Being an idiot isn't exclusive with being a criminal hack. D.C. proves that to us regularly.

I know I am probably asking the wrong crowd for a serious answer, but where is the controversy in the Elections Crimes Branch at DOJ talking to someone at the IRS about 501c's making political donations?

It was focused on groups of a particular ideology that were in opposition to the sitting President on the eve of an election.........hence the word "Targeting".

I think it has more to do with the population being tired of it and not really caring anymore.

Phony scandal!

Actually the worst political scandal in US history might be about how we elected Barry twice to be our metrosexual-in-chief.

All they are showing is that the DOJ and IRS were looking into suing organizations that lied...

THATS IT.

As much as I wish there was a real investigation into this, which there never will be, this is no smoking gun or even anything close.

It COULD one day, be a marginal piece to the puzzle but on it's own and in conjunction with everything we "have" it still adds to nothing.

I agree, I'm still perplexed about the 2012 results.

a Lerner email from October 5, 2010 shows the IRS sent the FBI and DOJ a “1.1 million page database of information from 501(c)(4) tax exempt organizations” that contained confidential taxpayer information.

But I thought it was just one or two rogue underlings involved?

She was probably having a moment of glibness, and if she can even recall it at all I'm sure she's very sorry.

She be witch hunt. Acquisition after acquisition.

Give it up already.

If the historically first black President does it, then by definition, not only is it LEGAL, not only is it ETHICAL, hell, it's damn near HEROIC.

i don't understand why the DOJ would be involved in this. It would be much more scandalous if it was the DNC or campaign staff.

eta: iread the OP link, and this seems just like the IRS was asking the DOJ to go after these groups. I don't see that as being particularly problematic unless the DOJ actually went after them when there was no wrong doing.

They were looking into criminal prosecution.

This puts it into perspective........ LINK

It is a Blaze article I know, but it contains facts not in dispute and the sequence they happened in.

If using a federal agency as a cudgel against my political enemies is a crime, then let me be guilty!
