The hearings are very important. Dragging them out is not. The IRS has admitting to targeting people for their political beliefs. Ending that is not a witch hunt.

The big question is who orchestrated this operation? Who is Louis Lerner protecting?

Nope. My opinion is that different groups are targeted in different ways for different reasons... as you would know if you had paid any actual attention to what the IRS did. You really should read the article I posted. It explains in in significant detail.

I know you guys hate detail, because that's where the devil dwells.

Read the article. Catch up.

Except that it pretty comprehensively debunks the IG letter. Funny how that works.

Issa was wrong- and looks like the idiot he is.
They should have dragged her off to a jail cell today. She waived her right to plead the 5th, when she gave testimony the first time, saying she is innocent.

They need to keep bringing her in, over and over until she decides to tell the truth. Issa is hardly an idiot. He is also not a lying criminal, like she apparently is.

Until then, you're still just hating on the United States Constitution.
I have to admire a captain who will go down with the ship, and right now the water is up past your chin.. You know as well as the rest of us that this administration is as corrupt as any we've ever had, yet you continue to hold out to the end. Why not be honest and admit obama and his co-conspirators are corrupt and should have never held office. but you won't, even as the little fairy princess is swinging from the gallows...

No, they need to get on with it. Yes, she should have had the option today, tesitfy, testify with immunity or prison.

Let's get this straight, 100% of the groups with tea party in their name were targeted simply because they had the name. Only 30% of the the groups with the name "progressive" were targeted in the same time frame and it had nothing to do with the name. Within that 30% they certainly weren't scrutinized to the same level as tea party groups.

You think that's acceptable?

What's the percentage and totals of groups with the term "emerge" in their name that were targeted because they had the name "emerge"?

And yet, Issa did not declare her in contempt of Congress. So, either you've got it wrong or he does. I'm betting you.
