<snip>No one died at Benghazi.
Fast and Furious was the name of a movie and no one died in Mexico.
The GOP is just making this stuff up!
People plead the fifth all the time when they have nothing to hide.
Lol. Yes, even when the truth will clear them of all charges and allegations, people still like to plead the fifth as a sort of benign exercise of 5th amendment rights.
Totally common.

A mob on a witch hunt has a bad habit of finding what they are looking for. Just ask the women executed in Salem as witches.
When government and partisan hack witch hunters have the power to utterly destroy you, it is often prudent to take the Fifth.
The whole point of us having a Fifth amendment is to avoid the PRESUMPTION OF GUILT which the mob is clearly making.

Do you have evidence to support these strawman fallacies? Show us where someone claimed these things.

Well, we just saw you do it! It's become as natural as breathing to you.
Actually, they didn't "target" anyone. That's the point! Groups from both sides, and the middle, were further scrutinized. That's not "targeting". That's being thorough.Why are they targeting anyone?
Clearly you dont have a problem with the government targeting groups and people they see as political enemies, why is that?

Please provide proof of any "mob" at the congressional hearing. Please detail how a congressional committee could destroy an employ of the executive branch. This isn't a court of law. There are different rules. And when a public servant takes the 5th in a matter like this people are rightfully curious as to why.

You really have no idea how government works, do you? You honestly do not know about the subpoena power of Congress and that Lerner was there under subpoena? You are ignorant of the fact she was testifying under oath?
Wow!!!!

Proof the IRS Didn't Target Just Conservatives
Almost one third of the tax-exemption applications selected for additional scrutiny by the IRS were from groups that were not conservative.
Close to a third of the advocacy groups named by the Internal Revenue Service as recipients of special scrutiny during tax-exempt application reviews were liberal or neutral in political outlook, a leading nonpartisan tax newsletter reported after conducting an independent analysis of data released by the agency.
All told, around 470 groups were flagged as "potential political cases" between 2010 and 2012, including 298 whose experiences were analyzed in a Treasury Department inspector general's report. Because the IRS by law must not name groups that have not yet been approved or which were rejected, only a subset of their names was made public in May by the agency -- 176 cases.

Non-conservative advocacy groups given special scrutiny by the IRS in or after 2010 included the Coffee Party USA, the alternative to the Tea Party movement that got a bunch of press in 2010, as well as such explicitly progressive groups as the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada; Rebuild the Dream, founded by former Obama administration official Van Jones; and Progressives United Inc., which was founded by former Wisconsin senator Russ Feingold.

Facts few conservatives will acknowledge, of course; as they don’t conform to the right’s contrived narrative.

well dang, I thought it was 2013..
desperate
They didnt. How do we know? If they had the leftists would be up in arms about it and the administration's apologists would be pointing to it as proof they were fair.What WOULD be interesting to know is if the IRS asked the liberal organizations to provide donor lists as they asked the right wing groups to do.
