Now we know why Lois Lerner invoked the 5th.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324549004579068914192280866.html?mod=trending_now_2 (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324549004579068914192280866.html?mod=trending_now_2)
In a February 2011 email, Ms. Lerner advised her staff—including then Exempt Organizations Technical Manager Michael Seto and then Rulings and Agreements director Holly Paz—that a Tea Party matter is "very dangerous," and is something "Counsel and [Lerner adviser] Judy Kindell need to be in on." Ms. Lerner adds, "Cincy should probably NOT have these cases."
That's a different tune than the IRS sang in May when former IRS Commissioner Steven Miller said the agency's overzealous enforcement was the work of two "rogue" employees in Cincinnati. When the story broke, Ms. Lerner suggested that her office had been unaware of the pattern of targeting until she read about it in the newspaper. "So it was pretty much we started seeing information in the press that raised questions for us, and we went back and took a look," she said in May.

it's great that the guy constantly railing on police states is also the guy that constantly wants to throw people in jail! :lol:

Oh look, the police state libtard thinks jail should only be for political dissidents, not criminals.

Well, the Department for Advancement of Liberalism (formerly justice) hosted a session to teach black ministers how to campaign without violating their tax exempt status (http://dailycaller.com/2013/09/13/eric-holder-irs-officials-coached-tax-exempt-black-ministers-on-how-to-engage-in-political-activity/) - maybe they can do something similar for tea party groups. Step 1: be liberal....
-
The police state bitch who took the 5th retired (probably with full pay and benefits).
Nothing to see here.

Honest question for students of history, has the IRS ever been put to this degree of thuggery under any prior administration?
Now we have http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/oct/3/irs-targeted-dr-ben-carson-after-prayer-breakfast-/ (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/oct/3/irs-targeted-dr-ben-carson-after-prayer-breakfast-/)

I'm not really sure where to put this (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/oct/14/tax-credits-to-illegals-likely-from-midlevel-repor/?page=1). It could go in the obamacare thread to show how awesome the IRS is at managing its bureaucracy, or the thread about the huge economic boost illegal immigrants give us.

Our economy is the strongest in the world. How are illegal immigrants not beneficial?

More evidence of illegal activity (http://washingtonexaminer.com/irs-lois-lerner-gave-confidential-tea-party-group-tax-info-to-fec-violating-law/article/2538263) by liberal partisan IRS.
The Internal Revenue Service shared highly confidential tax information of several Tea Party groups in the IRS scandal with the Federal Election Commission, a clear violation of federal law, according to newly obtained emails.
According to Judicial Watch, the materials “from the IRS’ files sent from Lerner to the FEC containing detailed, confidential information about the organizations. These include annual tax returns (Forms 990) and request for exempt recognition forms (Form 1024), Articles of Organization and other corporate documents, and correspondence between the nonprofit organizations and the IRS. Under Section 6013 of the Internal Revenue Code, it is a felony for an IRS official to disclose either ‘return information or ‘taxpayer return information,’ even to another government agency.”

Well, we now know Lois Lerner is a disgraceful political crony who abuse the power of the IRS to suppress conservative political activity in the lead up to the 2012 election. I wonder if she was taking her orders from higher up?
-
I read somewhere a couple months back that ABC, CBS and NBC had devoted more time to Bridgegate in the first 48 hours after that story broke than on the IRS scandal to that date. No doubt now the coverage is a multiple of 20+
That's rough ridin' frightening.
-
Turns out that DemocRAT Elijah Cummings not only knew about the IRS targeting of conservative groups - he actually participated in it. This is sort of a problem, given that he's the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee investigating the IRS Targeting Scandal, and has repeatedly called for the investigation to be concluded.

Oh, and looks like he probably lied about it when asked point blank during an official hearing.
Ms. Mitchell: We want to get to the bottom of how these coincidences happened, and we’re going to try to figure out whether any – if there was any staff of this committee that might have been involved in putting True the Vote on the radar screen of some of these Federal agencies. We don’t know that, but we – we’re going to do everything we can do to try to get to the bottom of how did this all happen.
Mr. Cummings. Will the gentleman yield?
Mr. Meadows. Yes.
Mr. Cummings. I want to thank the gentleman for his courtesy. What she just said is absolutely incorrect and not true.
Expect the major news networks and newspapers to run wild with this story for weeks, amiright?
-
Oh come on guys, this is all just another part of the VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY!!
So what if leading Democrats and probably the White House used their power via the IRS to muscle around and/or muzzle conservative political groups.
It's okay . . . They're Democrats.

Dems are pro Nazi police state, in case somebody hasn't actually noticed.

This is probably one of the most glaring examples of how the liberal media provides cover for liberals by turning a blind eye to scandals that could seriously damage this administration and the entire Democrat party's electoral prospects. It's stunning, even for the liberal media.

All of Lois Lerners emails from 2009 - 2011 have been lost, as well as 6 others employees involved in the targeting.

I don't admire it. The only reason they act with such audacious contempt is that they believe they'll get away with it, and they believe that because the MSM is doing anything it possibly can to ignore this scandal. It is an indictment of the MSM. I think its safe to assume this won't be a page 1 story for the NYT tomorrow.

These people are going to end up in prison, or turning on their superior. Just a pathetic abuse of power coupled with disdain for the law.

To paraphrase Jonathan Turley soon to be former progressive liberal hero: This is the administration that Richard Nixon always dreamed of having.

It's amazing, the administration is crooked and incompetent. It's rough ridin' amateur hour, year 6.

No, no, you've got it all wrong. I have filed my tax returns the past 5 years. I emailed them directly to Ms. Lerner!

"We found no evidence that any IRS official acted based on political, discriminatory, corrupt or other inappropriate motives that would support a criminal prosecution," the letter stated.
The department also announced that Lois Lerner, who headed the division that processes applications for tax-exempt status at the time, would not face any charges.
When asked whether the Department of Justice was playing politics, and whether the Department would consider charging Hillary Clinton if the FBI concluded that she mishandled classified information, Department spokesman replied "LOL."
