Well supposedly they corrected it twice and it still wasn't fixed and Congress was not told.
And with recent firings by the President and IRS it seems it wasn't totally corrected.

Sometimes bringing it to the public's attention is the only way to get justice served.
If you can't police your own then someone else has to do it.
And both sides should take this into account.

You have a Dem administration being accused of this now.
But Nixon did it as well and IMHO did worse damage.

"Bit the dust"?

I guess you do not realize that all three scandals are in the early phases of investigation and that witnesses are still being sought and identified for testimony?

Despite the deepest hopes of liberals, the investigations (despite what a far left congressman says) have not been completed.

If you have personal knowledge and information to conclusively say that the White House has no involvement in any of these scandals, then you are omnipotent and need to contact the congressional committees right away, as they are seeking the truth.

It looks to me, based on what I've read about the IRS chain of command that it might have stopped at Lerner.
Above her all claimed ignorance.
She claimed the fifth and the one directly under her has been reported as fired.
Emtployees at the lowest level claim they sent apps to DC.

Here. Let me fix that for you.

All three "scandals" have flat-lined, and other witnesses are being frantically sought and identified for the purpose of trying to restore some spark to their lifeless corpses. In the meantime, Issa is involved in a desperate cover-up of the complete lack of vital signs.

Well, that is what I thought. When faced with the uncomfortable position of supporting and rationalizing totalitarian actions by the Obama administration, the liberal will simply ignore reality. It is easier that way, as you do not have to admit to yourself that you support fascist acts.

As you support Obama, again, do you support-

1. Using the IRS to target opposition political groups
2. using drones to spy on US citizens
3. killing US citizens
4. allowing the justice department to use the 1917 espionage act to intimidate an opposition journalist
5. wiretapping AP phone and email records
6. The NSA spying on US citizens via email and phone records

Embrace your fascism. You DO support the above acts, as you continually defend them. How does it feel to be a West Point grad who has discarded the principles of liberty and embraced fascism? That must be very conflicting and confusing.

What did I just tell you about assumptions? Nothing in those three sentences is true.

Gong! If you are going to ask me my opinion on specific Obama policies, I suggest you ask me about actual specific Obama policies, and not a list of imaginary and Procrustean parodies that satisfy your personal prejudice. I would also ignore you if you asked my if I've stopped beating my wife yet.

You always this poor at guessing? State lotteries depend on guys like you.

Like I've said for the past month, the weeping and bitterness from the right as these things disappear like a fart in a windstorm is going to be fun to watch. Judging by this thread, it's already starting.

Does that apply here? It's my take that this is not a criminal investigation, it's fact finding.

You guys need to keep up with current events.
You're so busy bashing D vs R that you don't even care about the issue anymore.
