The scandals are falling apart

[oreo]

It's wishin' and hopin' and wishin' and hopin'.

It might have been different if obama had really fired someone, anyone. But he didn't. The man supposedly fired was leaving anyway and will get reassigned to another department.

Meanwhile, it was discovered that this paranoid cocaine addict bugged the congressional cloakroom.

California congressman Devin Nunes made the claim yesterday that the Justice Department wiretapped telephones in the House of Representative's Cloak Room, an exclusive part of the Capitol where members are able to privately interact with one another.

IRS--There's no doubt that congress is looking for NAMES. Ironically and true to the nature of what we've seen over the last few years--Miller couldn't come up with any NAMES of these rogue IRS agents and or managers who targeted conservative groups. That infuriated both sides of the isle--so I imagine this has legs--and whoever done it is going to pay severe consequences. They are all p.i.s.s.e.d.

Bengazi--is not going to stop. While the White house released 100 pages of e-mails they have yet to release the 1st 68 hours of e-mails directly after the attack. The lies are everywhere. It's unfortunate because it's literally ruined any chances of Hillary Clinton running for elected office again--Susan Rice--David Patreous--and of course Leon Panneta are all involved. Jay Carny--(White house press agent) looks like Pinnocio right now. It's almost laughable. Every time he makes a statement--1/2 hour later another e-mail shows up and catches him in another lie--

I am not certain how the media is taking the "secret" confiscations of their phone records? Obviously Eric Holder looks as nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof--but as typical within this administration--(no one knows anything, including him.) --

The scandals are falling apart





Things go wrong in government. Sometimes it’s just bad luck. Sometimes it’s rank incompetence. Sometimes it’s criminal wrongdoing. Most of the time you never hear about it. Or, if you do hear about it, the media eventually gets bored talking about it (see warming, global).


But every so often an instance of government wrongdoing sprouts wings and becomes something quite exciting: A political scandal.


The crucial ingredient for a scandal is the prospect of high-level White House involvement and wide political repercussions. Government wrongdoing is boring. Scandals can bring down presidents, decide elections and revive down-and-out political parties. Scandals can dominate American politics for months at a time.


On Tuesday, it looked like we had three possible political scandals brewing. Two days later, with much more evidence available, it doesn’t look like any of them will pan out. There’ll be more hearings, and more bad press for the Obama administration, and more demands for documents. But — and this is a key qualification — absent more revelations, the scandals that could reach high don’t seem to include any real wrongdoing, whereas the ones that include real wrongdoing don’t reach high enough. Let’s go through them.


1) The Internal Revenue Service: The IRS mess was, well, a mess. But it’s not a mess that implicates the White House, or even senior IRS leadership. If we believe the agency inspector general’s report, a group of employees in a division called the “Determinations Unit” — sounds sinister, doesn’t it? — started giving tea party groups extra scrutiny, were told by agency leadership to knock it off, started doing it again, and then were reined in a second time and told that any further changes to the screening criteria needed to be approved at the highest levels of the agency.


The White House fired the acting director of the agency on the theory that somebody had to be fired and he was about the only guy they had the power to fire. They’re also instructing the IRS to implement each and every one of the IG’s recommendations to make sure this never happens again.


If new information emerges showing a connection between the Determination Unit’s decisions and the Obama campaign, or the Obama administration, it would crack this White House wide open. That would be a genuine scandal. But the IG report says that there’s no evidence of that. And so it’s hard to see where this one goes from here.

You are pathetic. This is illegal. The only person that looks ridiculous here is you, and everyone on the left that had a hard on for any bullshit 'scandal' the left could concoct. Prescott Bush bullshit, Michael Moore 911 truther bullshit, spying on Quakers, BULLSHIT OUTRAGE OVER EVERY LIBERTARIAN ISSUE THEY COULD--YOU APOLOGIST HYPOCRITE WHORE

I think some Pricks at the IRS are going to get prosecuted. How high it goes, no one knows.

