IRS scandal extends to FEC and SEC
And now we find out that the IRS was not the only governmental agency that was improperly directed against conservative groups. The Federal Election Commission applied "creative" standards when reviewing conservative groups and the Security and Exchange Commission sought "additional disclosure" from corporations regarding political contributions.

The funniest part is that there are Democratic politicians who are trying to run away from their public statements calling for these actions. Chuckey Schumer specifically suggested that the IRS look closely at conservative groups and Barney Frank wanted the SEC put pressure on corporations for political contributions in direct contradiction to do what the Supreme Court, in Citizens United, said is OK.

Wonder if the Progressive Left have decided on Brown or Black shirts?

Validated pragmatism knows no bounds.

This is the one real possible scandal and I hope they chase it as far up the ladder as it goes. I doubt it will get to the West Wing. The right of the people to vote or organize under the law is fundamental to Democracy.
