White House Compounds IRS Abuse Of Power

From the San Diego Union Tribune:

Last May, IRS officials admitted that beginning in 2010, the agency had improperly targeted and hassled dozens of nonprofit groups for scrutiny based on their involvement in politics. Nearly all the groups opposed President Obama’s re-election in 2012 or his administration’s policies. The Justice Department acknowledged the impropriety of what the IRS had done and promised a thorough FBI investigation.

It never happened. Last month, an attorney working for 41 of the targeted nonprofit groups said no one at any of the groups had ever been interviewed by federal investigators.

............

So the original abuse of power is compounded with another abuse of power: promising to get to the bottom of a scandal and then doing nothing. This is shameless and shameful — and, given this administration’s record, wholly predictable.

In 2010, Obama promised to oversee the “most transparent and ethical administration in U.S. history.” The stonewalling of the IRS mess demonstrates the emptiness of that promise yet again.

Wow, the Dear Leader and his Regime lied again, failed to keep their promise, and stonewalled Congress from investigating again.

Nixonian ! ! ! !
