LIVE: Conservative Groups Testify to Lawmakers on IRS Scrutiny 10am EDT (7am PDT)

Shulman was a major player along with the WH. It was an orchestrated effort that cut across federal agencies including the FBI, ATF, OSCA, EPA, etc. They focused their agency guns against the same targets. True the Vote is the epitome of such efforts. It is very chilling.

[william clark]

This guy’s an idiot, referring to the IG audit as a “thorough investigation.”

[MustKnowHistory]

Sounded like it. Sounded like he mentioned about three repbulicans in leadership at IRS.

[jersey117]

The dems prove that they have no respect for the Constitution

Which makes all of this an exercise in futility. It seems the days of fair and impartial hearings are over. Congress and the Senate have become a running joke.

[PA Engineer]

McDermott has a set of balls to involk Gingrich after he conspired with the 2 Floridians to audiotape the private conversation between Gingrich and Bohner, and then claim it was an inadvertent taping. What an absolute piece of shit.

I forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me.

[mrsloungitude]

Dems only know grandstanding. They all think this is a lecture session. Do they really think the those testifying believe a word these idiots are saying? They have presented proof of the lies and the lies keep coming.

[Gabrial]

Doggett is trying to avoid the issue of targeting.

What a d*ckhead.

[Jane Long]

All the dims, including Dogface, are trying to make this about 501(c)3's and 4's not being for political groups.

Eisenhower and Citizen's United in one sentence.

Eisenhower's Fault!

[MustKnowHistory]

YEp. I think it was just a financial audit that happened to stub its toe on the political corruption.

[kabar]

IG George was appointed by Bush. That doesn’t make him a Rep any more than it does Shulman who donated money to the DNC or his wife who worked for the election of Obama and supported OWS.

[Batman11]

The Committee Chairman should strongly point out that this is the question phase of the hearings, not the filibuster. He won’t because he is weak!

[william clark]

They’re preaching to their choirs in the media and rank-and-file (emphasis on rank) Obama supporters.

[cripplecreek]

I’ll be damned if I didn’t hear Eisenhower getting some blame. LOL

[lodi90]

Outrageous partisan display by the Dems today. Goose stepping fascism on display. None of their own witnesses. ZERO substantive questions of the witnesses.

[mrsloungitude]

Now it’s about Obama care?
The IRS is trustworthy?

[william clark]

And of course, he has to drag in opposition to Obamacare.

[Red_Devil 232]

FU Doggoet!

[MustKnowHistory]

Chairman now making the point that the IG report was an AUDIT.

[GreenAccord]

I was so close to getting a coffee out of Doggett’s time, but, nope, no question from him either.

[Jane Long]

Hope someone tweets Newt about him being brought up by McDermott in the IRS hearings. Would love to hear Newt’s response.
