Perhaps you will agree by now that “BO”
does not reveal the truth, he dissembles (look it up, people). More
generally, his administration's autocratic behavior is not that
unexpected: he is merely the latest in a long line of Presidents
advancing the cause of the Imperial Presidency
(if you have not already done so, now would be a good time to read
this classic polemic).
Perhaps you have noticed that “BO”s modus operandi is becoming
familiar:
- autocratic Presidential behavior
- keep a lid on it for as long as possible
- when the media pressure becomes irresistible, send out a flunkee who knows absolutely nothing about the matter to talk to the media and answer all of the questions
- try to hide the key operative(s) and keep them quiet
- protect and, if possible, promote same
This pattern applies to Solyndra, Fast 'N Furious, Benghazi, secretly
spying on AP and Fox News, and now the IRS' targeting of the TEA
Party.
Having been there, I can assure you that this type of bureaucratic
offensive does not generate spontaneously out of thin air above the
desk of a GS employee (even a “rogue” one). Someone in the chain
of command must have given the order. The as yet unanswered question
is: how far up the food chain does the command originate? Based on
“BO”s actions in regard to #4 and #5 above, my money is on Lois
Lerner: she headed the the EO Unit (which is the command staff under
which the Determinations Unit and Technical Units, the GRUNTS who
executed the orders, operate) during the scandalous actions, and has
been promoted to head the IRS command staff that is in charge of
implementing Obamacare.
One
point: the IRS is not an independent agency. It is an organic part of
the Treasury Dept. It is not logical that such shenanigans occurred
in the IRS, and that no
one
in Treasury knew about it. For this to be true, someone from the West
Wing would had to have gone completely around Treasury. Nota bene:
Treasury/ IRS is under the absolute control of the Executive Branch.
