Democrats Turn on IRS; Compare IRS Scandal to Totalitarian Regimes
As the House Oversight Committee commenced its hearing on the IRS Scandal
Wednesday, it was clear that Democrats, visibly angered by the decision of
IRS Exempt Organizations director Lois Lerner to answer questions, turned on
the agency. Lerner invoked her Fifth Amendment right against
self-incrimination.
In a fiery statement, Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA), cited the State
Department's annual human rights report, and the practice of tyrannical
regimes that enact human rights on paper but fail to honor them in practice.
He compared the conduct of the IRS in singling out Tea Party and
conservative groups to those regimes.
The witnesses were then sworn in. Lerner read an opening statement in which
she denied providing false information to the committee or any other body:
"I have not done anything wrong," she said defiantly.

When governments fail on this level, it is most likely because you have a
bunch of incompetent felons in Congress.
Look who is actually responsible for wide-scale government oversight at the
federal level.
CONVICTED FELON Darrell Issa is chair of the Oversight Committee.
The classic fox watching the hen house.
Forget the fact that MANY Of the 535 members of Congress are incompetent
boobs which should disqualify them for office, were it not for an illiterate
electorate putting them in office.
Some of these assholes are CONVICTED FELONS like Issa, which should be an
automatic bar to office.
Of course, Issa is one, if not the richest, member of Congress.

The Enraged Apostate
Right-wing talking points show a popular appeal in
the same way that trainwrecks are morbidly fascinating.
But soon after the desire to be horrified at the spectacle passes,
the realization soon follows that it is all an ugly, bloody mess,
and it will only be cleaned up with leftist methods and a liberal in charge.

