Did they confirm that this targeting was limited to two rogue employees in the Cincinnati office as well? lol
No, it clearly wasn't, though that's where it started. Again, if you read the actual letter/report instead of just popping snark, you'll learn all sorts of things. The DoJ is openly critical of the IRS, but reports they found literally no evidence of partisan intent. Even Republican IRS employees interviewed and employees who were very critical of Lerner's organization unanimously agreed there was no partisan intent.

I have no problems with the DOJ finding nothing to warrant criminal charges. One day the shoe will be on the other foot and I will heartily condone the same actions of a Republican administration as those we're experiencing from a Democrat administration. ...
So, like Michal, you will continue to ignore the facts and will instead continue to wallow in the RNC lies and innuendo. Rather hypocritical given your frequent noise about how much you hate dishonesty.

So much debunking of Repub talking points and disingenuous rabble rousing going on lately, they're literally running out of attacking points and are going to be forced to get defensive about their ideological theories on helping the common folks who see their hopes and dreams of a better future for themselves and their children being taken away by the very policies the Repubs are consistently pushing for.

Can't wait for that to happen.

It actually started with an "impromptu question"....Lie #1. I lost count since then.

Free tea for poor people?
It appears that the mere concept of conservative causes related to social welfare are extremely hard for you to imagine...so let me help you: issues regarding gun rights, right to work, tax reform, education reform, balanced budget amendment, job creation, and judicial reform, to name a few.

That's not where it started. That's where it became public. Nonetheless, Miller was fired for his dishonesty. Pity we can't say the same thing about bald-faced liars like Issa. Odd how Republican voters are quite happy to send that walking personality disorder back to Congress, yet are apoplectic over any hint of dishonesty from the left (e.g., Boomerang). Party uber alles.

From the public perspective, that's exactly where it started...with a lie.

As opposed to some, I have very little tolerance for liars with their false narratives.

You appear to have quite a lot of tolerance for it so long as it comes from the correct source.

Now that the DOJ has completed its investigation, in your opinion who's description throughout this discussion has been closest to what actually happened, Bowfinger's, or the many conservatives in this thread?

The only question remaining is when do we start a committee to investigate the Benghazi committee?

If you're talking about this cesspool...yes, I'm much more tolerant of the various crazies who post in this forum...especially as opposed to those who hold powerful positions and govern us. Imagine that!

You're a hypocrite, and you can't deflect it.

Have a nice day.
And who are you? Someone who's incapable of coherently expressing himself or engaging in a reasonably intelligent conversation? Perhaps it's high time for you to understand something...the 'peanut gallery' is the place where the idiots sit. Surely you aren't as stupid as you appear to be. Engage if you're capable.

I guess it was too subtle for me too as I didn't see where you answered my question.
Here...let me be more specific in my answer.

I believe Bowfinger has been very credible and I highly respect his opinion.
