Remember how long Watergate took to unfold. This IRS scandal has long legs and it's not going away.

The end game... Someone is going to jail... Lerner got to pass go several times, what gives?

Why would they go to jail? The way that part of the code is written, it gives a lot of leeway for the IRS to scrutinize a group trying to obtain tax exempt status, especially a group who doesn't want to ever pay taxes.

Isn't it the job of the IRS to collect taxes?

Someone here has used their power to restrict rights.... Someone is going to jail or worse.

The 14th Amendment is why.

...................... nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

One group was passed on for approval while another was held up and in many cases never approved.

If you are not, like so many others here, able to comprehend the difference in W.H.I.T.E. H.O.U.S.E and W.A.S.H.I.N.G.T.O.N, please, get some remedial help before continuing to post.

You do understand the difference in the two words, right? Seriously, I'm not so sure.
It was not "ordered from Washington", rather naïve to think that he didn't have a specific meaning in that statement. He came up with a conclusion before he performed the investigation, his statement was political and pushed the envelope short of saying Obama did it, we have seen this sad act before.

From all accounts it appears it was indeed directed from Washington. The more people talk the clearer that is becoming.

The sacrificial obama supporters have won. Obama got a 2nd term. They are more than willing to be jailed for the cause.

Damage done. Irreversible.

IRS imploding as it was used as an 'assault weapon'.

Default IRS Scandal: Where In The World Is Jeffrey Zients?

"Former acting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Jeffrey Zients has still not returned from an overseas exile that began after his departure from the Obama administration in April, two weeks before the IRS scandal broke. Zients met with then-IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman and Shulman’s political aide Jonathan Davis and spokesman Frank Keith at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building at the White House complex on April 24, 2012. Only Zients, who was in charge of OMB ad the time, and the three men from the IRS attended the meeting, according to White House visitor logs. Their meeting ran for just under eight and a half hours into the night, the logs reveal. The very next day, April 25, the IRS’s chief counsel’s office — led by William Wilkins, who met with Obama at the White House that same week — sent Washington-based IRS officials “additional comments on the draft guidance. These guidelines covered approving or denying tea party tax-exempt applications, according to a report on the IRS scandal compiled by Treasury Inspector General J. Russell George.

Out of the country since April 24, 2013? Maybe he's hiding in a Russian airport. Or maybe he was Vince Fostered.
