For those who aren't interested have a picture of a Subaru being flown by Mr. (Chris?) Atkinson. Image source !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , and there are some more interesting pics too. Sort of a random collection so chances are you'll see something you'll like.
I think its pretty poor that bureaucrats can use the power of their agencies to possibly behave illegally and then they can refuse to answer questions in a congressional hearing. The fact that Lerner is refusing to answer questions regarding IRS actions is BS. Her latest "congressional hearing" ended after 15 minutes as she refused to answer questions yet again, invoking her Fifth Amendment right to not testify. I'm sorry, but when you are a bureaucrat at a federal agency, you need to be held accountable to Congress which is supposed to oversee you and the American public whom you are supposed to serve. The fact that these people can use their position to abuse their power and possibly act illegally against the American public and then refuse to testify about it needs to end. At some point we have to say that if you are a federal employee, you can not invoke the Fifth Amendment to avoid testifying about events that happened while you were using the power of your federal office. Latest on the story !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

Darrel Issa's commitee is a Kangaro Court, the IRS did not target conservative organizations exclusively, in fact the only two organizations refused a permit were liberal ones, despite the fact that there was three times as many conservative ones. Darrel Issa is the disgrace here, not the IRS. And no one with two brain cells to rub together would do anything but take the fifth in these circumstances.

Where are you getting your information? From everything I have seen directly from the findings reports in DC it's a game of Democrats pushing the boundaries as far as they can, the Republicans pushing the boundaries as far as they can, and special investigators that got pulled into it because of the abuses at the IRS.
It doesn't matter scope. People seem to think if it was less than 10 cases or more than 100 cases it matters. That's not how systems work. The system can not be changed at all for political purposes. When something like this happens where a person working closely with a party does something messy enough to get an internal investigation kicked to the AG's office, you know you have a problem. Likewise, you know it was known and deliberate when arrangements are made to evacuate the leadership just before the shit hits the fan.
It's all a huge game, but at the heart of the issue is the fact the IRS should not be swayed by anyone and it's pretty clear they were. The committee is just show, as everything in Congress is, but that doesn't change the facts... it's just now the other parties turn to try to exploit the situation.
