Problem is, this has to get through the house (I predict it will), then through the Senate (where I predict it will die) and then through Obama's pen (where it will be Vetoed).
Future budget impasse and government shutdown ahead.

At this point, the Dems have painted themselves in a corner. The scandals are out there. The malfeasance of the IRS is out there and since even leftists hate the IRS this issue will be difficult for the Dems to resolve without some backlash.
AND to think the compromise bill will be negotiated WHILE the Dems want to be out there campaigning and spinning and denying, this little gambit may have several tactical consequences the Dems are not going to like.
How do they defend funding of the IRS and enforcement of the individual mandate when the average guy thinks Obumblecare is a disaster and everyone wants to see the IRS strung up like Mussolini over their misuse of funds.

There are similar bills stacked up like cords-wood at nasty Harry Rieds feet.
If you get a new Senate, they will fly like the wind.

The next round of elections will change this, I pray. The next president will have to pardon Obama, gag-hack-choke, not unlike Ford did with Nixon. If the next president does not, we will spend the following eight years finger pointing and not moving forward.

Harry can't pay for the IRS on his own. Let him defend their brazen lies and corruption. 15% OFF the TOP. No travel or meetings budgets. No raises. Subpoenas and jail time for obstructing justice/perjury. Take these assholes apart

Champ does nothing. Holder does nothing. Congress does nothing. The FBI does nothing. There is only one thing one can conclude from this... nothingness.

Criminals will always try to hide the evidence. What is beyond reason is the DOJ's response is accidents happen.

Apparently Congress has cut IRS funding because they are covering up their malfeasance.
Also Congress is cutting funding to enforce Obumbletrainwreckcare for the individual mandate/looting of the middle class.
See the article on the cuts to IRS funding...heh heh heh, its going to be a hot time in the old town when the Democratic control Senate and the Republican controlled house sit down to negotiate the compromise funding bill...I'd love to be a bug on the wall as Reid goes apoplectic over that cut.

The NSA was capturing all emails back then. Maybe they have a copy!

Special Prosecutor. Those IRS employees responsible for the emails GO TO JAIL. The entire Fed Gov whoudl be scrubbed for emails to and from the IRS - Even in a worse case, every receiver or sender should have a copy of the emails so the only ones truly missing are those between these 6 and Lerner. EVERYONE else should be obtainable. And these 6 plus Lerner should be compelled to testify or go to jail as to exactly WHO they were emailing during that time fre - or else face obstruction of justice charges and JAIL TIME.

I have the same look on my face over this as when I find my kids all covered in chocolate Ice cream and they are denying eating it while I was gone. Fortunately my kids grew out of it.

There are a lot of IT people on this blog, would you talk? Under penalty of perjury? I sure as hell would, a boss favor is one thing, perjury is an entirely different ballgame. I'd make that clear to my boss's in short order.

They are going to line up and, in harmony, "Under advisement of my attorney, I am seeking protection under the 5th Amendment to our constitution and refuse to answer any question".

Offer the IT guys immunity for testifying. Those that don't accept line up against a wall and shoot. Keep working up the management chain.
#20
This is way too obvious; I feel like we're being set up for some kind of exculpatory documents on this one point, which will then be held as grounds for dismissing all accusations.
#21
Next question to ask. Does congress and doj have backups to their emails? If yes then search all those emails for the Lerner and company. The emails were sent to someone in congress and doj to iron out the shenanigans.

It's easy for me to sit here and say I'd be singing like a canary but you never know what kind of threats have been issued. Then you start thinking about your wife and kids and grand kids. I could see myself sitting in front of a congressional committee all tied up in personal conflict knots and trying to summon the courage to do the right thing. Think about it. If your bosses are desperate enough to lie such a preposterous lie, what else might they do?
#23
Actually, I've given it some thought. My strategy would be to never go to work for those bastards in the first place. You know, you lie down with dogs and you get up with fleas.
[Fox] A friend who served with Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi in Afghanistan said the Marines mother is working with American officials to secure him a new lawyer after the family fired a second attorney last week, and that Tahmooressi is growing increasingly despondent behind bars. I hope and pray he doesn't take his own life.

Obama throws open the border to hordes of children, gang members, cartels, terrorists but he can't apply pressure on the Mexican government to get this Marine back. WTF?
#2
Be a shame if the Mesicans woke up tomorrow morning and discovered the Ready Brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division enjoying a cup of hot joe in dug positions around that nice new prison.

#3, something like that almost happened once, when they moved a cav regiment to Fort Bliss. Let's just say, it took the officers to shut down the motor pool where some engines where already running.
The sergeant is a pawn in a game. The Mexicans are mad with hundreds of deaths from Fast&Furious(tm DOJ). Maybe they want something. At this point, I don't think the WH is willing to ship Holder south. Maybe the next prez will honor an extradition request.
#7
No, unfortunately it won't happen Rich. American exceptionalism, national sovereignty, and pride must be extinguished under a new wave of Hope and Change. Americans must be harnessed with guilt, embarrassed, and belittled; made to pay for our oppressive, colonial racist past. Our once mighty industrial capability must be moved offshore, our energy industry nationalized. Jobs must be eliminated and replaced with gov't subsidy, dependence, and control. The oppressors must pay, their property seized and redistributed accordingly.
Those who cannot understand the regime's strategy and plan are the problem. Thankfully, they are growing old and will eventually die off. Few will remember the old ways. The 'new normal' will have arrived.
#8
The Mexican Government doesn't care about the Fast and Furious deaths enough to actually want to fight Obama and Holder. Since Obama and Holder are on their side in selling out the country to them. So they'll fuck over some honorably discharged sergeant with a politically motivated trial while they ignore the people who actually committed the crimes.
In 1954 Dwight Eisenhower deported 13 million illegal Mexicans. The program was called Operation Wetback. It was done so WWII and Korean War veterans would have a better chance at jobs. It took two years, but they deported them! Presidents Hoover and Truman and conducted similar, orderly deportations as I recall.
#13
Want Mexico to release him? Do these two things tomorrow and he will be out in a few days: all western union money transfers from US to Mexico to an escrow account until released. All flights from US to Mexico cancelled until he is released.

Perhaps next April we can all apply for a six month filing extension due to the loss of 1099's and electronic records. That should get someone's attention.

Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
The very concept that the writers of the Constitution had in mind in accepting some social injustice to avoid absolute political corruption they had seen evolve in human history.

Though a scavenger, looks mighty regal;

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
