IRS scandal astonishing revelation

IRS scandal’s astonishing revelation. That Inspector General investigation? The IG allowed an IRS director to sit in on 36 of 41 employee interviews… and the IRS director who sat in was Obama-donor Holly Paz. Even Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) seemed unsettled by the revelation:

“Usually when you are conducting an investigation… you want to keep your witnesses separate because you’re in search of the truth and you are trying to make sure there’s no advantage of a person hearing what somebody else said. That’s pretty standard procedure.”“Iin hindsight,” conceded the hapless squirming IG, “given this matter, obviously this seems somewhat unusual. I need to do a little more research.”

  • Not he IRS but more selective persecution by government greed

  • Not only should n0bamadontcare be defunded, but the IRS itself should be abolished totally and completely before the end of 2013 - time to abolish the income tax - and increase the tax base to nearly 100% with a consumption tax, fair tax, etc. etc. etc.

  • I swear I know how to type and compose a proper sentence. It should've read follow the company line.

    • I know how that happens - you get angry and start pounding the keys and typing faster. In other words, it's Obama's fault.

  • This was done to intimidate those who where being interviewed into falling the "company line" and not reveal what in the hell the IRS was doing. It is time for a special prosecutor and let the chips fall where they may.

    This administration has done everything in it's power to silence anyone who has opposed what it has done.

  • "Um er, well I thought you elected buffoons were too busy collecting bribes and too stupid to pay any attention to our lawbreaking."

  • Hindsight is right - too many of them sitting on their hinders and not doing things as they should be done. What a bunch of buffoons!!

  • These people don't even try to hide the intimidation. Holly Paz was in the interviews for exactly one reason - to be sure that no one said anything that they were not "supposed" to.

    The TIGTA website lists this as one function of their office:
    "Protect IRS against external attempts to corrupt or threaten its employees". Notice the word "EXTERNAL"? http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/about_what.shtml I guess they can be corrupted and threatened till Kingdom come, so long as it's internal.

    • You nailed it. She was there to intimidate - Obama's paid thug. Question is, why would an Inspector General allow it?

      • Rhetorical question, right? He may be a Bush appointee, but he is an affirmative action candidate. Washington DC schools, Howard University degree (that school should not even be considered a university...) then off to Harvard for his law degree. Sound familiar? I would say that incompetence is probably his number one skill, and black loyalty is his number 2.

        • Affirmative action in action. He looked like a buffoon. " Let's see, where can I put this guy that will do the least harm. The AG slot is taken, how about an IG slot?"

    • Yes it has, & those who promote need to incarcerated. It's organized crime, & could be dealt with via the RICO statutes.

  • More of Prez. Quagmire's Chicago bred thuggery. It's like watching an updated version of the NKVD of the Stalin years.
