Washington Times - Inside the Beltway: Observations du jour

“In spite of constantly mounting evidence to the contrary — including some of Lerner’s own emails — the media are still dismissing this major scandal as a case of bureaucratic buffoonery. This is a coordinated, politically motivated attack by a powerful government agency on American citizens, plain and simple,” Mr. Bozell declares.
“Lerner is at the dead center of the worst scandal since Watergate, and the very people she targeted for IRS harassment are now on the hook for her pension. Few people in America today deserve more scrutiny from the press than she does,” he adds.
“Her legal troubles are not over. The FBI is conducting a criminal investigation, Congress investigates, and the American Center for Law and Justice is pressing forward with its own lawsuit, brought on behalf of 41 conservative groups in 22 states, to hold Lerner and other senior IRS officials accountable for their unconstitutional abuse of the First Amendment,” points out Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the group. . . .
