Obamas Foot Soldiers
It seems everyday we read stories of Obama underlings using government agencies to attack political adversaries. The optics would suggest that Obama or his immediate minions have a hand in some or all of the subversive actions, but it doesn’t really matter who did what because the administration can just make things go away as is the case in the Lois Lerner IRS scandal.
The Obama Administration’s latest gift to the former IRS tax-exempt chief came recently when U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ron Machen informed the House of Representatives that he would not file charges on its formal contempt citation against Ms. Lerner. This absolution, which shields Ms. Lerner from a grand jury probe, came on Mr. Machen’s final day on the job…
Ms. Lerner was caught red handed but received a “get out of jail free” card from Obama for being a good little foot soldier.
The House on May 7, 2014 held her in contempt of Congress and sent the citation to Mr. Machen.
The law clearly explains that the U.S. Attorney’s only “duty” “shall be” to “bring the matter before the grand jury for its action.” Mr. Machen instead sat on the contempt citation for 11 months, and on March 31 sent Speaker John Boehner a letter explaining he’d unilaterally decided not to investigate Ms. Lerner…
…the job of making these legal calls belonged to a grand jury—not Mr. Machen. Keep Reading…
This is not how the justice system in America is supposed to work yet Obama and his cohorts seem to get away with it all the time. Until impeachment proceedings are started against Obama he will consider himself above the law and these Chicago thug tactics will continue.
At some point the American people will finally have enough of these lawless actions and revert back to a previous form of justice that has its own optics of the American old west….and that won’t necessarily be a bad thing.
