Politico’s Kelsey Snell should read a different article on Politico about Sharyl Attkinson, who has been one of the few reporters willing to engage in Journalism, rather than hero worship like most of the rest of the media, and investigate the IRS scandal. Anyhow
In the two weeks since the news surfaced that the Internal Revenue Service wrongly targeted conservative groups applying for a tax exemption, the debacle has unfolded at a breathless pace — complete with resignations, three congressional hearings and the transformation of civil servants into household names.
Lois Lerner, the embattled IRS official, provided many of the more bizarre twists and turns by defiantly proclaiming her innocence at a congressional hearing before invoking her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and ultimately rejecting a request from her new boss to step down.
But now the flood of scandal news is poised to slow dramatically.
Perhaps Kelsey could use those skills obtained in journalism school and investigate. However, after saying the flood of news (which is given scant coverage on most of the major media news outlets), we learn
The GOP — and many Democrats — insist the investigation is only getting started. But where can the saga go from here?
There will be serious investigation by Congress of Lois Lerner. She could be dragged back to the House to testify regarding her opening statement and that she signed off many of the targeting documents to Conservative groups.
There will be more hearings involving others.
Resignations, and perhaps prosecutions, will be coming.
There are document dumps coming.
And talk of reforming the IRS will most likely be coming, especially in light of how the IRS is the enforcement agency for ObamaCare.
So, altogether, it looks like this flood will not slow down.
