Second hint: they are not so "lower-level".

Please, there are at least a few of us government employees who believe that government is too big, inefficient (at best), taking in too much in taxes. I agree that there are too many in the other departments (HUD, HHS, EPA, and others) who are overly agenda-driven.

Make Lisa pay back the some $45,000 in bonuses as well. But then again, she is an example of their first talking points, a "low level" employee (making over $175,000). Far more than I make.

Actually, Nixon tried to use the IRS. They were more ethical then and did not target the foes.

"The staffers have already been disciplined." Seems like only a few days ago that we were told an emphatic NO when the IRS was asked if anyone would be disciplined. Which story is accurate?

Forgotten also, the "low-level" son of a Democrat Tennessee state representative who hacked Sarah Palin's personal email account.

The IRS would like to apologize for that," she added. This is NOT an apology. I would LIKE to have a billion dollars, I have a bit less than that (a large bit less, actually).

What do they have against women over 65? Are they at war with senior women?

Thank you for the nightmare image. I wonder if Hillary would recognize this: " 8.making or causing to be made false or misleading public statements for the purpose of deceiving the people of the United States into believing that a thorough and complete investigation had been conducted with respect to allegations of misconduct on the part of personnel of the executive branch of the United States and personnel of the Committee for the Re-election of the President, and that there was no involvement of such personnel in such misconduct:" or this: "6.endeavouring to misuse the Central Intelligence Agency, an agency of the United States" Ask Mr. Nixon to refresh her memory!

There was NO apology given despite the headline. I once took a flight from San Francisco to Chicago, which was diverted to Milwaukee. The announcement came on "We WOULD LIKE to welcome you to Chicago's O'Hare Airport but this is Milwaukee." Likewise this: said Lois Lerner, the head of the IRS division that oversees tax-exempt groups. "The IRS WOULD LIKE (emphasis added) to apologize for that." BTW, pilots and crews, this is a pet peeve of mine, would like is not the same as welcome to. On the more serious vein, read the articles of impeachment drawn up against Mr. Nixon. Article 2 section 1 concerns the use of the IRS as a political weapon.
