    I'm all for that in triplicate.... Koskinen should have been drawn and quartered in front of the IRS building.

    Then why would Lois Lerner want to keep her testimony secret and away from public assess claiming her life would be endangered? What in her testimony would jeopardize her?

    Trump: Well, he lied. He got us into the war with lies. And, I mean, look at the trouble Bill Clinton got into with something that was totally unimportant. And they tried to impeach him, which was nonsense. And, yet, Bush got us into this horrible war with lies, by lying, by saying they had weapons of mass destruction, by saying all sorts of things that turned out not to be true.

    (CROSSTALK)

    Blitzer: Their argument is, they weren’t lying, that that was the intelligence that he was presented, and it was not as if he was just lying about it.

    Trump: I don’t believe that.

    There was a reason that the committee investigating this didn’t take it any further. You should read up on it.

    In a nutshell........

    Question - “Mrs Lerner, did you or your office investigate any 401c applications to the IRS from Tea Party groups”
    Answer - “Yes we did. We also investigated many other 401c applications including liberal leaning groups”
    Republicans - “THE IRS IS BIAS AND INVESTIGATED TEA PARTY GROUPS !!!”

    I don’t know why she claimed that she thought her life would be in jeopardy. Maybe she received death threats.

    Let’s not make what happened today in any way about the actual investigation. It’s NOT. This was Jeff Sessions “admitting” that the IRS targeted Tea Party groups. And he is paying those groups a LOT of money. If you don’t see that this is just another way that the administration is filling the coffers of their own party, and making a PR hit on democrats then your not paying attention.

    I have to give it to them, this was genius. They have people really believing that the IRS was used by the Obama administration to target republicans. And nothing could be further from the truth.

    charities used names with things like Tea party party in their name and the IRS set them aside to review and see if they were political... common sense based on the name as political groups do not qualify