Suspected Arson
1982: Issa Suspected, But Never Charged, In Arson Incident At
Manufacturing Plant. According to the Los Angeles Times: "A suspected
arson fire ripped through [Issa's Ohio] manufacturing plant in 1982. No
one was ever charged in the fire, but authorities were troubled by a
dramatic escalation in the facility's fire insurance just weeks earlier.
Even before the blaze was put out, investigators began peppering Issa
and his partner with 'crazy questions' regarding their whereabouts
before the fire, Issa recalled." [Los Angeles Times, 5/23/98, via Nexis,
emphasis added]
Prior To Fire, Issa "Boosted" Fire Insurance And Removed A Computer
From The Premises. According to the Los Angeles Times: "Weeks before
the fire, Issa and [business partner] Hunsinger boosted their fire
insurance from $ 100,000 to $ 462,000 on property stored for other
companies...At the same time, a separate company that contracted with
Quantum to outfit bug zappers increased its insurance to $ 400,000, and,
according to an insurance report, one investigator was 'concerned about
the coincidence.' Fire investigators also noted that a computer was
taken off the site eight days before the fire, 'allegedly to be
reprogrammed' by Issa's lawyer, and that business blueprints were put
away in a safe--which was 'not previously done before.'" [Los Angeles
Times, 5/23/98, via Nexis]
"Suspicious Burn Patterns" And "Out Of Normal Practice" Behavior Alerted
Investigators. The Washington Post reported: "Investigators reported
'suspicious burn patterns' and said the fire may have been set. A
company bookkeeper, Karen Brasdovich, also told them that computers and
records had been removed from the site days before the fire for no clear
reason. 'It was totally out of normal practice,' she said in a telephone
interview last week." [Washington Post via FTLComm.com, 7/8/03]
AC Custom Fire: Flammable Liquid Had "Been Poured On The Only Area Not
Covered By Fire Sprinklers." The Los Angeles Times reported that "seven
months after Issa took control," a fire broke out at the "Quantum
manufacturing plant." "Case files from Maple Heights, the Ohio fire
marshal and insurers pointed repeatedly to the likelihood of arson in
the blaze, which officials estimated caused $ 800,000 in damage.
Although an accident could not be ruled out, the uneven and unnatural
burn patterns made the blaze 'suspicious in nature,' the state concluded
two months later. Flammable liquid appeared to have been poured on the
only area not covered by fire sprinklers, investigators found." [Los
Angeles Times, 5/23/98, via Nexis, emphasis added]
Intimidation With A Weapon
Former AC Custom Executive Claimed Issa Intimidated Him With A Gun.
According to the Los Angeles Times: "One of Issa's first tasks as the
new boss [of AC Custom] was to remove an executive named Jack Frantz.
According to Frantz, Issa came into his office, placed a small box on
the desk and opened it. Inside, he said, was a gun." [Los Angeles Times,
5/23/98, via Nexis]
Issa Allegedly Used Intimidation To Fire Executive Frantz.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Frantz claimed, "'He just showed
[the gun] to me and said 'You know what this is?' Issa invited Frantz to
hold the gun at one point and told him he had learned about guns and
explosives during his military days, Frantz said. Because he was about
to be fired, Frantz said he saw it as 'pure intimidation.'" [Los Angeles
Times, 5/23/98, via Nexis]
Former AC Custom Bookkeeper: "It Was Pretty Terrifying." According
to the Los Angeles Times: "The bookkeeper, [Karen] Brasdovich, also
recalled Issa having a gun at the company that day. 'It was pretty
terrifying,' she said." [Los Angeles Times, 5/23/98, via Nexis]
Issa On The Incident: "Shots Were Never Fired." The Los Angeles Times
reported: "Issa said, 'Shots were never fired. If I asked Jack to leave,
then I think I had every right to ask Jack to leave...I don't recall
having a gun. I really don't. I don't think I ever pulled a gun on
anyone in my life.'" [Los Angeles Times, 5/23/98, via Nexis, emphasis added]
Auto Theft & Weapons Charges
Issa "Twice Arrested In 1972 On Weapons Charges." According to the San
Francisco Chronicle: "Issa was twice arrested in 1972 on weapons charges
-- once in Ohio, once in Michigan." [San Francisco Chronicle, 7/2/03]
Issa Was Convicted Of "Possession Of An Unregistered Handgun," Paid
Fine, And Served Probation. According to the San Francisco Chronicle:
"[W]hen Issa was attending college in Michigan, was fined $100 and put
on three months' probation after being arrested for possession of an
unregistered handgun, Michigan court records show." [San Francisco
Chronicle, 7/2/03]
1972: Issa Was Arrested For Auto Theft. According to the New York Times:
"In 1972, [Darrell Issa] and his brother William were arrested in the
theft of a Maserati from a Cleveland car dealership." [New York Times,
7/23/03]
1972: Issa Also Charged With "Carrying A Concealed Weapon." According to
the San Francisco Chronicle: "Court records...show that in March 1972,
one month after getting out of the Army, Issa was arrested on charges of
carrying a concealed weapon and auto theft. The court file doesn't
indicate the type of weapon involved." [San Francisco Chronicle, 7/2/03]
Auto Theft, Concealed Weapons Charges Were Ultimately Dropped. According
to the San Francisco Chronicle: "In May 1972, a grand jury indicted Issa
on a larceny charge in connection with the car theft but dropped the
weapons charge. Two weeks later, a prosecutor dropped the car theft
charge as well." [San Francisco Chronicle, 7/2/03]
Charges Were Dropped Despite Witness Reports. According to the Los
Angeles Times, "a witness reported seeing [Darrell and William Issa]
pushing the sports car down the street just before midnight, records and
interviews show. But the charges were dismissed--months before the older
brother, [William], was convicted of stealing another car amid a string
of offenses." [Los Angeles Times, 5/23/98, via Nexis]
Issa On His "Indiscretions"
Issa Blamed Past Discretions On Youth. According to the New York Times,
Issa said: "Look, I was a kid. What would you rather have? A
cardboard-cutout who never made a mistake when he was young only to
become governor and then carry on like a juvenile delinquent?" [New York
Times, 7/23/03]
Issa Blamed Older Brother For Run-Ins With The Law. According to the New
York Times: "'I love my older brother Billy,' said Mr. Issa, explaining
that he got caught in the orbit of his ne'er-do-well brother who has
five felony convictions for car theft and is currently unemployed in
Cleveland. 'He stole a lot of cars. He stole my car. You could say that
drew me to the car alarm business. Poetic justice.'" [New York Times,
7/23/03]
Issa Used Sarcasm To Downplay Checkered Past. In reference to reporters
inquiring about his past, Issa said in a New York Times article, "Some
day somebody's going to report on those little pineapple squares I
snitched at a party." [New York Times, 7/23/03]

http://dailycaller.com/2013/05/14/irs-official-lerner-approved-exemption-for-obama-brothers-charity/
Lois Lerner, the senior IRS official at the center of the decision to
target tea party groups for burdensome tax scrutiny, signed paperwork
granting tax-exempt status to the Barack H. Obama Foundation, a shady
charity headed by the president�s half-brother that operated illegally
for years.
According to the organization�s filings, Lerner approved the
foundation�s tax status within a month of filing, an unprecedented
timeline that stands in stark contrast to conservative organizations
that have been waiting for more than three years, in some cases, for
approval.
Lerner also appears to have broken with the norms of tax-exemption
approval by granting retroactive tax-exempt status to Malik Obama�s
organization.
The National Legal and Policy Center filed an official complaint with
the IRS in May 2011 asking why the foundation was being allowed to
solicit tax-deductible contributions when it had not even applied for an
IRS determination. In a New York Post article dated May 8, 2011, an
officer of the foundation admitted, �We haven�t been able to find
someone with the expertise� to apply for tax-exempt status.
Nevertheless, a month later, the Barack H. Obama Foundation had flown
through the grueling application process. Lerner granted the
organization a 501(c) determination and even gave it a retroactive tax
exemption dating back to December 2008.
The group�s available paperwork suggests an extremely hurried
application and approval process. For example, the group�s 990 filings
