On the bright side, Obama didn’t lie – there’s not a smidgen of corruption at the IRS… there is a ton.
Adding to the ever-widening list of wrongdoings by the IRS, a report from the OSC said it was pursuing cases for illegal political activity against three IRS employees and issued a cautionary guidance to all IRS employees in the Dallas Taxpayer Assistance Center. I’m sure people will be held accountable . . . and promptly promoted….
Even as the IRS faces growing heat over Lois G. Lerner and the tea party targeting scandal, a government watchdog said Wednesday it’s pursuing cases against three other tax agency employees and offices suspected of illegal political activity in support of President Obama and fellow Democrats.
In one case the Office of Special Counsel, which investigates federal employees who conduct politics on government time, said it was “commonplace” in a Dallas IRS office for employees to have pro-Obama screensavers on their computers, and to have campaign-style buttons and stickers at their office.
In another case, a worker at the tax agency’s customer help line urged taxpayers “to re-elect President Obama in 2012 by repeatedly reciting a chant based on the spelling of his last name,” the Office of Special Counsel said in a statement.
Wait, repeatedly reciting a chant based on Obama’s name? But it’s not a cult.
OSC said it is seeking “significant disciplinary action” against that employee.
Another IRS employee in Kentucky has agreed to serve a 14-day suspension for blasting Republicans in a conversation with a taxpayer.
Does this really surprise anyone? Laws and following rules are for the little people and those that disagree with this administration. Especially considering the fact that Holder said he had a vast amount’ of discretion in enforcing federal laws, it wouldn’t shock me to learn that there are plenty of other people in the most The Most Transparent Administration Evah™ that feel the same way.
