Who's Jeoffrey?

It's not just the fringe, Chuck, it's all of them. Boehner's yelling for impeachment and jail time.

then that puts him to the right of bachman and newt.. at least see where this is going and are trying to give the gOP extreme caution on the amount of 'fuck up' it;s about to serve itself..

when Newt and Bachman tell you to slow down on a charge against Obama... Slow-the-fuck-down.

And now we have this...

WASHINGTON -- "Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said earlier this week in a little-noticed interview that he knew "approximately" what the IRS inspector general would report about selective targeting of conservative groups, but that it wasn't appropriate to "accuse the IRS until you've had a nonpartisan, deep look."

Ohhhhhhhh. Sounds like someone got all, "non-conclusion before the conclusion" suddenly.  Wonder what rattled his chains?  Because he sure as hell has gone into every "potential watergate!" accusation mode, on other items, with even less to go on than this. 

Could it be that we found out that he, among others, were informed by the IG of problems back in June of 2012...and did nothing? And further more, the IG posted this on their website in October of the same year...still...not a peep.  This wouldn't be excellent political fodder for election points? Hmmmm. Curiouser and curiouser.

I wonder if the peeps at American Crossroads and Americans for Prosperity told him to shut it the fuck down, before the next logical step in scrutiny (which should have been the first) FINALLY aimed the *outrage* right in their direction...?

that's a good read..

it seems like many people knew of this.. especially since it was posted on the irs (or treasury) website.. or more specifically, an 'investigation' was posted.. only no one knew what was being investigated.. which is how it should be. add in that no, the WH shouldn't have known either  and you've got nothing but a 'damned if you do,damned if you don't' scandal..

1st. had everyone all the way up and down the ladder have known the full details of the investigation.. the perpetrators would have scrubbed the 'crimes' leaving nothing for the investigators to find.. even local PD don't give away all information to everyone they are investigating and they especially don't give the open-play-book to the people they are investigating..

2nd. Had the WH known all details as they were happening.. the press and partsian congress would have lost their minds claiming the WH was interfering with the non-partisan IG investigation..

hence the 'damned if you do/damned if you don't'... since now the WH didn't know what the exact details were, they just had  general sense, the press and partsian congress is losing their minds the WH was trying to cover it up by not being a integral part of the investigation..

But you're right Chuck. all of a sudden people who usually scream "impeachment,cover-up,liars' the loudest at Obama are now begging for patience,fact-finding,slowing down and looking before you leap'...I think some in the GOP were more involved in this than we know... whether they knew all of the investigative details for months and said nothing.. or whatever...? I don't know.. what we do know is that they have been screaming 'impeachment and cover-up' while demanding 'facts' because they claim to have none when it comes to Benghazi.. so they aren't opposed to screaming those things right off the bat,without factual information.. but on this irs issue, they damn sure are afraid to rally the base just yet..
