IRS inappropriately targets Tea Party, White House blames Bush
Republicans trying to get Holder fired? I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you!!!
You are aware that the DoJ at his direction invoked the Espionage Act and refered to a Fox News reporter as a criminal co-conspirator in legal filings in some cases referring to him as a flight risk.

To be honest they could have video footage of him committing war crimes and by this point most people wouldn't take it seriously. That tends to happen when you keep crying wolf.
Oh and here's why this crap doesn't get taken that seriously..

PolitiFact Rates Higher Percentage Of Republican Claims As False, Study Finds
Republicans' claims are far more likely than Democrats' to be rated false by the fact-checking site PolitiFact, according to a study released Tuesday.
Since January, PolitiFact has rated 52 percent of Republicans' statements as mostly or entirely false, compared to just 24 percent of Democrats' statements, the study found. In the first three weeks of May, amid controversies over the attacks in Benghazi, Libya and investigations at the Internal Revenue Service and the Department Of Justice, 60 percent of Republicans' statements were rated as false, compared to 29 percent of those made by Democrats.
George Mason University's Center for Media and Public Affairs, which conducted the study, looked at 100 claims, 46 made by Democrats and 54 by Republicans.
Rep. Michele Bachmann's (R-Minn.) claim that the IRS runs a "huge national database" of personal details, for instance, got a "pants on fire" rating.
“While Republicans see a credibility gap in the Obama administration, PolitiFact rates Republicans as the less credible party,” George Mason University CMPA president Robert Lichter wrote in a release with the Tuesday report.
The center released similar findings last year when it compared the Obama and Romney campaigns, giving Obama higher marks on truthfulness.
The study is far from a scientific referendum on partisan honesty -- as PolitiFact's editor Bill Adair noted, the statements it chooses to check aren't a representative sample of what either party is saying.
Adair wrote in an email to Poynter's Andrew Beaujon that statements are selected on the basis of news judgment.
"PolitiFact rates the factual accuracy of specific claims; we do not seek to measure which party tells more falsehoods," he told Beaujon. “The authors of this press release seem to have counted up a small number of our Truth-O-Meter ratings over a few months, and then drew their own conclusions.”
Oh and here's why this crap doesn't get taken that seriously..
May I ask what other way there is to see the relevant testimony Holder gave other than as a bald faced lie given to Congress, under oath no less?

I'll bet 90% of it comes from Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, and Rand Paul.

"Capitalism ho!"
WASHINGTON — Tea Party favorite Michele Bachmann, a GOP conservative who ran for president last year, made a surprise announcement Wednesday and said she will not seek re-election to a fifth term in Congress.
I'll bet there's some funny stuff happening on this one.
It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple
RIP Tony Bogey & Baron O
“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”
"Capitalism ho!"
WASHINGTON—Saying that it’s the Lord’s will, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann announced on her website Wednesday that she has decided not to seek reelection in 2014 because God wants her to earn millions of dollars working for a high-powered lobbying firm.
According to Bachmann, God spoke to her directly after many days of intense prayer and ultimately told the exiting Congresswoman that there is no reason she should only make $174,000 per year when she could easily earn up to eight times that amount in the private sector.
“This was a difficult decision for me, but God said this is a highly lucrative opportunity and I need to capitalize on my fame now before my high media profile diminishes,” said Bachmann, adding that the Supreme Being commanded her to “strike while the iron’s hot” and work for a conservative lobbying group like FreedomWorks or the John Birch Society or whichever one offers her the most money. “I would love to stay on and represent Minnesota’s 6th congressional district, but who am I to ignore God’s plan, which He said could earn me over $10 million next year and over $20 million the following year if I invest wisely, which God wants me to do as well.”
“God also wants me to make a lot of money on the speaking circuit,” Bachmann added.
During the announcement, Bachmann said that in addition to working for a lobbying firm, the Lord and Savior urged her to sign a book deal with a multi-million-dollar advance, become a regular contributor to Fox News, and hire a television agent in case there is money to be made either by producing television shows or being the star of a reality program that centers around her.
Bachmann confirmed that in her numerous conversations with the Lord, she argued that she was most useful fighting for the people of Minnesota, but that God made it clear he wants the congresswoman to be very, very wealthy and to relentlessly leverage her brand for monetary profit. According to Bachmann, at one point God said to her, “If you don’t do this now you are shooting yourself in the foot. Because if you lose the upcoming election and are forced out of public service, you will be seen as a liability, and no one is going to pay good money for a liability.”
Bachmann said that as much as it hurts her to leave Congress, it would hurt her more to disappoint God.
“When it comes down to it, the Lord said in a vision, ‘Madam Congresswoman, I want you to be anti-gay, anti-immigration, and anti-gun control, but I want you to promote those values from a position where you can command seven- or eight-figure sums, preferably while living in a locale with sufficient tax breaks,’” Bachmann said toward the end of her announcement. “Jesus was with Him, too, and He wholeheartedly agreed. Then Jesus said I would be doing a great disservice to myself and the people I love if I don’t buy a new Mercedes. The silver one with the convertible top I’ve had my eye on for some time.”

Still more information is coming out showing that Democratic groups were also targeted and that both Republican and Democratic groups SHOULD have been targeted by the IRS because both were violating Federal tax law by using 401.c.4 tax exempt groups to engage in partisan political events.
