IRS Cover-Up Expands to Justice Department

IRS Cover-Up Expands to Justice Department - Breitbart:
In an interview with Bill O’Reilly of Fox News about a year ago, President Obama said that President Richard Nixon was actually more liberal in his policies than Obama is.
But, while comparing their policies, Obama conveniently left out one chilling similarity:  Both presidents used the virtually unbridled power and authority of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to target their political opponents.
In fact, in many respects Obama’s IRS abuses actually have been much worse than Nixon’s.
It was in May 2013 that the Treasury Inspector for Tax Administration (TIGTA) releasedan audit report confirming that the IRS used “inappropriate” criteria to identify, hamstring, and handcuff conservative organizations that stand in opposition to the administration’s policies. In short, it violated the First Amendment rights of countless Americans just as Obama sought reelection.  If you want to know how an election is stolen in plain sight, this is how.
.....I urge you to read and widely share today’s piece entitled “ABCs of IRS mess: Justice Department is tainted, too” in the New York Post by our lead investigative reporter Micah Morrison.  Micah lays out in painstaking detail, including some never-before-revealed facts, about what is obvious to any honest American:  that the Obama Justice Department can’t be trusted to investigate the Obama Justice Department.  
...If the Senate is to confirm Ms. Lynch (and that is a big “if” – see below), it should require the appointment of a special counsel that can begin, finally, to investigate seriously the worst abuse of the IRS by a president in memory.  This is the least the Senate should do because, as I noted with Nixon, a president has resigned for less.
