Here we are with another admission of culpable wrongdoing
by a top agency of the Federal Government.
Eric Holder had a press conference yesterday defending his agency
against the seizure of phone records, cell phone records, emails and other
information regarding the Associated Press, its reporters and its managing
officers without warrants and without advance notice as required under the
law. He spent the time insisting that there had
been a serious national security leak and that his people were totally justified
in doing what they did.
In the meantime, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was
on the defensive in his daily briefing regarding the exploding I.R.S. scandal
and Obama’s assertion Monday that he didn’t know anything about it until he had
read it in the papers, although the White House Legal Counsel had been notified
many days before. The tentacles of the
illicit scheme reach at least into the top levels of the I.R.S. in Washington,
DC. Of course, Obama and Carney both
claim the Benghazi story is over and has become a Republican political
vendetta.
COMMENTS:
I suppose disregard for the law in going after the AP is negligible
in the overall Obama scheme of things. I
cannot fathom the White House Legal Counsel knowing of an impending scandal of
the I.R.S. size without telling his boss.
If the Benghazi story is over, why won’t the administration allow
witnesses to be named and to testify? Once
again, the White House is not to blame; all of the evidence being to the
contrary, it’s always someone else’s
fault.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Has anybody besides the Tea Parties and Patriot groups
been scrutinized for audit by the IRS? (Josefina
~ Foster City, CA)
A. The internal I.G. timeline shows a unit in the agency was
looking at Tea Party and “patriot” groups dating back to early 2010. But it also shows
that list of criteria drastically expanding by the time a June 2011 briefing
was held. It then included groups focused on government spending, government
debt, taxes, and education on ways to “make America a better place to live.” It
even flagged groups whose file included criticism of “how the country is being
run.” By early 2012, the criteria were
updated to include organizations involved in “limiting/expanding government,”
education on the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and social economic
reform. In other words, unless you’re a
flaming liberal, your odds of being audited are way up; the KGB will be
watching. And aren’t you pleased that
the I.R.S. is in charge of ObamaCare?
Q. Do you think any heads will roll at the I.R.S.? (Sig ~ Spokane, WA)
A. Possibly, but keep in mind that once fired, they might
testify against the Administration in a Congressional investigation. Cleta Mitchell, one of Washington's most
respected elections attorneys, told NEWSMAX
she has tangible proof that high-ranking IRS officials in Washington were fully
aware of the agency's campaign to target conservative groups for heightened
scrutiny, despite their denials. She
also thinks the President was aware of it for some period of time.
Q. Why do you believe Obama should be impeached? (Manuel ~ Clovis, NM)
A. Win, lose or draw, I believe an impeachment process is
the only way we will ever get at the truth.
Obama and Holder with otherwise not allow the proof to come out. If, as we all suspect, Obama had personal
knowledge of Fast & Furious, the I.R.S. scandal, the A.P. scandal and/or
the facts about Benghazi and he did nothing about it, those are impeachable
offenses. I have a strong feeling that,
not only will he go down in history as being the first black President, but
also as the first black President to be impeached and removed from office.

“The only conduct that merits the drastic remedy of
impeachment is that which subverts our system of government or renders the
president unfit or unable to govern.” ~ Charles Ruff