Bengazi--every single day there are more e-mails coming out. The immediate CIA report called Bengazi an Al Queda Terrorist attack--and that was edited 12 different times--to come up with this ridiculous story about a unknown remote--u-tube video as being the source of this 9/11 attack. Several within the consulate, including the Ambassador had repeatedly asked for more security--(they had already been attacked twice)--that was ignored, and those poor guys were crying for help for 7-1/2 hours before they died and those calls went unanswered too. They were literally left there to die like dogs. And all of this was under Hillary Clinton's watch--and she gave sworn testimony to the fact that the security of our embassy's and Ambassadors are under her umbrella--and that she is ultimately responsible for what happened in Bengazi.

The Nixon White House...whoops, I meant to say the Obama White House...released more emails relating to Benghazi but conspicuously missing are emails from the time period immediately after Ambassador Stevens and the other three were assassinated. Those are still being withheld by the Nixon Whitehouse...I mean the Obama White House. One can only assume that there is something in those emails that Tricky Dick...I mean Barry...would not like us to look at.

Are we still trying to delude ourselves that the Benghazi, AP and IRS scandals are not going to result in any significant ill-effects for Fearless Leaders and the Administration? ;-)

Basically?

No.

And it might result in a 2014 sweep.

 

[Oldstyle]

At the very least...if we take this cast of characters at their word when they all claim amnesia...one arrives at the conclusion that our current leadership in the Oval Office doesn't know what's going on around them. The battle cry of "Hope and Change" for this group has morphed into "I don't know!"

If you think they're all lying...which it certainly appears is the case...then they're not just incompetent...they have little regard for the laws that govern this nation.

Of course they are...according to Obama cult members it's ALL a right wing conspiracy or witch hunt...they just can't bring themselves to think their Dear Leader is tainted and CORRUPT

 

[Oldstyle]

I'm waiting to see someone at the IRS pay a price for what they've done. Accepting the resignation of the guy who was going to retire in a few weeks anyways is such a weak response to this that it borders on farce. The woman that was in charge while these policies were put in place is still there working on setting up the IRS's ObamaCare "compliance police". Now if THAT doesn't give you a warm fuzzy feeling this morning, nothing ever will!

 

[Oldstyle]

The correct response to what's taken place at the IRS would be something along this line...

Here's one oponion on this Ezra Kline article...OUCH!

SNIP:
BREAKING: The Scandals are Falling Apart!



So says Ezra Klein, who may turn out to be one of the stupidest people ever to be given column inches in a printed medium of any variety.



After reading Klein’s desperate attempt to map onto reality his own desires, written in the form of a serious news piece, I’m tempted to say something like “fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.”

But then, the movie that comes from is, like, 35-years old. And back then, slave owners were still running things, and men in tri-cornered hats were acting all pissy and dumping perfectly good tea into a harbor when asked to by the Crown to pay their fair shares.

The fact is, Klein is right, but not for the reasons he wants us to believe. That is, his premise — that a scandal is only a scandal if high-level political figures fall — is true. But his implication — that because Obama and Holder and Hillary Clinton likely won’t fall, we aren’t in the midst of any scandals — is cynical, disingenuous, and largely exactly what you’d expect out of a useful idiot who fancies that he’s respected by those whose approval he so longs for.

All the lying, denials and "I don't know"s from the ObamaNixon White House and you think there will be no consequences whatsoever for the Democrats?

Talk about delusions.

By the GOP? Of course.

obama is damaged goods. The 0 may appear for dems in Chicago and Boston, but I'm betting Congressmen in more Conservative states will distance themselves, perhaps even overtly turning against him.

 

[yidnar]

election results do strange things to Repub voters Whatever happened to "jobs, jobs, jobs"? They could give a shit. They're just doing fundraising. Sad that.

removing or at least stopping Obama from implementing his business busting agenda is the biggest boost to the economy and job growth .
