— Ace Livestream.
The Democrats only want to discuss whether the 501(c)4 rules should be tightened, that is, they don't want to talk about politically targeting at all. They are coming very, very close to flat-out justifying Obama's IRS' actions.
Some small news: Steve Miller now admits the question asked of Lori Lerner was planted, walking back his previous ambiguity.
The author of the IG Report notes that the IRS staffers who denied a political motivation in their targeting did so not under oath.
Not under oath? There's almost no point in asking questions, then.

Not surprising, that's been the spin almost from day one. It's a standard "blame the victim" strategy.

Not watching now but last week's testimony by Miller was one of the worst I've ever seen:
" I don't know" repeatedly
" I don't understand your question"
" Perhaps"
"Should Be"
" I think so"
Good God I wanted to jump through my screen and smack his stupid ass. I will assume that today's is no better.

SEQUESTER DID IT! (well he didn't say that he blamed the budget as a whole and asked for more resoruces.)
I'd note again DoD has 2X as many furlough days as IRS, so he can fuck himself.

The point of putting someone under oath would be that they could be prosecuted for perjury if they lied. If they are not under oath, then they can lie without any consequences.

Of course! That's what they want to do.
"It was the fault of the organizations to be seeking tax exempt status as a 501(c)(4) in the first place. As overt political organizations, they shouldn't have been doing so! The IRS was simply exercising proper oversight!"
No mention given to the scads of progressive orgs that were passed in that same time period. No mention given to orgs already in operation that are 501(c)(4)s. No mention of the timing of this IRS scrutiny, nor the crass political leanings of the Treasury union whose members took part in the stonewalling and harassment.
My hate is so strong, it burns.

That is not too much of an issue anymore since they made it a felony to lie to a federal officer or congress. The only thing the oath does it make it perjury which has a stiffer punishment,.

The rules are so tight no one can figure them out. Tightening them further does nothing.
Trash the whole tax code and start fresh. It should fit on one sheet of letter-sized paper, double-sided and double spaced.

I think it's safe to say that's all the Democrats will be doing. It's not the IRS's fault, it's the Tea Party's fault (for being there to be targeted), it's sequester's fault (never mind that this started back in 2010), it's the law's fault (to which their answer is to make the law yet more confusing).
If the Democrats admit that the IRS was actively in the wrong on this, then the investigation will creep up, and eventually it will land on TFG's desk.
It's like why they won't answer the question of where SCOAMT was when the Benghazi attack was occurring. There is no answer good enough- either he was present (that is: in the Situation Room or otherwise connected real-time to events), in which case he ordered the Stand Down (or it was ordered on his behalf and he did not object), or he was *not* present, and was therefore derelict in his duty. Neither of those are good options, so they simply refuse to pick one.

Did you know that it is a crime to tell a lie to the federal government? Even if your lie is oral and not under oath? Even if you have received no warnings of any kind? Even if you are not trying to cheat the government out of money? Even if the government is not actually misled by your falsehood? Well it is.
Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001 makes it a crime to: 1) knowingly and willfully; 2) make any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement or representation; 3) in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative or judicial branch of the United States.

Line 2: Copy amount on Line 1. This is the amount of tax you owe.

Think of the fun you could have with this, though, if you were testifying before a dirtbag. You could constantly refer to your interlocutor as "the Honorable Congressman" and subtly emphasize the "Honorable" with a slightly sardonic tone.

18 U.S.C. § 1001 : US Code - Section 1001: Statements or entries generally
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully -
(1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact;
(2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or
(3) makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry;
shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years or, if the offense involves international or domestic terrorism (as defined in section 2331), imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both.
(b) Subsection (a) does not apply to a party to a judicial proceeding, or that party's counsel, for statements, representations, writings or documents submitted by such party or counsel to a judge or magistrate in that proceeding.
(c) With respect to any matter within the jurisdiction of the legislative branch, subsection (a) shall apply only to -
(1) administrative matters, including a claim for payment, a matter related to the procurement of property or services, personnel or employment practices, or support services, or a document required by law, rule, or regulation to be submitted to the Congress or any office or officer within the legislative branch; or
(2) any investigation or review, conducted pursuant to the authority of any committee, subcommittee, commission or office of the Congress, consistent with applicable rules of the House or Senate.
What it boils down to is it is a felony to lie to any government official except a judge or the court (if you are not sworn in)
It is a felony to lie to congress.
If convicted of same it is 5 years in jail which I think is the same as for perjury. Unless the lie involves terrorism and then it is 8 years in jail.
LOOK OUT HILLARY Benghazi was terrorism. Is that why they maintain it was a spontaneous riot over the film?

158Maher is against gun control simply because he once tried to blow his brains out with a .22 and missed.

In his defense, it'd take quite a markman to hit that itty bitty target.

My sister was just telling me this morning, that a friend of hers in Cali, who has been out of work for years, was offered a job in a "southern state" and he turned it down because it's the "south." She said he rambled on about the conservatives, and the religious zealots in the "south."
He turned down a job he badly needed (living with his sister), because it was "in the south."

Good. We don't need his kind here.

I have those a number of times a week for over a month now. Always comes on at a critical moment in dialogue. And I don't get why they can't turn the sound back on while their little banner scrolls slowly across the screen -- three times.
The whole Emergency Broadcast System is a joke. I never heard from it on 9/11, and I think that qualified as an 'emergency'.

The US directly arming AQ? Yea that could be troublesome...maybe. We've said we didn't negotiate with terrorists. Nobody ever explicitly disclaimed gifting weapons to them though.
Expecting that you'll be able to buy your gifted weapons back from the terrorists is pretty optimistic and naive. That such a mindset could exist is a scandal in itself
Still, it sounds far too good to be true. A scandal that kneecaps Obama very badly (assuming he continues with his Sgt.Schultz imitation) and removes Hillary from the political landscape forever at the same time?
I gotta see this to believe it.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The man who led the Internal Revenue Service when it was giving extra scrutiny to tea party and other conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status told Congress on Tuesday that he knew little about what was happening while he was still commissioner.
Douglas Shulman, who vacated his position last November when his five-year term expired, told the Senate Finance Committee he didn't learn all the facts until he read last week's report by a Treasury inspector general confirming the targeting strategy.
In his first public remarks since the story broke, Shulman said: "I agree this is an issue that when someone spotted it, they should have brought it up the chain. And they didn't. I don't know why."
How much was this guy paid to have absolutely no knowledge of what was going on?

Yes. That is correct.
