Probe fails to link IRS scandal to White House

[Cigar]

WASHINGTON (AP) — A House Republican investigation faults senior IRS officials in the mistreatment of conservative groups that applied for tax-exempt status, but could find no link to the White House, according to a report released Tuesday.

The probe isn't over, although investigators have reviewed 1.3 million pages of documents and interviewed 52 officials. The report, however, marks the end of Rep. Darrell Issa's tenure leading the investigation.

Issa, a Republican from California, is stepping down as chairman of the House Oversight Committee because of term limits. Issa has repeatedly clashed with the White House and congressional Democrats over the way the IRS treated tea party and other conservative groups.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, will take over the committee in January. Chaffetz has said his approach to the committee will be less confrontational.

The report does not absolve anyone from blame. Instead, it complains that the IRS and the White House have not fully cooperated with the investigation.

"The White House's obstruction not only violated the president's promise of cooperation, but it affected the committee's fact-finding obligations," the report said.

I believe this is a very credible point that was ALSO in the link that you provided for us, yet you have 'forgotten' to insert that into your little rant.

YET,, you can thank your lucky stars that I am here to help you with it.

Another thread from a leftist, that is misleading. . . whodathunkthat.

We paid this idiot to read 1.3 million pages and after tens of millions spent on umpteen investigations ... he found NOTHING.

Good riddance to car thief, arsonist and insurance swindler Dirty Darrell!

And you conveniently ignore this part of the report also;

"The White House's obstruction not only violated the president's promise of cooperation, but it affected the committee's fact-finding obligations," the report said."

Surprises me not.

It's what they do best. But two times is never enough.. they need 10 or 15 at least (unless it's Obamacare and then they need over 50!).

If the White House wasn't the slightest bit involved, then how would they possibly "cooperate" .. did you want them to make shit up?

Must be *ignorance is bliss* for you two. Just because y'all ignore this ;

"The White House's obstruction not only violated the president's promise of cooperation, but it affected the committee's fact-finding obligations," the report said."

doesn't mean it's not true.

[ace's n 8's]

Can you see those FACTS now?

any explanation how the repubs were able to pass the most recent credit-card extravaganza without dem assistance?

btw: how did the Patriot Act (a repub creation) go from being terrible under gwb to necessary to extend under bho?

It doesn't matter if Oz-behind-the-curtain wears an R or a D on his jersey, the game he is playing doesn't benefit most of us.

Hmm ---> no link, no factual evidence, no nothing other than ginormous big red letters.

Dirty Darrell would be proud to have you to replace him!

[Peter1469]

There is no real doubt that the administration used the IRS to attack its political enemies. And it is not surprising that they didn't leave a trail to follow.

The IRS has a lot of experience at hiding their trail....they have been targeting the enemies of presidents for many years.

It's right thar in the OP's link plus this;


"The report does not absolve anyone from blame. Instead, it complains that the IRS and the White House have not fully cooperated with the investigation."

Cigar has severe reading comprehension problems, I expected better of you.
