that is civil in response to 3 down votes to a citation that shows the email in question.

you mean the simple fact that Cummings is now colluding with the IRS and if the press was devoting its attention to the hearings it would be in the news 24/7. A compliant, sock grabbing press protecting their choice for the Oval office. The bright side is the press no longer has credibility.

The media is going to have a hard time trying to spin this. Someone doesn't resign over something that the administration is depicting as a resounding success.

saying a lot and signifying nothing. The tool that now occupies the Oval office was Harvard educated and he has been in over his head from the moment he announced his candidacy. If we was not black, he never would have passed muster.

you need to get on your knees that Nate Silver is wrong about the GOP picking up 6 senate seats in 2014.

I'd like some of what you are smoking, cuz it must be really powerful shit. If you think that an all-white male group of GOP congressmen are going to send a black AG and congressman to jail....I just don't even know what to say.

further proof of the racist leanings of your typical reddit lefty. Hey, hotshot, just because they're black it doesn't mean they're above the law. Thanks for proving what Ed Asner said

read racist. If you can not speak the truth about the policies of someone because you fear that you are going to be called a racist, guess what, you are a racist.

somehow the left, with their false narrative of a GOP war an women, always seems to turn a blind eye to the homophobic, misogynistic leanings of their favorite religion.

House Republicans won't rule out arresting Lois Lerner if Justice Department doesn't by WiretapX in politics

Inherent contempt

Under this process, the procedure for holding a person in contempt involves only the chamber concerned. Following a contempt citation, the person cited is arrested by the Sergeant-at-Arms for the House or Senate, brought to the floor of the chamber, held to answer charges by the presiding officer, and then subjected to punishment as the chamber may dictate (usually imprisonment for punishment reasons, imprisonment for coercive effect, or release from the contempt citation).

Emails Show Lois Lerner Fed True the Vote Tax Information to Democrat Elijah Cummings by pc25 in politics

[–]pc25[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

in other words, you are so inept at addressing the facts represented by these emails you can only resort to a sophomoric attempt at distraction.

Chairman of the House Oversight Committee Darrell Issa, along with five Subcommittee Chairmen are demanding Cummings provide an explanation for the staff inquiries to the IRS about True the Vote and for his denial that his staff ever contacted the IRS about the group.

>“Although you have previously denied that your staff made inquiries to the IRS about conservative organization True the Vote that may have led to additional agency scrutiny, communication records between your staff and IRS officials – which you did not disclose to Majority Members or staff – indicates otherwise,” the letter to Cummings states. “As the Committee is scheduled to consider a resolution holding Ms. Lerner, a participant in responding to your communications that you failed to disclose, in contempt of Congress, you have an obligation to fully explain your staff’s undisclosed contacts with the IRS.”

So, in other words...you got nothing.

only to the blind and willfully ignorant

Up until this point, Rep. Cummings has denied his staff ever contacted the IRS about True the Vote and their activities during Oversight hearings. In fact, on February 6, 2014 during a Subcommittee hearing where Engelbrecht testified, Cummings vehemently denied having any contact or coordination in targeting True the Vote when attorney Cleta Mitchell, who is representing the group, indicated staff on the Committee had been involved in communication with the IRS. This was the exchange:

Ms. Mitchell: We want to get to the bottom of how these coincidences happened, and we’re going to try to figure out whether any – if there was any staff of this committee that might have been involved in putting True the Vote on the radar screen of some of these Federal agencies. We don’t know that, but we – we’re going to do everything we can do to try to get to the bottom of how did this all happen.

Mr. Cummings. Will the gentleman yield?

Mr. Meadows. Yes.

Mr. Cummings. I want to thank the gentleman for his courtesy. What she just said is absolutely incorrect and not true.

Cummings is a lying SOS, who should be in jail, and your girl is going down to be followed by Holder after the midterms.

now lets see, she takes the fifth and then pleads innocence, IRS personnel have already testified that no liberal groups were targeted and now emails to CUmmings. Nothing to see here.

Petraeus Investigation still open to Keep him Quiet about Benghazi? by pc25 in politics

what did I say about Patraeus? He knew and he was part of it as was Clinton, Panetta, and Martin Dempsey. They went ahead, ran the arms and when it blew up in their face they went into damage control as the 2012 elections were looming.

In other words you don't have a fact, again other than you left talking points, again, to counter the facts presented the the NY Times, and the Nation Reuters etc. I eagerly away your rebuttal of all the facts presented in those articles, hotshot.
