You know when the President sends out an official announcement at 8:30pm that a  general sense of the pending sh!tstorm is looming far closer than the horizon.

So close in fact it is quite possible the nucleus of the scandal will be tracked to the West Wing of 1600.

Earlier yesterday, prior to the official Inspector General report release,  ABC Newser Trey Hardin directly asked White House Spokesman Jay Carney:

Trey Hardin: “I will tell you this on the IRS front. I’ve worked in this town for over 20 years in the White House and on Capitol Hill and I can say with a very strong sense of certainty that there are people very close to this president that not only knew what the IRS were doing but authorized it. It simply just does not happen at an agency level like that without political advisers likely in the West Wing certainly connected to the president’s ongoing campaign organization.”  (link)

Notably, Jay Carney never disputed this assertion.   Bad sign. (more…)

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

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…..

WASHINGTON DC – Republicans are training their attacks on acting IRS Commissioner Steve Miller amid new revelations that he and the agency’s former top official knew employees were targeting conservative groups but failed to notify Congress despite repeated requests.

Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch, the top Republican on the Finance Committee, and 10 other GOP lawmakers wrote to then-IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman on June 18, 2012 demanding answers about why the agency requested donor information from groups seeking nonprofit status.

By the time this letter was sent, Shulman and Miller, who was the deputy IRS commissioner at the time, were aware of the extent of the targeting program for about a month. (more…)

First “his” point:

Then “her” counter point: (more…)

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…)
