LargeLast week, while much of the nation’s attention was turned toward the Zimmerman verdict and the antics of the racial grievance industry, the IRS scandal got far more intense. According to top IRS lawyer Carter Hull, the Chief Counsel’s office of the IRS, headed by Obama appointee William Wilkins, was instrumental in the agency’s campaign of harassment and discrimination against conservative and certain pro-Israel groups. In interviews, Hull informed congressional investigators that his superiors told him that Wilkins’ office would need to be involved in additional reviews of previously screened applications because of “potential political activity.” Thus, the Democrat-led effort to keep this scandal confined to a few “rogue” agents in Cincinnati has gone down in flames.
Wilkins, appointed by Obama in 2009, is one of only two political appointees in the entire agency made by the president. In the Inspector General’s (IG) report on the scandal, the timeline of events established that Wilkins knew about the abuse of conservative groups at least as early as August 4, 2011. Yet in a press conference held on May 15, 2013, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was asked if Wilkins had shared that information with the White House. Carney said he didn’t know, and when pressed about whether the president should have been informed, he said that Obama first learned about the scandal “through media reports” on Friday, May 10. In other words, Americans are expected to believe that Wilkins never said a word to the president about this dubious targeting of right-wing groups for the 21 months (or more) that he was aware of it.

Certainly Obama claims the words of famed Sgt. Schultz. Just as the IRS scandal is getting strong it seems that all documentation referring to the IRS release of Christine O'Donnell's personal and private information seems to have mysteriously disappeared.

frontpage.com and David Horowitz have zero credibility, so I',m just going to ignore this post.

Neither FrontPageMagazine or Robert Horowitz are reliable sources so I will just ignore this post.
 
I get a kick out of radical leftist that just want to ignore facts because their lame stream media is too biased to report it; rather than ignore why not refute? Oh wait; that'd be hard to do and we all know radical leftist can't do anything "hard" can they.
