I mention this because Elijah Cummings has released the transcripts of the interviews with the IRS agents conducted so far, and so far, he says, none of themÂ
report admit to any White House direction.Merely that the targeting was supervised directly from Washington, despite Lois Lerner’s initial claims that this was all a few rogue operators in Cincinnati.
Elijah Cummings, and Salon, think this is a Big Victory for Team Obama that so far
Lots of Watergate comparisons.
President
Nixon[Obama] statedDean[Holder] had conducted a thorough investigation of the matter, when in factDean[Holder] had not conducted any investigation at all. (Aug 29. 1972)William Mark Felt Sr. [Snowden] cautionedWoodward[all of us] not to trust their phone conversations to be secure.Early on most of the media failed to grasp the full implications of the scandal.
The Watergate scandal resulted in 69 government officials being charged and 48 being found guilty.
We won’t get to those numbers unless we get a John Dean in Obama’s West Wing.
Big difference though…during Watergate most of the media HATED Nixon…and following McCord’s admission to Judge Sirica that the burglars had lied about who sent them…the MSM jumped in with both feet.
This time…the MSM LOVES Obama, and as we already see are blocking and tackling for his administration. The media plan is to discount that there are any ties to Washington D.C. Only Fox (I’m afraid) is going to fully cover this story…so it will remain segregated on the media Right. The meme will be…”nothing to see here, move on”.
