What They Do & Say

The IRS comes after you if you mess up on your tax returns.  The IRS on the other hand rehires IRS staffers who dishonest/poor performance histories.  A good honest bureaucratic agency don't you think?   http://thehill.com/policy/finance/231938-irs-rehires-reprimanded-ex-staffers?   Of the rehires 141 were tax delinquents.   http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/02/07/irs-rehired-141-former-employees-with-issues-paying-their-own-taxes/

The administration and Democrats claim the IRS investigation is a just a witch hunt and refuses to release documents in response to a FOIA request.  My sense is that if it in fact is a witch hunt why not release the documents to prove the point.  Their refusal to do so seems to prove the point that they do indeed have something to hide.  http://www.westernjournalism.com/obama-administration-wont-release-documents-related-irs-targeting-tea-party/

This is potentially a big distraction for President Obama's pick of Loretta Lynch to replace Eric Holder as Attorney General. Quote: "Lynch, as the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, oversaw the investigation in 2012 of drug-related international money laundering allegations against London-based HSBC Holdings LLC.  As a result of HSBC agreeing to a settlement requiring the international bank holding company to pay the U.S. government more than $1.2 billion in fines for money laundering, Lynch’s office agreed in return not to press criminal charges against any bank employee of the U.S.-based HSBC subsidiary." And, "The federal government’s unwillingness to prosecute HSBC was exposed by a former HSBC vice president and relationship manager in New York, John Cruz, who called the bank a “criminal enterprise.” Cruz was ignored by law enforcement authorities until he brought to WND 1,000 pages of customer account records that document his claims."

This item points out the unbelievable hutzpah of Harry Reid not to mention his total and complete hypocrisy and Democrat party hack.   http://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2015/01/29/the-shameless-hackery-of-harry-reid-n1949685?   If you did not think that Reid is a really bad person this item provides a brief reminder of why he is.
