Examining a Scandal Within a Scandal About Emails at the I.R.S.

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/24/us...ndal.html?_r=0

Well, this one looks to be losing steam as far as a tie up to the WH is concerned. But that's not going to stop the wingnuts. In the end, it is not right and wrong but get Obama at any cost.

So Benghazi is dead, IRS is sputtering. Wonder what is the next scandal in the making. There must be something in the Syria, Iraq, Iran triangle that I am not seeing.

Not one person in real life has come up to me and mentioned the IRS scandal. I have not overheard anyone speak about it at work, etc.

No one cares because it is not important. It was just a botched attempt at enforcing a poorly written IRS rule that was an actual misreading of the Eishenhower era law.

IMO, that's because influencing the IRS is unthinkable. Period. They work in the background, never stop digging and have extraordinary power to obtain information.

I still do not understand what the right wing is hoping to accomplish other than media attention on to themselves. Eventually they should be seen as incompetent but I doubt the public will notice.

They all are fantasizing that Obama was in the Ohio IRS office masterminding the whole thing.

If it is not important why the destruction, crash of computers by the IRS.

I am not making excuses for IRS. But they are composed of ordinary government workers and I am sure certain groups of people involved in granting 501 tax exempt status including Ms. Lerner, are stonewalling the investigation. Eventually all of the information will come out including deleted emails. In this information age, it is impossible to purge data.

But as Ice mentioned, for ordinary citizens, this is not a scandal that the right wing wants to make this out to be. I am fully convinced that if there is any worong doing, they will eventually be caught and punished.

It does not effect anyone that is why.

Plus Obama had nothing to do with it. Lerner may have acted wrongly, but it was an adminstrative mess up, not some conspiracy reaching back to the President.

It is like if I did not like you Don and found out you had traffic ticket back in 2011. So if I could not find any other dirt on you I just decided to post on the internet the sordid details of your ticket and demanded an investigation and your resignation from PC.
