Lying is the default setting on these politicians.

NOTE TO ISSA’S COMMITTEE:

Can some of you for just once give up your face time and give it to Trey Gowdy.

Some of the questioning is just a waste of time. We need someone who knows how to ask questions AND FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS

And behaving in a disgusting way with no fear of consequence.
That's the bottom line. But even if there were consequences, these smarmy commies still wouldn't care because they know they and their ilk - all the way up to the WH - will be protected by their fellow travelers.

The IRS stance is “We’re ALWAYS right”.. even in front of a Congressional committee.

IRS Commish reminds me so much of Ellsworth Touhy in The Fountainhead.

@Schultz44 #IRS John Koskinen says he didn’t tell anyone about missing emails because he was advised not to tell anyone. Who advised him?

If he doesn’t know the law then how does he know he didn’t break it? I know, logic doesn’t apply with these people.

Laws are for the Little People.
Once you attain a position of power and hold the correct party membership card, you are untouchable.
That's where we're going, if we're not there already.

IRS officials REALLY think anything they do is legal, because they ARE the law.

Has anyone heard anything about Gowdy’s Select Committee?

[dead]

This Jiminy Cricket looking son of a bitch makes me want to throw him in front of a train.

He's been coached and promised, by the Democrats on the committee, to just smile and remain calm because there is NOTHING that congress can do to him. And he has NO worries about Eric Holder's Justice Department.

He's a smug, arrogant asswipe, and I fear he's going to get away with everything, as he's been promised.

Trey Gowdy played the Smirking Pissant for a fool.

[Arrowhead1952]

I heard that clip on the news on KLBJ in Austin earlier. I guess the LIVs will never believe any wrong was done, but that is the goal of 0 bummer and his entire administration.

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, and lie some more.

Lather, rinse and repeat. Take out all opposition to your agenda.

Can you imagine? Can you imagine if this were a republican admin. and the IRS pulled this? This would be front page news in the NYT every single day. Journalists would be sinking their teeth into the story.

I can’t believe that there’s not one journalist out there with some guts to ask the tough questions? Where are the young Sam Donaldson’s?

This excerpt needs to be found and Trey Gowdy needs to address it:
Stephen Hayes ‏@stephenfhayes 12h #IRS head John Koskinen says he didn’t tell anyone about missing emails because he was advised not to tell anyone. Think about that claim.
