Holder Off-The-Record
 |
Thursday, May 30th | |
Something very interesting has been unfolding over the last day or so. It has to do with Eric Holder's request to meet off-the-record with journalists to discuss the Justice Department's handling of leaks to the media. The key phrase is "off-the-record." It's almost laughable that Holder would make such a request, considering the nature of what he wants to discuss. I'm not the only one to view this off the record request incredulously: Fox News, CNN, the New York Times, the Associated Press and the Huffington Post have all denied Holder's request to meet, so long as the "off-the-record' demand remains.

| IRS "Kerfuffle" Updates I have a collection of stories related to the IRS scandal involving the targeting of conservative groups. As I told you earlier in the week, Jay Sekulow of the ACLJ has filed a lawsuit on behalf of at least 25 groups against the IRS. Apparently groups are still receiving probing inquiries as recently as just three weeks ago! In other words, the IRS was inaccurate in declaring that practice of targeting conservatives to be over. We also know now that the targeting was widespread and went into high levels of the IRS. Here are a few other stories related to the scandal .. I'm sorry, wait .. according to Chris Matthews, we are no longer to refer to this IRS story or Benghazi or leak investigations as "scandals." We will henceforth downplay them as mere "kerfuffles." Yeah ... right. Here are some of the latest news stories related to the IRS "kerfuffle"... more Today's "Hot Topic" On The Hannity Forums: Predict the next conflict zone... - Chuangtzu ...requiring the US to act as a "global force for good" with a "responsibility to protect" lives which, up until that point, nobody in the power centers of the US ever cared about.
