re: Lerner referred R Senator for audit because of an invitation

So it's your belief that if an IRS agent comes across something she believes may be illegal, if it involves a politician, she should say nothing?

The belief based on OVERWHELMING evidence(and disappearance of evidence) is that the bitch did this only, or at least primarily in one direction.

By itself, the email is completely non-informative. Given the totality of the last several months, it's just another one of those "hmm" moments.

Oh. Decatur is corrupt to the core. Is that even in doubt? There is literally nothing Decatur wouldn't support if it meant eliminating conservatives from politics.

You know it's true. Hell, I'll bet you can't even think of something you wouldn't support if the net result was the elimination of conservatives in American politics.

it wasnt illegal. it wasnt even close.

it involved his frickING WIFE.

So your defense is that this woman who heads up the IRS is so incompetent she doesnt even understand when people should be audited?

good god.

Hey dummy


They knew they couldn't get away with in house emails because that would take them killing almost every hard drive at the D.C. IRS, hence they concentrated on getting rid of emails that went out to her and Flux's co-conspiritors at the white house and on Capitol Hill.

DUH.

So, a google search by Rex or VB would have showed that Matthew Giuliano, the person Lois was emailing with, was a lower level resource.

A question coming from a senior official to a junior official in most large organizations is a more of a command, not a suggestion.

Decatur and Rex are setting the bar very low for ethical behavior when Republicans take over. Anything goes. Anything explained.

If that email is an indication that she's "crazy", "insane" and a "moron" I'd recommend you look at a mirror because I don't see how the IRS giving greater scrutiny for tax exempt status to groups who are clearly political and are not eligible is an example of "persecution".

---

Because it was 100-1 toward conservative groups?

The lady headed a group that admitted to targeting conservative groups, refused to testify, and now claims that a huge swath of emails requested by CONGRESS was destroyed by happenstance.

If you think this is overblown, fine, but impropriety here has been admitted by the IRS, and now they're going to lengths to obstruct Congress from finding out how far it went.

Lerner was in charge of the tax exempt organizations. She is going out of her way to nail Grassely for POSSIBLY not reporting income on his next year taxes. You cannot read the email string without coming to the conclusion Lerner was politically motivated.

I was trying to play Devil's Advocate in my statement.

That's clearly what it was but I was trying to find the most plausible spin that the idiot brigate could put on it, as opposed to flat-out lying their asses off.

Really?

You're looking at it in a vacuum.

We have an administration that claimed targeting was done but was only in a field office.

An investigation points toward (at least) Lois Lerner as being the source of targeting conservative groups.

She pleads the 5th and the IRS stonewalls attempts to get her emails.

One of the emails finally received shows her knee-jerk reaction to audit someone who is considered a conservative.

By itself this email would (at the least) buttress the belief that IRS employees are audit-happy. Taken in the context listed above it's more tinder placed in an area where there's already smoke.
