DoJ pushed Lois Lerner to help build criminal case against nonprofits.
2014-05-24
[Examiner] Republicans on a House oversight panel say the Justice Department asked former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner in 2010 to help them build criminal cases against nonprofit groups conducting political activity.

In October 2010, Lerner delivered an address at Duke University in which she told the audience, "everyone is screaming at us" to fix campaign finance before the 2012 election.
Appears the Koch brothers got away.
They've got much more expensive tax lawyers than do the tea party volunteers.
The IRS wasn't after the Koch brothers; the Dems have Harry Reid for that. The IRS was the hammer being brought down on the Tea Party.
That's because of those expensive tax lawyers.

Jesus. And with that, the monk grabbed the Master by the scruff of his neck and showed him his reflection in his teacup. And maybe cracked the teapot over his head, 'cause that's how those guys generally rolled. As for the rest of you... there is a precious jewel in this cup, which all of you may view for the miniscule remuneration of one thin dime. Apiece.

#9  #5 You too, Steve.

Sorry. One of the great things about the country the rule of law. Like clockwork, we We have regular elections, and we generally trust institutions like the IRS to carry out their tasks in a fair and impartial manner.

It chaps my caboose to see our system of government subverted for short-term political gain; not so much because of the political advantage it gives, but because of the long-term damage it does to our trust in those institutions.

None of which justifies making imprudent remarks in an inappropriate place. Apologies.

#7  Long life and health to Lois Lerner!
Let no vindictive victim murmur.
Lord, let no writ or rat concern her.
Let no investigator turn her.

Lord, her in Hell is what I yearn-- Er,
Tell the Devil he can't burn her!
Keep safe from what her deeds have earned her
Our bosom buddy, Lois Lerner!

#4  I'd be tickled to read about Lois Lerner and Old Sparky in the same article.

#2  Be sure to read Bubba Graiting's post today entitled "Tennessee Brings Back Old Sparky."

Unfortunately unrelated to the above Lerner article.
