Darrell Issa recently quietly dropped this investigation when it transpired that an IRS official in Cincinnati took full responsibility for the targeting of Tea Party groups. Oh, and this official is a self-described "Conservative Republican."<br /><br />Over the objections of Issa, the full transcript of the interview of this official was released. As MSNBC noted:<br /><br />"Answering questions from Committee staff for more than five hours, this official—who identified himself as a ‘conservative Republican’—denied that he or anyone on his team was directed by the White House to take these actions or that they were politically motivated."<br /><br />Issa has subsequently, and reluctantly, dropped this matter. He is a true scumbag, with his crazy conspiracy theories. Now, if we could also inform the right-wing freaks on talk radio to stop blathering on about this "story."Angler Codynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502695489360674806.post-47823775425428001032013-06-03T15:31:46.592-05:002013-06-03T15:31:46.592-05:00"Main-Stream-Media is a function of republi-c..."Main-Stream-Media is a function of republi-can't hedge-fund traders/traitors.

And yet Obama gets the blame for Benghazi.

I can't get around to all of them because (1) I don't have the time, and (2) I don't think blog readers are generally patient enough to read pieces that long.

Bush. I don't understand how lying the nation into a disastrous, unneccessary $3 trillion war can not be an impeachable offense. Not to mention torture, outing covert CIA agents, illegal wiretaps, etc. etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
