"Not even one smidgen of corruption"

[boomerang]

"The chief executive, the President of the United States has prejudged the outcome of this investigation." - Congressman Trey Gowdy

President Obama, in an interview with Bill O'Reilly.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/vi...scandal_not_even_a_smidgen_of_corruption.html

BILL O'REILLY: Okay. So you don't recall seeing [Douglas] Shulman, because what some people are saying is that the IRS was used at a local level in Cincinnati, maybe other places to go after --

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Absolutely wrong.

O'REILLY: How do you know that because we still don't know what happened?

OBAMA: Bill, we do -- that's not what happened. Folks have again had multiple hearings on this. These kinds of things keep on surfacing in part because you and your TV station will promote them. But --

O'REILLY: But aren't there some unanswered questions?

OBAMA: Bill, when you look at the stuff, there have been multiple hearings on it. What happened here was that you've got a 501(c)4 law people think is confusing. The folks did not know how to implement because it basically says --

O'REILLY: So you're saying there was no corruption there at all.

OBAMA: That's not what I'm saying.

O'REILLY: I want to know what you're saying. You're the leader of the country.

OBAMA: Absolutely.

O'REILLY: You're saying no corruption, none?

OBAMA: There was some bone-headed decisions.

O'REILLY: Bone-headed decisions. But no mass corruption?

OBAMA: Not even mass corruption. Not even a smidgeon of corruption.

Is President Obama able to predict the future? Is he able to dictate the outcome of the investigation? What would possess him to make a statement like that?

The investigation into the IRS targeting of conservative groups is ongoing. Since the start of the investigation, there has not been a single one of the 41 witnesses interviewed. Lois Lerner plead the fifth. Yet President Obama, on national TV says that there is not even a smidgen of corruption.

The following is a powerful statement by Catherine Engelbrecht. Will we hear more statements? Will there be testimony?

Where does this end?​

Since liberal groups were also scrutinized that would make your prior point moot.

 

[Genx87]

Heh that is great comedy. This is govt, of course there is going to be some level of corruption.

What point is that?

Don't you mean the "IRS targeting of conservative AND liberal groups"?

Regardless, there is only 1 political appointee at the IRS. The organization bends over backwards to avoid looking partisan. It just so happens that when the black man is president a flood of conservative political groups come out of the woodwork masking as non-profit apolitical entities.

 

[thraashman]

So I believe boomerang's point in this thread is that he's a paranoid schizophrenic.

 

[Newell Steamer]

Don't you mean the "IRS targeting of conservative AND liberal groups"?

No, because he has no intentions of being honest and truthful.

 

[HomerJS]

Meaning you "targeting of conservative" groups is not true since liberal groups were also hit. It makes the conclusion of managing the increased load poorly entirely most likely.

 

[Doc Savage Fan]

No, because he has no intentions of being honest and truthful.

It's actually liberals who have zero interest in being honest or truthful. Conservative groups were targeted much more frequently than progressive groups (104 vs. 7) with 100% of the progressive groups received approval vs 46% of conservative groups.

A USA Today analysis determined that over a 27-month period, not a single Tea Party tax-exempt application was given the green light, while “dozens” of liberal applicants were rubber-stamped.

Not even one smidgen of corruption my ass. Lerner took the 5th for good reason and having an Obama donor lead the "investigation" is just icing on the cake for liberals like you who value a special kind of honesty and truthfulness.

I never disputed the frequency. Just the omission that Liberal groups were exempt.

But, thanks for the info.

You guys are doing your typical thing. Pick apart something based on semantics. You would not think any differently about my post if I'd inserted the one word you evidently feel makes a world of difference.

If the topic makes you uncomfortable, that's good.

I'm sorry, but we seem to speak a different version of English. I can't understand your version.

Targeting the IRS

So, high numbers of black people commiting crimes means they are criminals,.. not racially fueled targets of law enforcement.

And, high numbers of Conservatives being targeted by the IRS, means they are poltically fueled victims, not suspects of tax evasion (a crime).

Got it.

I learned so much today!

 

[trenchfoot]

Fox News programmers combined one part sifted Three Mile Island dirt and one part Elk River water. They mixed thoroughly till lumps were gone and let sit for five minutes. Then they added two parts fresh steaming bull dung and gently folded in until dung was evenly covered and they simmered the brew for one hour.

They then invited Pres. Obama for an interview, provided him with a teleprompter and digitally overlaid a bullseye on his forehead. Along with the previously prepared porridge, a large ladle was included and was strategically placed on Willy's on-camera interviewer's desk prior to Obama's arrival.

Willy then proceeded to feed the porridge to Obama with almost all of it ending up on his forehead and nose.

End of interview.

Effectively they were largely exempt from this type of targeted IRS scutiny.

 

[Matt1970]

104 vs 7. That seems pretty even to me.

You are smoking the good shit today brother!

IRS has limited number of staff/resources which are enough for a typical election period.

Black man gets elected

Conservatives political groups fly out of the woodwork with most of them filing for tax exempt status as non-profits in order to abuse the system.

IRS can't handle all the butt load of requests from mostly conservative groups and can't hire and train more resources with given funds.

IRS needs to manage workload with limited resources due to excess demand. It does what anyone would have done prioritize work using criteria. Unfortunately those criteria were poorly defined.

 

[boomerang]

I feel that part of the issue is that the left is shielded so much from what is transpiring because their news sources go to such great lengths to not report anything detrimental to 'the cause'. How many knew about the Lois Lerner email that is evidently the reason she plead the fifth? She conspired to target Conservative groups.

The email is at the link.

 

[boomerang]

So anyway, back to the question. How does Obama know there is no corruption when the investigation is not over?

It's over. The political theater on the right is not an investigation.

Gotta give Obama credit, he succeeded in using the IRS as a political tool where Nixon failed. Not many Presidents could out-Nixon Nixon.

I'm actually surprised that liberals aren't mad as hell about this given their level of outrage regarding a Christie's bridge closure abuse of power.
