House Speaker John A. Boehner said Wednesday that it’ll take more than firings to clear up the IRS scandal — it’ll take someone ending up serving jail time.

“My question is, who’s going to jail over this scandal?”  the Ohio Republican said at a press conference with Republicans Wednesday morning. (link)

PHILADELPHIA — A Philadelphia abortion doctor was sentenced Wednesday to a third life term for killing an aborted baby that he described as so big it could “walk to the bus.”

Dr. Kermit Gosnell was convicted this week of first-degree murder in the deaths of three babies born alive, then stabbed with scissors. He was given two life sentences Tuesday in a deal with prosecutors that spared him a potential death sentence, and the third sentence was handed down Wednesday.

Gosnell was also sentenced to 2  1/2 to five years in prison for the 2009 overdose death of a patient. The sentences are consecutive, meaning Gosnell, 72, will spend the rest of his life in prison.  (read more)

PHILADELPHIA, PA – Former Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell has been spared the death sentence by choosing to forego an appeal.

In exchange for giving up that appeal, the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office agreed to two life sentences without the possibility of parole.

Gosnell was found guilty of first-degree murder on Monday in the deaths of three babies. He was also found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the overdose death of former patient Karnamaya Mongar and 229 counts of violating Pennsylvania abortion laws.

The 72-year-old owner of the Women’s Medical Society, the West Philadelphia clinic where the crimes happened, was set to be sentenced next Tuesday.  (continue reading)

……Obama said this:  “Unfortunately, you’ve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that’s at the root of all our problems.  Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works; they’ll warn that tyranny is always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices.”

Not coincidentally in the State of Florida VS. George Zimmerman case a similar term has been used by those who perpetrate the fraud:

“Leave No Stone Unturned”

On its face it seems a disingenuous statement made to affirm an intent to get to the truth. However, to factually understand the context of its intimidated use in the Zimmerman case you must consider the surrounding facts when it was used.

Throughout the month of March, 2012, the Sanford Police Department had repeatedly stated to the media and interested parties (Martin Family troop of lawyers: Benjamin Crump, Natalie Jackson, Daryl Parks – and media consultant Ryan Julison) that investigation into the case had resulted in nothing found to contradict the description of events outlined by George Zimmerman.

The entire weight of the Sanford PD had turned over every stone, while under extreme pressure, national spotlight, and scrutiny,  and yet found nothing to contradict Mr. Zimmerman.

Nothing.

The President of the United States called Trayvon “his son”, and subsequently new “Stone Turners” were demanded – Police Chief Bill Lee was removed from the department;  Then District Attorney Norman Wolfinger was removed the day after he scheduled a Grand Jury  impanel on April 11th.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, DOJ Civil Rights Head Tom Perez, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi and the full weight of the Federal DOJ together with the Federal Community Relations Service, The “Peacekeepers” and The State of Florida took over. (more…)

In 2010 Max Baucus (D-MT) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) together with six other members of congress demanded the IRS take a political approach to target Conservative and Tea Party groups.

Today, the consequences to these “Democrat” congressional demands are in the forefront.  Every.Single.Conservative and Tea Party Group was targeted.   EVERY ONE for two years.

The DOJ having the authority to do warrantless wiretaps without presenting justification to a judge is alarming. The DOJ having the authority to do such wiretapping against reporters in the media, who provide the fourth estate to protect -and check- the balance of power, is well beyond alarming.

It was only fair that Associated Press reporter Jim Kuhnhenn got the first question to White House Press Secretary Jay Carney at Tuesday’s press briefing. Coming just one day after news broke that the Department Of Justice had secretly seized two months worth of phone records from AP reporters, Kuhnhenn used his question to tie the AP scandal together with the other troubling news stories of the week for the Obama administration.

“For fear of stating the obvious,” Kuhnhenn began, “the White House right now is confronting a confluence of issues: Benghazi talking points, IRS reviews of political groups, Justice Department’s review of journalists’ phone records, and in every instance either the president or you have placed the burden of responsibility someplace else… But it is the president’s administration, so I wonder, doesn’t responsibility for setting tone, for setting direction ultimately rest with the president on these matters?” (more…)

Listen to what Jay Carney is stating here in regard to the White House knowledge of the issues surrounding the targeting of Tea Party and Conservative groups.

Last Friday the same original media sources (the reporters on the phone conference with the IRS official who apologized) said the report was to be released within the next day.  As a result of the admission the media story quickly took off.

Now The White House is saying:  We’ll defer comment, and “wait for the report” etc.

You know this “report” has not only been scrutinized at length by the protectors, but has been re-written more than a few times as the points are critiqued by all the concentric circles that compromise the White House and Cabinet political machine. Revisions, revisions, revisions…..

In addition to the prior motion filed by Bernie De La Rionda to avoid having any key witness testimony absence presented as evidence of poor case construct; BDLR has also filed motions to keep the jury from hearing evidence about the background of Trayvon Martin.

Specifically, the State has filed a protective order to exclude the Trayvon Martin toxicology report;

And another motion to stop the introduction of information about the known background of 17-year-old Trayvon. (more…)

WASHINGTON DC – Senator Ted Cruz says the IRS scandal “harkens back to the days of Richard Nixon,” and proves that President Obama keeps an “enemies list.”

“This is part of a distressing pattern of the Obama administration of being less than honest with the American people and using the machinery of government to target their political opponents,” Cruz tells National Review in an interview.

“It harkens back to the days of Richard Nixon and maintaining a political enemies list and treating the federal government as a tool to exact the administration’s retribution,” he adds. (more…)

Update 2:  The White House Reponds –  (Politico) — The White House has “no knowledge” of the Justice Department’s efforts to obtain phone records of Associated Press reporters and editors, press secretary Jay Carney said Monday.

“Other than press reports, we have no knowledge of any attempt by the Justice Department to seek phone records of the AP,” he said in a statement.  (link)

Update 1 :  Eric Holder personally approved of wiretapping reporters – On Monday afternoon, the Associated Press reported that the U.S. Department of Justice had “secretly obtained two months of telephone records” from 20 phone lines assigned to reporters and editors from the global news organization. The shocking revelation comes on top of news that the IRS targeted conservative groups for special scrutiny. It will be harder for President Obama to pin the DOJ’s action on lower level bureaucrats, however, because requests to subpoena news organization records require the approval of Attorney General Eric Holder.  (link)

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the news cooperative’s top executive called a “massive and unprecedented intrusion” into how news organizations gather the news. (more…)
