[Daily Caller] The president of the Media Research Center, Brent Bozell, came out swinging Thursday in response to the revelations -- uncovered by the watchdog Judicial Watch -- that Lois Lerner, other officials from the IRS, the Department of Justice, and the FBI met in 2010 to discuss criminally prosecuting non-profit organizations targeted for illegal political activities.
Does the smarmy, insufferable character picture here look like he's concerned about anything? The IRS is fully backstopped at top levels of the gov't.
Bozell was incensed that few media outlets bothered to cover the news. (RELATED: Emails: Obama Administration Discussed Prosecuting Nonprofit Orgs)
"The networks' refusal to cover these devastating revelations borders on being complicit in a cover-up of criminal misconduct by a tyrannical administration using Stalinist tactics against its political opponents," the conservative figure declared in a statement.
In Bozell's opinion, the meeting revealed "criminal coordination between the IRS, FBI and the Department of Justice in an effort to politically persecute innocent, law-abiding Americans and independent organizations." |
