Obama Administration's IRS Scandal is Alone Worthy of Impeachment

"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."First off, the Obama Administration did not bug phone lines and conversation rooms. What happened was the Justice Department subpoenaed the phone records of AP reporters in search of a leaker of a classified report, and they overstepped their authority by quite a large margin. Secondly, there is no 'truth' to the Benghazi scandal, the Benghazi scandal is nothing more then the breakdown of adding security measures at one of thousands of US embassy's that Republicans chose to make a big deal out of just to make Obama look bad. There is no conspiracy or truth that AP somehow knows about, thats just bullsh*t. "They listen on every conversation, spying on honest journalists, and stealing their documents and abusing their first amendment rights." Literally none of that is true....."The DOJ had no excuse for these actions, except to illegally classify the reporters as criminals, which was an abuse of power."Nobody has been classified as a criminal though, all that happened was a crapload of phone records were seized for a single investigation by the DOJ which turned out to be a simple overstepping of government authority.... "Even still being investigated, the Obama administration has its hands too dirty in this mess to climb out without using more corruption"Complete speculation and nothing more then an idiotic and unsupported conspiracy theory"If this, a scandal a hundred times worse than the Watergate yet of same structure"Ok now youre just being retarded.... "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)."Your first source is a biased website who goes out of their way to try to make Obama look bad, and your second source is citing a letter written to Obama by Franklin Graham who thinks its a conspiracy just because the timing was a coincidence. Even if Kelly did meet with Obama, there is zero evidence to imply that a conspiracy was arranged and enacted in complete secrecy the very next day. "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."1) Its unknown if the targeting was done for political reasons so stop implying that it was when you continue to not back up such ludicrous claims with a shred of evidence....2) If anything this implies that this senior IRS official is to blame for this scandal and not Obama. "Alright, so to do a quick summary, we assume for near 100% certainty that Barack Obama knew about the targeting of Conservative groups."No we dont, youre the only one here who thinks that and your basing that conclusion off of absolutely no evidence at all. "I’m not going to digress and move to conspiracy theories,"Wait, NOW youre not going to move to conspiracy theories??? Your entire argument is one big bs conspiracy theory!"this questions the legitimacy of the Obama Administration, which in my opinion is corrupt to the core."Your 'opinion' is also the driving force behind your argument too, and frankly its barely grounded in reality at all"This was a list approved from the tippy-top"Unsubstantiated opinion..."From Obama Administration officials and senior IRS officials, and as we assume from the meeting, Obama approved it, too."Unsubstantiated opinion...=========================================================================Allow me to explain what has ACTUALLY happened regarding these scandals of the AP phone records and the IRS targeting the Tea Party since pro doesnt seem to have any idea of what is really going on:AP Phones: The Department of Justice subpoenaed a crap load of phone records as part of a case trying to track down a lead that leaked something classified to AP themselves. However they subpoenaed WAY more then they needed and overstepped the boundary of how much they could legally subpoena. This is a misstep of the Department of Justice who are accountable for this act, Obama has absolutely nothing to do with it and the claim that AP was silenced to keep the truth of Bengazi from coming to light is something only a complete idiot would believe. http://www.foxnews.com...http://www.huffingtonpost.com...IRS targeting the Tea Party: The IRS placed extra scrutiny on granting tax exempted status to Tea Party organizations who were seeking it because it is the duty of the IRS to examine groups applying for tax exemption by claiming political freedom. The problem was they too overstepped the boundaries of what they were allowed to look into, but once again there is absolutely no evidence to suggest Obama put them up to this or that the extra scrutiny was done purely for political reasons. All that happened was that the IRS went overboard in collecting info about specific Tes Party groups seeking tax exempt status. http://www.washingtonpost.com...http://news.yahoo.com...All in all, there is not a shred of evidence that conclusively shows that Obama personally ordered either of these incidents to be carried out. Instead what happened was that different agencies of government significantly overstepped their authority in doing their job, meaning that if anyone is to be scrutinized or punished it is the agencies that committed the crimes in first place, and not President Barack Obama.Obama is not responsible for the messes, and he didnt create them either. Therefore the IRS scandal and the AP phone records scandal falls drastically short of being an impeachable offense for Obama, and those who think so are either political hacks or have no idea what really happened in the scandals.
