IRS Chief Facing Contempt

Under Holder’s protect-Obama-at-all-cost DOJ

Any investigation of the IRS could be counted on to slowly but surely fade away

A bogus excuse that Lerner’s computer had crashed and all her emails were lost

Followed by another lame excuse that the IRS was doing everything to recover despite the cost

Followed by revelations that despite orders to records retain

IRS employees dumped thousands of documents down the electronic drain

If one would listen to the tapes of Koskinen when before Congress he testified

Even setting aside the outrage over his arrogance more likely than not he lied.

Thanks to FOIA and brave independent IGs, the pursuit of justice has not stopped

Despite the lack of a smidgeon of corruption public interest in this case has not stopped

A federal district judge after a large number of Lerner emails have been recovered

At offsite storage sites that any IP person would know that’s where they would be discovered

Ordered the IRS to produce the emails

Yet deadline, after deadline the IRS failed

For Koskinen a potential contempt of court citation may soon be in place

Nothing like a little time in jail to win that grin off his arrogant face

He has lied to Congress and their lawful demands he has defied

He should be impeached if he does not resign and say goodbye

When it comes to the IRS targeting scandal Lynch so far seems to be of the same cloth

Even though the targeting and intimidation of conservative groups cut a large swath

For the preservation of the democracy one hopes that observation is wrong

And that Lynch returns the DOJ to an agency of justice where impartiality is strong
