Wow, even other conservatives that backed him are starting to jump ship and pretending they had nothing to do with him.
That's what happens with overreach. Few believe Issa's motives are genuine. They know he is only out to try to dirty Obama and will skew information to meet that objective, and no longer take him seriously.
Issa is not to be trusted,nearly all of what he claims is nothing more than b ull c rap with no proof or facts to back up his claims,the latest IRS debacle being a case in point. The Morning Plum: Darrell Issa backtracks on IRS scandal
Hysterical! Jambo posts a link from the website
"Americans Against the Tea Party" in order to try and substantiate his ridiculous claim that the IRS didn't target the Tea Party! LMAO!
And now we have a 2nd IRS official pleading the 5th over charges he funneled $500 Million in contracts to his buddy:
And while they wait that are allowed to act as exempt organizations and not harmed by any delay.
Oh, that's right. That makes it OK.
There are some -- at least one I could name -- that lost a grant they needed. But, in your eyes, that's OK since they are an organization that leans right, and should be impeded by "waiting".
That's right in line with Obama's mantra: punish your enemies and reward your friends.

The big uniter.
Why would a donor, willing to give a grant, back out of making that donation? The donor is not entitled to a tax-deduction even if the organization was a 501c4.
So they closed the investigation ?
What about Lerner taking the 5th ?
Did that conservative manager get fired ?
Why would anyone get fired? The real scandal here is that political groups are using the 501(c)4 tax status inappropriately to avoid paying taxes and to hide their contributors when they do campaign work. The IRS was trying to flag the applications most likely to have problems, and they flagged both conservative and liberal groups. The IRS regs need to be changed to match the law--NONE of those groups should be allowed to do political work. I want to know why all of those applications were approved once there was political pressure--none of them should have ever been allowed to go forward if they weren't social welfare organizations doing social welfare work.

Even the federal government has standards on who obtains grants, and yes, often times you have to BE a non profit, not waiting for approval
Everytime you post something, you prove how little you know..

Kevin Kookogey, the founder and president of the educational group Linchpins of Liberty, said he applied for tax exempt status in 2011 but still hasn’t been approved. He said he has since lost a $30,000 launch grant because the IRS hasn’t yet given him the status.
Now, those of you who say the IRS scandal is "completely debunked"...debunk this:
The organizer of a pro-life group said an IRS official even asked the group to pledge not to picket the pro-abortion organization Planned Parenthood if they wanted their application to go through.
Show where any liberal/progressive group was offered a tit-for-tat to get their application appoved.
