    The WH presser w/Carney was a hoot! Reporters actually grilling him on obvious lies, and he actually tried to blame MITT ROMNEY!!!

    Classic...

    Watergate wasn't a constitutional crisis, either, and nobody died because of it.

    Yeah it was. Nixon illegally used the FBI and other agencies to threaten people on his enemies list. That's the tip of a really big iceberg.

    Bill Clinton illegally had access to FBI files as well, including many of his GOP 'enemies'. Funny how that wasn't considered a 'constitutional crisis', and was explained as a "mistake".

    Wow, it's fun watching the press actually do their jobs. Carney just keeps repeating the same lies over and over again.

    What does it matter?

    Because they covered up what happened during the run-up to an election for the president of the United States. It could have changed the outcome.

    You can't handle the truth! We'll tell you what to believe. Vote for us, then we'll "get to the bottom of all this."

    Baaaaaaa

    Binders of women was a campaign issue. Benghazi wasn't.

    It wasn't going to be, no matter what.

    It's going to be a big issue for Clinton in 2016, and it sounds like Petreaus is going back to testify again to refute the administration's claims. Already there are rumblings of a subpoena for Hillary to come back and answer questions under oath this time.

    "What difference does it make" is going to ruin her.

    There will be something like binders of women, and it'll be 24/7 on the networks, instead.

    I'd say you're right, but Carney was caught in so many lies today, that some of the major networks are going to have to start investigating it.

    Is that significantly different than using the IRS to harass conservative non-profits?

    Either way, it seems absolutely corrupt.

    Nixon had the FBI do illegal wiretaps of individuals and then intervened to prevent the FBI from fully investigating Watergate. He then fired people in the DoJ until he found one that would fire the special prosecutor. He committed perjury and obstructed justice, among other things. These things, among others, made Nixon's actions a constitutional crisis.

    What exactly did the IRS do that was criminal here?

    I'm not an expert on IRS laws and policy. It would seem that they targeted opposition to the current administration. That would seem to be a form of discrimination. I guess we'll see whether it was illegal as more comes to light.

    I'm still not seeing it. The first two posts include articles that say that 25% of those applications given extra scrutiny were tea party and the like. 75% weren't. So that really puts a hurt on the theory that they targeted political opposition.

    Second, the IRS asking for more information from applicants who want 501(c)3 (tax exempt) organization status is hardly harassment. It would be a lot more of a concern if the administration's opposition were audited.

    Third, why use the IRS to do something sinister as claimed? Nixon used the FBI and not the IRS for a reason... Ya know?

    Fourth, those organizations claiming 501(c)3 and similar status are prohibited by law from political activities. So black churches, as I mentioned, white churches, tea party, etc., should be scrutinized. Otherwise the Democrats are getting partially funded at the taxpayer's expense. (True for republican organizations too, just making the point).
