Questions raised whether conservative groups targeted for more scrutiny, and Liberal groups allowed to pass with no scrutiny.
This is going high up in Washington, and this stacks up far worse than Watergate.

All this selective targeting of conservative groups, favoring liberal groups, targeting of Administration critics for audit, from at least three different offices of the IRS is a “coincidence” of “low level” people, I suppose.
Pay no mind that the persons in charge were max-allowed-by-law Obama donors and put in charge of ObamaCare. Pure coincidence.

Relatively speaking, this is a smoking gun of the highest order.
Political persecution rewarded with a promotion.

Nah, “there’s no there there,” to quote the brilliant Obama.
Of course, it doesn’t explain how Obama’s campaign chief got ahold of Romney’s tax records. I guess a bird dropped them off:
Obama Campaign Co-Chair Attacked Romney with Leaked IRS Docs
Heck, Sen Harry Reid claimed to have Romney’s tax returns for 10 years. He was either lying or the IRS slipped them to him:
Did the IRS Give Mitt Romney’s Tax Returns to Harry Reid?
Senior IRS Official admits she is not good at math LOL…
Strassel: The IRS Scandal Started at the Top - WSJ"
Good op-ed here.
And here
And… The rabbit hole gets deeper…
The lawyer in me would sue the s–t out of these government employees using a Bivens Action, which makes the employee personally liable for the damages. Apparently, Sen. Reid, Obama’s campaign co-chair, and all these other people are guilty as hell.

Conspiracy to Deprive these people of Constitutional Rights is a similar parallel criminal action and should be pursued, as well.
As these people face 20 or 30 years in prison and total bankruptcy, they will turn states evidence on their puppet masters.
Wow. Not that I believe he’s gone 2nd amendment loving tea partier, but yeah…wow.

Sounds like Piers finally learned what the rest of us already knew.
I can’t believe it but, I actually give Morgan credit here. I’d never thought I’d see the day, but the man self reflected and evolved his opinion/perception.
Wow, just wow.
Pretty sure a small chunk of hell just had a frost
Meh. I think Morgan was just scared of Penn. Penn is a big, scary, magical, highly intelligent libertarian. Piers is the global poster child for male vaginas.
Seriously, though - holy crap. I can’t believe CNN broke from live coverage of Angelina Jolie’s ovarie removal saga to televise this.
Remember Stewart’s criticism that Obama seems clueless as to what his administration and government is up to, until he happens to catch it on the news like the rest of us? Eastwood’s RNC skit appears vindicated.
One more for the road.
Congressman: IRS asked pro-life group about ‘the content of their prayers’
I guess only prayers in the name of Obama are OK.
