whyd’ya think Steve Miller (no, not that Steve Miller!) won’t name those two “rogue employees”? ‘Coz they’d name their higher ups, who’d name their higher ups! D’uh!

-— Since the early days of this scandal, we’ve learned, even if it was buried in the Style section of the Washington Post, there was a “directive.” ——

Directives happen..

Duh....

This close and consistent involvement of Washington bureaucrats contradicts testimony offered May 17 by Treasury Department inspector general J. Russell George and acting IRS commissioner Steven Miller, who said that the scandal resulted from poor management and a lack of oversight. George told the House Ways and Means Committee that Determinations Unit specialists in Cincinnati sent letters to tea-party groups “with little or no supervisory review.” Yet the IG report itself indicates in its timeline that the letters were often written and reviewed by the Technical Unit.

I have said all along that the IG is part of the cover-up. I wonder how much the report was changed before it was finalized.

Of course it did!

Thanks for posting this.

Reminds me to pray for those with consciences, that they will have the strength and courage to do what’s right.

Is there an obscure Executive Order from Obama giving the impetus to these IRS lawyers handing out their directives?

“What did Obama know, and when did he know it?”

In short, either Valerie Jarrett or former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel started this operation with the acquiescence of the President.

There was a strategic decision to slow walk Tea Party Apps. A plan this aggressive would have to come down from the White Hut. These people were not freelancing.
