And to this day, the Republicans still sit on their hands... threatening this and threatening that. New FBI IRS Scandal Documents: Obama IRS Waited Years to Tell the TruthObama Donor/DOJ Prosecutor Compromised Integrity of IRS Scandal Inquiry Breaking the Law is an Obama Administration PolicyJudicial Watch, AUGUST 05, 2016 Following up on some mega disclosures last week, this week we released 105 pages of newly obtained FBI “302” documents revealing that, beginning in 2010 and lasting through the Obama reelection campaign in 2012, the IRS orchestrated a deliberate policy of burying conservative groups’ tax exemption applications in bureaucratic delays. Interviews with numerous Cincinnati IRS employees in mid-2013 reveal that “Tea Party” group applications were automatically denied approval and assigned to a special “Group 7822” for an extended “inventory” process while waiting for decisions from IRS headquarters in Washington, DC. One IRS manager “asked why progressive cases were not segregated similar to the Tea Party cases, but she did not get any satisfactory answers.” FBI 302 documents are detailed narratives of FBI investigation interviews. The Obama Justice Department and FBI investigations into the Obama IRS scandal resulted in no criminal charges. www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/weekly-updates/new-irs-scandal-documents/

And as the information continues to pour out on this travesty... Where is the Republican outrage? Where are the PERJURY proceedings? Where are the CRIMINAL proceedings, Where are the IMPEACHMENT proceedings ... Oh, thats right (crickets chirping and shuffling feet). Lawsuit discovery proves IRS lied about targeting conservative groupsBy Dan Calabrese, August 8, 2016 The media tried to tell us two years ago that the notion of the IRS targeting conservative groups had been “debunked” and that the scandal had “fizzled.” Neither of these notions was true. If anything, they were self-fulfulling prophecies. The media didn’t want to discover the truth, so they didn’t bother to dig for it, thus making it plausible (at least in their warped minds) to claim there was no story. But there was, and what journalistic malpractice tried hard to cover up, a lawsuit by the pro-Israel advocacy group Z Street has uncovered. In the discovery phase of this litigation, we have learned that the IRS engaged in a great deal if obfuscation and foot-dragging designed to hide what transparency would clearly show. Not only were they targeting conservative groups for delays and harassment, they were openly talking to each other about how to do so, and how to hide the fact that they were doing so. The Wall Street Journal editorial page is one of the few mainstream news sources that still takes its job seriously, and it offered details over the weekend: canadafreepress.com/article/lawsuit-discovery-proves-irs-lied-about-targeting-conservative-groups

This oath breaking, perjuring, POS Koskinen, should already be sitting right next to lois lerner in prison... IRS vows to finally begin processing applications of targeted tea party groupsBy Stephen Dinan, The Washington Times, Thursday, August 25, 2016 The IRS is still holding up three tea party groups’ applications, Commissioner John Koskinen admitted in a letter to Congress last week — but he insisted he agents are finally about to begin processing them. Mr. Koskinen is hoping to head off yet another judicial spanking for his agency, which has suffered a string of defeats in federal courts that ruled he is still improperly targeting conservative groups and mistreating them more than three years after the tax agency admitted to its bad behavior. Not only are three groups still awaiting approval, but the IRS had left open the possibility of kick-starting the use of its targeting, or “be on lookout” (BOLO), lists that the agency used to figure out who it was subjecting to intrusive scrutiny. Now, Mr. Koskinen is finally moving to shut the operation down for good. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/aug/25/irs-vows-to-finally-stop-targeting-tea-party-group/

Aw, he was just a victim of circumstance... IRS chief Koskinen says he was misled, doesn’t deserve impeachmentBy Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Wednesday, September 21, 2016 He admitted that the IRS bungled tea party applications and that he gave wrong information to Congress, but Commissioner John Koskinen told lawmakers Wednesday he didn’t mean to mislead anyone and said ousting him from the troubled tax agency would stall the progress he has made in cleaning things up. “I accept that it is up to you to judge my overall record. But I believe that impeachment would be improper, it would create disincentives for many good people who serve, and it would slow the pace of reform and progress at the IRS,” the commissioner said at a hearing called to set the stage for his possible impeachment. Mr. Koskinen was appointed to be the troubleshooter after the tea party targeting scandal. But he ran into problems in trying to fend off the congressional probes into the targeting, including overseeing the deletion of backup tapes containing emails sent or received by senior executive Lois G. Lerner — a key figure in the targeting probe. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/sep/21/john-koskinen-irs-chief-says-he-was-misled/
