As we were all with Our families ..THERE WAS A Christmas Miracle! House Admits IRS Review of Tea Party Orgs Was No Scandal So this is Christmas. House Republicans published an official admission that there was no scandal and no coverup in the IRS’s approach to Tea Party political organizations seeking tax exemption status on Tuesday. The House’s Grand Witch Hunter, Darrell Issa dumped the document two days before Christmas, either as a present to the White House or to cover up the fact that he has wasted years and countless tax dollars tilting at windmills. This is the second such admission in little over a month, as the House High Inquisition reported there was nothing to see in Benghazi. The New York Times reports, An 18-month congressional investigation into the Internal Revenue Service’s mistreatment of conservative political groups seeking tax exemptions failed to show coordination between agency officials and political operatives in the White House, according to a report released on Tuesday. Republican lawmakers, dismissing the Obama administration’s denials, have suggested that the delays were not only politically motivated but also orchestrated by the White House. Some of the most strident comments have come from Representative Darrell Issa, Republican of California and the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, which has issued subpoenas to compel testimony from administration officials and held a series of tumultuous hearings on the I.R.S. scandal. Mr. Issa, who is stepping down from the chairmanship, has accused the I.R.S. commissioner of engaging in a Watergate-style cover-up and accused administration officials of obstructing his investigation. In a parting shot, Mr. Issa released the 226-page summary of the panel’s findings on Tuesday. It said that language used in emails collected by the committee suggested that I.R.S. officials in the tax-exemption unit were trying to find ways to penalize groups they disliked. In all, the investigation’s millions of documents and dozens of interviews with Obama administration officials “show I.R.S. officials failed to limit their professional judgments to enforcing the tax code and instead inserted their own beliefs and judgments into federal matters to influence outcomes and decisions,” the report said. As Stephen Colbert once told President Bush, “And reality has a well-known liberal bias.” Lol, By: Marc Belisle
