Reports now by a St Louis reporter that after he asked tough questions of Obama in early 2012, he was subjected to unusual IRS scrutiny. If this is true, then we have a direct connection from Obama to intimidation of media by using the IRS. If this connection is made, it alone is sufficient for impeachment and should be backed by anybody who believes in freedom of press.

Using the IRS to intimidate people is naughty but not a High Crime.

You will have to prove Obama took a bribe from the Chinese.

I have alread explained that I'm sure that Biden know well that his Duty
to America is simply weather the emergency (if Obama's demise came from
some white supremacist, the mother of all race riots begins...) then
nominate an agreed-upon VP then resign (more or less how Gerald Ford
became the lone unelected US President...)

Yes. You do not get US Presidents on minor grounds.

Where there is one crime there are frequently others. Possibly bigger
ones. These crimes are likely to involve the same people in or near the
White House. (The IRS intimidations was performed using minor civil
servants a long way from the White House.)

And certainly not when it appears that emails used in evidence against
him have been tampered with, as in the Benghazi thing.

Not the IRS one either where it seems that it was just the local tax
office being reasonably diligent about wingnuts looking for tax
breaks.

The one about the freedom of the press is interesting because in the
UK you wouldn't get much reaction from anyone if the government got
hold of the press's phone records to find out who'd been leaking
classified stuff to the media.

On the other hand there'd be absolutely no doubt about who authorised
it either because a senior politician has to sign the warrant.

It would be if true, but apparently the St Louis anchorman (not reporter) is now admitting that his problems with the IRS predated his 2012 interview with Obama by a few years.

Are the IRS a police agency? Unless the person in question was placed
under arrest, I don't think it's a misuse of police power. Unless you
haveappropriate citations to show otherwise, I think this would be some
sort of governmental initimidation other than misuse of police power.

OK, So were any of the unwilling participants in this scandal visited
by these police agents or arrested? Have they appeared in tax court?
IIRC, the actions taken seem to have been limited to bureaucratic delays
and some audits.

Standard approach to a question of detail. Spread the net to include
the original assertion.

LOL! The whole point of picking nits is that it prevents an annoying
propagation of innacurate statements----much as picking real nits
prevents a future infestation of blood-sucking fleas.

OK, I guess I wasn't nit-picking by that definition, since I stuck to
the premise to which I responded---that the IRS problems were an abuse
of police power. Here is is you that is shifing from abuse of
police power to the broader concept of "misconduct under color of law".


By the way, despite your allegation, you never did answer my question:

"OK, So were any of the unwilling participants in this scandal visited
by these police agents or arrested? Have they appeared in tax court? "
These questions are pertinent to the original question of whether the
IRS actions were an abuse of police power.
