Owl, we covered this years ago. This is just SOP for the IRS. They make assumptions of where fraud exists and the go after it, evidence be damned.

Of course you have absolutely NO proof of this allegation.

Despite the fact the IRS has already apologized for targeting after conservatives?

OWNED

IGNORANT.

What part of him claiming Obama directed this, of which no proof exists, do you guys not understand?

A refreshing change from the days of Bush was a bumbling idiot but also responsible for every single incident that happened throughout his administration and beyond.

Not sure why the difference with Obama.

Still a better score than your low-energy trolls have gotten lately.

Maybe you need some B vitamin shots or something.

The allegation was that Obama did this, not the IRS.

So, we don't have evidence, but the lack of that evidence is what proves our point?

GETBENT

The destruction of evidence, whether "inadvertently" or not, certainly raises the point. I still think they should have indicted Lerner. If that had happened, I'd venture a guess that those emails would suddenly and mysteriously have reappeared.

So it just happened to be conservative groups and Tea Party affiliations that were subject to "aggressive scrutiny". Couldn't POSSIBLY have had anything to do with the fact they are right wing.

Coincidence? I think not.

If you believe so, I have this bridge I'd like to sell you.....

Or if you like. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.

Your comment asserted Obama directed or instigated this. You have no proof of this. None.

So you think the IRS muckety-mucks just arbitrarily decided to target conservative/right leaning groups? Doubtful. Bureaucrats wouldn't stick their necks out unless instructed to do so.

There's MORE than enough circumstantial evidence to comfortably make that connection/claim.
