Just what I was thinking. Emmm...when is Time going to investigate the non-investigation of the IRS by the “investigators” of the Justice Department over Obama’s use of the IRS to terrorize and intimidate his political opponents?
Keep holding your breath.
Isn’t this the wrong thread to be complaining about the press investigating something, or was your intention to run cover for the enemy, Putin?
Bump
