McConnell-NO more stonewalling on IRS- Hearings set 05/17

[bodecea]

I'm still waiting for someone to tell us who is "stonewalling" on this IRS thing.

Are you really going to put yourself out here and act like a dumb blonde??? The IRS admits to targeting conservatives, BREAKING LAWS, and no one has been fired, investigated.. and this had been known since 2012- the entire cover up.. Don't be stupid Bodey.

Hun...I lived thru Watergate. Do you UNDERSTAND what the term "stonewalling" means? It sure looks like you don't. Now...look it up and tell us WHO is stonewalling.

You all might want to let this issue simmer a little while so you can avoid the usual embarrassment when things don't evolve into the president stepping down or impeachment.

McConnell is experiencing some relief that this has come up but it was Conservatives who wanted him gone in November. He should take a look at that.

 

[depotoo]

it is so funny watching some on here trying once again trying to blame Bush.
Booooooossssshhhh did it!

I don't look for either happening, but I see him as a lame duck from this point forward, as well as his administration and all others in the loop will be watching how they cross their t's and dot their i's from this point forward.

Mistakes were made, but they were in no way due to any political or partisan motivation,” he wrote. “We are — and will continue to be — dedicated to reviewing all applications for tax-exempt status in an impartial manner.” Meanwhile, the agency’s initial defense that only low-level employees in Cincinnati were involved with the probing of conservative groups is also beginning to crumble.

Documents shared with POLITICO show that a conservative group focused on voter outreach was continually pressed for additional information by employees in Washington. Lerner told reporters on Friday that the “inappropriate” actions of flagging and reviewing groups were undertaken by “front-line people” in Ohio.

But a letter sent by Cleta Mitchell, a partner in the law firm Foley & Lardner LLP, to Ron Bell, a Washington-based IRS employee, shows that additional IRS offices were aware of the information-collecting activities.

Employees in California were also involved in the review of applicants for tax-exempt status, according to the letters.

“This delay is more than unusually long,” Mitchell wrote to the IRS in June 2011. “I am beginning to believe that the reason for the delay is politically motivated because my client has actively opposed the Obamacare legislation. True to Vote is permitted under the regulations of the IRS to engage in unlimited legislative activities and lobbying, so it is puzzling as to why its grass-roots lobbying and legislative activities would be of any interest or concern to the IRS.”

Mitchell sent the letter on behalf of her client, True to Vote, which is still waiting for IRS approval three years after applying for tax-exempt status. Kelsey Snell and Manu Raju contributed to this report.

There's wayyyyyyyyyyy more to this story and we ALL KNOW IT. Let the ROTTEN chips fall.

Only partisan hacks, like the OP, are obsessed by any 'story' with negative connotations linked to the Democrats and in particular to the Elected President of the United States. Of course good news is never on there agenda, for admitting a black man could lead the nation out of the George W. Bush Great Recession is anathema to a racist.

McConnell is a bitter old man with only one agenda - to make President Obama, Elected by the People, a one term President - and in that he failed.

Boehner is a prime example of the Peter Principle and knows it. Hence he will do whatever his handlers tell him to do, and that is to keep the economy from recovery by any means necessary even if it harms the American People. His one and only goal, like that of McConnell, is to return the GOP to power and enjoy the perks therein.

I'd probably be able to pay down the national deficit faster if I had a dollar for all those years where I heard "It's Clinton's fault!" and "Democrats are traitors and communists/socialists/fascists!"

Actually, we aren't talking about Clinton. His admin was rife with scandal, just like Obama's.

You didn't get it at all, did you?

Apparently you didn't. You're the one incapable of sticking to the subject matter .

What I posted was opinion, ironic it was not. It was - unlike most of your posts - clear, concise and editorial in nature.

I have no doubt whatsoever, that Republicans are gearing up for impeachment.

They are really just piling it on now.

Soon they will be investigating Obama's toe stubbing incident.

This nonsense will probably continue until the MidTerms.

But I have a feeling..after that..The Republicans are in for a shock.

Well, if Matthews compares President Obama with President Bush....that means Impeachment is not far behind....just like Bush was impeached. Right?
