The White House on Wednesday released 94 pages of emails between top administration and intelligence officials who helped shape the talking points about the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that the CIA would provide to policymakers in both the legislative and executive branches.
The documents, first reported by THE WEEKLY STANDARD in articles here and here, directly contradict claims by White House press secretary Jay Carney and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the revisions of those talking points were driven by the intelligence community and show heavy input from top Obama administration officials, particularly those at the State Department.

Now THAT'S working the system!!
If they'd changed it to "Solar Greenhouse Solutions", they probably could've gotten a few billion dollars in grants.
Here's another link to the same story: http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/con ... 24606.html*UPDATED* Congressman Nunes' office released the following statement: “Rep. Nunes was not referring to wiretapping of the cloakroom, but to the seizure of the AP’s phone records from the House Press Gallery in the Capitol. He was explaining that those records would reveal a lot of conversations between the press and members of Congress, since reporters often speak to Members from the press gallery phones. The notion of the DOJ looking at phone records from the Capitol of conversations between Members of Congress and reporters is something that concerns Rep. Nunes, bringing up issues related to the separation of powers.”
Congressman Devin Nunes (R-CA), who sits on the House Ways And Means Committee, dropped a bombshell on Hugh Hewitt’s Show, Wednesday night. Nunes was on the show to talk about his committee's upcoming hearing Friday into IRS-gate. The congressman broke news when he alleged that the Justice Department seized phone records from the House of Representatives as part of their investigation of the AP.
First you get the lap-dog reporters mad at you, then you tell Congress you were eavesdropping on their calls with those reporters......The Annoyed Man wrote:Oh it just KEEPS ON GETTING BETTER!!!!
I'll answer my own question....RoyGBiv wrote:Awesome.... What's next, I wonder.
I can hear Holder's back snapping.The Justice Department temporarily lost track of two known or suspected terrorists who were in the witness protection program -- and allowed others on the no-fly list to board commercial flights --
Hundreds of illegal immigrants with criminal records were released earlier this year as the Obama administration prepared for budget cuts, according to newly released data that challenged claims the program involved "low-risk" individuals.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement released the figures to two top senators, after a three-month delay and under the threat of congressional subpoenas.
Of the 2,226 detainees that were released in February, the department revealed, "622 have been identified as having some type of criminal conviction."
Sarah Hall Ingram served as commissioner of the office responsible for tax-exempt organizations between 2009 and 2012. But Ingram has since left that part of the IRS and is now the director of the IRS’ Affordable Care Act office, the IRS confirmed to ABC News today.
Wow, are they ready to deny healthcare to people involved in the Tea Party?“Obamacare empowers the agency that just violated the public’s trust by secretly targeting conservative groups,” Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., added. “Even by Washington’s standards, that’s unacceptable.”
seems to have no control over his department and the political attacks and influence is absolutely disgusting. There is no stopping this machine without dismantling it and implementing something new, I am convinced of this. The only workable solution in my opinion is the Fair Tax. A flat tax will not work since it is still an income tax and the IRS is still in power. This just gives jobs and money to lobbyists to re-create their "special" tax breaks for their masters, while congressmen are wined and dinned into submission. It will take time to get back to the level of corruption we see today, but mark my words a flat tax will be corrupt given enough time.Her successor at the Department of Conservative Persecution is the guy that just fell on his nonexistent sword. If that's what she did to Tea Party orgs, can you imagine how she'll deal with people who have vocally protested the moral bankruptcy of Obamacare? I'll be in deep clinkers if they ever read my posts on the subject on this forum.The Internal Revenue Service official in charge of the tax-exempt organizations at the time when the unit targeted tea party groups now runs the IRS office responsible for the health care legislation.
That is the plan, no other income for the feds except the Fair Tax. If they cannot live off of 24% of consumer sales and service of the whole United States they don't deserve to exist.The Annoyed Man wrote:If there was absolutely no other federal taxation, no fees, no surtaxes, no excise taxes, no anything, then I could support it.
I would suggest the folks living in Commieforni to move, let them tax the crack whores to pay for the crack whores. They'll figure it out eventually.The Annoyed Man wrote:And, you can't tell what the individual states are going to do. I seriously doubt you'll get California to give up its income tax, because that is how they punish the rich for being successful and redistribute their wealth to crack whores.
While that is a problem, tying their hands by making the tax visible to all the people goes a long way. If they want more revenue they have to show it on your receipt at the check out line, it would be pretty obvious if the tax went up overnight.The Annoyed Man wrote:The problem of course is, so what if you repeal the 16th? Congress will find a way to take your money in other ways, because that's what they do, and they don't pay that much attention to the Constitution anyway.
End the IRS!!! http://www.fairtax.org" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;The Annoyed Man wrote:Speaking of the IRS.......

That place is a den of vipers.
On Tuesday's program, Matthews similarly called Obama "a ship with the engine off."
