Obama Administration's IRS Scandal is Alone Worthy of Impeachment

The reason why the Watergate scandal had such a resonance with history was because nobody thought that their President would be so desperate to win an election that he would bug phones, conversation rooms, and steal documents at Democrat headquarters in Watergate Hotel. It was an event which would mark Nixon’s presidency for the rest of his life. It smudged him and his descendants’ character for decades. Not wanting to be the second President ever to be impeached, President Nixon resigned from the Presidency, avoiding impeachment (7). Forty years later, in the wake of the Benghazi Scandal, the Obama Administration authorizes agents to bug phone lines and conversation rooms in the Associated Press. Not only that, they steal thousands and thousands of phone records, documents, and files from journalists that they thought would potentially expose the truth of the Benghazi Scandal. They listen on every conversation, spying on honest journalists, and stealing their documents and abusing their first amendment rights. The DOJ had no excuse for these actions, except to illegally classify the reporters as criminals, which was an abuse of power. Even still being investigated, the Obama administration has its hands too dirty in this mess to climb out without using more corruption. If this, a scandal a hundred times worse than the Watergate yet of same structure, is not enough to get a president impeached, then I don’t know what is. (8) However, I’ll continue on with a favorite of all juicy scandals. The date is March 31, 2010. IRS Union Boss Colleen Kelly visits the White House for a secret meeting with President Obama and White House Officials (1). One day later, IRS begins the deliberate targeting of Conservative political groups, pro-life ministries, and non-profit charity organizations such as Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (2). The following questions arise: Why were they there? Was it simply a coincidence? Did Obama know from the start? Well, we tried to get answers from a Senior IRS official who was there, and knew about the illegal targeting of non-profit organizations for political reasons, at a Congressional hearing. Of course, instead of getting answers, we got non-cooperation. “Pleading the Fifth”, as everyone calls it. Alright, so to do a quick summary, we assume for near 100% certainty that Barack Obama knew about the targeting of Conservative groups. Maybe he’ll own up about it, and admit his faults, and everyone will be happy again! Right? Well, no. In Mr. President’s exact words to the press, he said that he learned about it while “Watching TV” “Last Friday” (4). Remember that this wasn’t simply a few non-profit groups that were accidentally taxed by low-level officials as Obama administration officials want you to think. Approved from the top, Senior IRS Officials and Obama’s cabinet, was a list of criteria to target non-profit organizations. Of these included: ~Any group that referenced words such as “Tea Party”, “Patriots”, or “9/12 Project” in their case file. ~Any group that outlined issues in the application that included government spending, government debt, or taxes. ~Any group that did advocating or lobbying to “Make America a Better Place to Live”. ~Any group that had statements in their case file that criticize how the country is being run. ~Any group that advocated education about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. ~Any group that was focused on challenging Obamacare. ~Any group that questioned the integrity of federal elections. (5) Remember this is a list of criteria. Who is going to be directly targeted by the IRS in election season. I’m not going to digress and move to conspiracy theories, but this questions the legitimacy of the Obama Administration, which in my opinion is corrupt to the core. This was a list approved from the tippy-top. From Obama Administration officials and senior IRS officials, and as we assume from the meeting, Obama approved it, too. This is in direct violation of IRS protocol and federal law (6). It is criminal, and the people responsible must be held responsible, which is why I believe that this scandal is enough to impeach the Obama Administration. (1) . http://www.thegatewaypundit.com...
