IRS must publicize sensitive tea party data obtained in targeting, Obama administration says

when ever the republican nominee gets into the white house that person needs to bring charges against anyone connected to the scandal that Obama neglects to pardon.

The IRS doesn't make "requests."

That sentence right there is an outright admission that they were targeting.

We should be surrounding IRS buildings, and Lois Lerners house and daring them to come out.

Naw, screw that. Just burn em down and pray they don't escape..

Despite this and countless other usurpations and violence committed against the people, I am typically told that an Article V convention is too dangerous.

I fully support Article V and propose Term Limits on all branches of the federal government including the judiciary, repeal of the 17th Amendment, and a Balanced Budget Amendment.

If the Trump/Cruz shotgun wedding goes through...which it will, how would you like to be the head of the IRS and get this call from the lobby?

“Excuse me, VICE PRESIDENT CRUZ IS HERE TO SEE YOU”!

Imagine that call being repeated to every department head in the government.

I swear, if this finally all works out....the most feared word’s in all of D.C. coming from President Trumps mouth will be....

“I’LL HAVE TED LOOK INTO IT” !

Jedi.
