IRS stonewalls probe of tea party targeting emails

The Internal Revenue Service’s tea party targeting program is still withholding approval of 19 organizations’ nonprofit status, nearly a year after the scandal was revealed, the agency’s commissioner testified Wednesday to Congress — where he faced fierce criticism from lawmakers who said he is stonewalling.

John Koskinen, the man President Obama tapped to clean up the embattled agency, also said it will take years to respond to all of the document requests from Congress. He told Congress that even complying with a subpoena for emails from just a handful of key employees couldn’t be done before the end of this year because it takes time to have attorneys delete protected taxpayer information.

This is bull sh!t. Why is there any protected taxpayer information in Lois Lerners email? That should be enough for an indictment alone!
The whole scandal is nothing more than Obama using the power and apparatus of the federal Government to harass and intimidate his political opposition.
Illegal by any standard and basically treasonous and he should be hanged like
Ceausescu.
