Obama: There Isn’t A Smidgen Of Corruption At IRS; Lerner: I Exercise My Rights Under 5th Amendment

Loading

Gabriel Malor:

During his big Fox News interview on Sunday, President Obama claimed that there was “not even a smidgen of corruption” at IRS, just some “bone-headed” decision-making. This is understandably raising some eyebrows, particularly since just last May, he said that the targeting of conservative groups by IRS was “intolerable and inexcusable.”

Yesterday, Deputy Attorney General James Cole suggested thatObama had not even been briefed on the investigation into the IRS.

On Tuesday, Mr. Cole told the House Judiciary Committee that he doesn’t know what evidence Mr. Obama is using, but that nobody from the department briefed the president.“Generally we do not brief elected officials,” Mr. Cole said.

That left Republicans with more questions for Mr. Obama.

“How can he be so sure, when it’s an ongoing investigation?” said Rep. Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican and chairman of a key investigative committee looking into both the IRS and the Justice Department’s criminal investigation into the agency.

The Wall Street Journal, observing that we’ve gone from “inexcusable” to “bone-headed,” rightly wonders, “If there was no corruption at IRS, why did Lois Lerner invoke her Fifth Amendment rights?”

Technically Zero is correct. Smidgen means a very small amount.
The IRS has been designated as the agency principally responsible for quashing our First Amendment right of free speech. The agency was told to abolish free speech for any tea party organization.
The RINOs in Congress will not fight for us. They only want to keep their seats. They do not want to pick any fights. They might lose.
So the IRS has a colossal, enormous, gigantic amount of corruption.
But you will never hear that on the Lame-Stream Media.

As several investigations are ongoing and incomplete, how does he know? Is he being briefed?

Clearly, at least to me, Obama was sending a message to those conducting the “investigations” into the IRS that their findings would be just what he said they would be. And he has the “plausible deniability” to say he didn’t interfere…

GOOD AND SMART PEOPLE ARE ON THE CASE, hope they find
the multiple SMIDGEONS,
of OBAMA,

I wonder if OREILLY KNOW THAT PANETTA SAID HE CANNOT SENT TROOP TO PUT THEM IN DANGER,
THIS IS THE MOST COWARDLY ANSWER EVER,
THE REAL EXCUSE IS DO NOT DISTURB OBAMA’S ELECTION,
HE CANNOT SENT TROOP TO PUT OBAMA IN DANGER OF LOOSING HIS ELECTION.
WHO TOLD THE HEROS TO STAND DOWN?
IS IT PANETTA?
IT DIDN’T WORK WITH HEROS, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE LEFT THE AMBASSADOR ALONE, AND THEY TRY TO DEATH
HOPING FOR SURE AMERICA WAS COMMING SOON,
ANY MINUTES, ANY SECONDS, THEY STOOD ALONE TILL THE END, WHICH IT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED,
PRESIDENT BUSH YES YOU WHERE MISS, YOU WOULD HAVE SEND SOMEONE FAST,

here is a news just now from FOX NEWS, IMPORTANT
OBAMA sign an executive order to give a green card to KNOWN MODERATES TERRORISTS,
NOT ONLY ONE, MORE THAN ONE, THAT’S WHAT HE CALL THEM,
GOOD WE HAVE BRAVES TO EXPOSE IT, AND SAY HE IS NOT ALLOWED TO DO IT,
I THINK HE DOES IT FOR VENGEANCE TO AMERICA,
SARAH PALIN PASS IT ON,
