    Is that why Republicans keep trying to steal elections?

    I knew there was a catch.After reading down further.
    I wonder what Jay Sekulow has to say.He personally represented around
    40 groups.One reason this was settled now is to help clear Obama's
    name.Remember he allowed Lerner to pull her stunts and then retire and
    in peace & quiet and with her pension intact.Obama also had the effrontery
    to say to Bill O'Reilly there's " not a smidgen of corruption " in his IRS.
    Obama made that claim while the IRS was still under Investigation.
    O'Reilly wondered out loud about that to his audience.Could explain why
    he's no longer At Fox.He got Framed { a standard Obama vehicle for payback }.
    So they come clean about how Conservatives WERE unfairly targeted and
    awarded some pittance amount.WHILE also awarding some Liberal Groups.
    This may be a way for Obama,The Monster President, to squirm out form yet another
    tight fix.Like he's done with his Deep State and Spying on Trump and Co.

    The Obama DOJ was NOT going to charge and prosecute anyone from the getgo, the entire effort was to NOT prosecute.

    Another democrat LIE.We saw in Florida what Party had Corrupt
    Election Supervisors.The one Gal { Brenda Snipes } the Broward County
    Elections Supervisor quit the start of the new year.Instead face the ramifications
    of a New Governor who might want to have her Investigated.
    Does the Name Melowese Richardson ring a dinghy.?
    Research it.The Democrat Cincinnatti Pol worker was sentenced
    to 5 years in Jail for Vote Tampering.
    Name One Republican sentenced for Vote Fraud.?
    How about a Congressman.
    Jim Moran { Virginia Congressman } was forced into Retirement
    after his son Patrick who was his Campaign Field Director was
    openly caught on Tape explaining how to go about registering false
    Voter ID's.Project Veritas exposed the Crook.

    This isn't a private corporation with limited funds and limited time and can be run out of business when someone of the government sues them. This is the most powerful entity in the world with unlimited time and unlimited money, it can just create it.

    And another thing.This may also be part of clearing Obama from any
    future attempts of his claim that his Presidency was virtually Free of
    Any Scandals.This settlement is partial proof that Obama did have
    Agency Scandals.The MSM just refused to report and follow-up on it.
    Like Never Once Interviewing Obama on what he was doing the night of
    the Benghazi attack.

    This ghostly white-haired black Elections Superviser from Broward
    County will be receiving a " cushy pension ". To the tune of $ 11,ooo per month.
    Or $ 130,ooo annually.Normal yearly salary was $ 178,800 yearly.
    Oh! ... her name is Brenda Snipes.

    Yes. And? Not sure what that has to do with what I said...

    They are massive and can create their own money (well, technically they can't. the Fed can, which is technically an independent component of the US Govt). How does that affect the fact that the groups in question were offered money in a settlement and rather then push the principle of the issue, they took it.?

    They’re being paid because republicans in charge decided to pay to hype up the fake scandal.
    Are you saying all payouts are proof of criminal activitu?

    Not that the Obama DOJ would present anything to. He should have fired her the second she said "On advise of counsel I take the 5th".

    I need to start a non-profit called "Democrats for profit" -- then complain when they put my request aside because it might be political, as that is why the groups with "tea party" in there name got addl review

    common sense says do not give your group a political name if you want to be fast tracked through the process as political groups do not qualify

    His subordinate refusing to testify due to self incrimination over her official actions? Why would he keep her employed and running that IRS not only because of the criminal aspect but because she was refusing the Congress it's duty and role in oversight of the IRS?

    Should it be illegal for govt officials to plead the fifth or do you want that RIGHT removed from the constitution all together?

    WOW! I didn't know there was such a suit. This is equivalent to a guy accused of criminal murder being let off only to be found guilty in a civil trial of contributing to the death of....

    Of course, the hapless Jeff Sessions could have ordered an investigation of IRS crimes. He chose to do nothing. Do Nothing Jeff.

    Evidence had been destroyed and she was pleading the 5th but at least the groups she went after are receiving retribution.
