Papa Mueller and the Twelve Dancing Princes and/or Princesses

A dozen FBI agents, supposedly, have been assigned to investigating a criminal probe into Internal Revenue Service scrutiny of conservative political groups, FBI Director (Papa) Robert Mueller said this past Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Most likely, the twelve princes and/or princesses will end up dancing in circles around the issue at hand  for a long time; and, be tardy in reporting, awhile most likely blaming the sequester's impact on performance expectations.

"It's a high-priority and it needs to be handled with care, but it also needs to be pushed aggressively," he told the Senate Judiciary Committee at a hearing.

Define aggressively, Papa. 

What's the timeline on your report?

Are you getting them all new dancing shoes as bonus under the sequester like the IRS is giving $70 million dollars to their administrators and counsel under intense scrutiny?

Do they all know how to dance (investigate) gracefully (thoroughly)?

While Papa Mueller spoke, Tea Party conservatives rallied outside the US Capitol and at least 1,000 protesters assembled for an "Audit the IRS" event.

Yes, let’s have the dancing princes and/or princesses audit all the IRS administrators and counsels of Treasury and the IRS as well as the White House from March 1, 2010 – March 1, 2013; however, are they qualified to do audits?

Let's see how many wire transfers and cash deposits were made to their private accounts.

Come to think of it, Papa, I am not sure the princes and princesses are up to the job.

You'd better hire twelve CPA cobblers, Papa; to 'nail' them justly.

Non-partisan outside auditors with numbers know how rather than FBI agents are recommended to probe the existence of any personal money laundering aspects in connection with the IRS probe by counsels, advisers, and administrators of the IRS, Treasury, White House, and Congress.

Shhhh!...Hush Money...IRS to pass out $70 Million in Bonuses During Sequester

Photo credit: The Daily Caller

The Internal Revenue Service is about to pass out $70 million in bonuses to employees over the next few months.

Sen. Charles Grassley sent a letter Tuesday asking IRS acting chief Daniel Werfel to explain why the agency plans to give out the bonuses. 

Grassley conveyed that all bonus payments were supposed to be halted under the federal spending cuts, known as sequester.

"Does the IRS intend to execute an agreement to preserve approximately $70 million for union bonuses during sequestration?" wrote Grassley.

The IRS says it is legally bound to pay bonuses, if required by contracts worked out with the National Treasury Employees Union, according to its spokesman; it is said to be  acting under guidance of Sylvia Matthews Burwell , Director of the White House's Office of Management and Budget.

The bonus controversy comes at a time when the  IRS is being criminally investigated for  singling out Tea Party conservative groups for extra tax scrutiny prior, during, and after election years.

Yesterday, thousands Tea Party conservatives gathered on the west lawn of the Capitol Hill to protest the scandal and demand Congress "audit" the IRS.

NTEU's president. Colleen Kelley. said that the bonuses are awarded on merit and have been a part of the union contract with the IRS for decades. She said the bonuses are "legally required as part of the collective bargaining agreement."

I think taxpayers would rather see subsidies for poultry farmers than for partisan, and politically appointed tax administrators.

How about giving them boiled eggs instead?

You can't say then they weren't offered a bonus, Ms. Kelly.

The IRS, supposedly, has already been 'slammed' by the sequester. 

The IRS is one of several agencies forcing its staffers, nearly 90,000 employees, to take unpaid time off at home because of sequester. The agency shuttered nearly all of its offices last Friday, the second of five days this summer; it has also lost 10,000 employees to attrition in just the past two years, or over 9% of its total workforce. Sequester has prevented the agency from replacing staffers, meaning staff in some departments feel overworked.

Honey Boo-hoo.

Daniel Werfel's First Personnel Decision as Acting IRS Commissioner

Guess who was the Campus Manager of this Austin, Texas campus of the F.B.I. and I.R.S. when a plane plowed into it three years ago?

It's the same guy Daniel Werfel just chose to replace Lois Lerner as head of the tax-exempt division, Ken Corbin.

.

“In naming Ken Corbin as acting director to replace Lois Lerner, the administration has taken a strong step to address serious mistakes made by the IRS Exempt Organization Division,” Representative Sander Levin of Michigan, the top Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee, said in a statement. “This and further corrective action are vital in restoring the confidence of the American people.”

Golly, I'm not so sure about that now, Senator.

David Plouffe: Obstructionist-in-Chief?

I think David Plouffe knows a lot about how to make money fast. Plouffe received $100,000 for two speeches in Nigeria. And, he received $50,000 for a speach in Baku, Azerbaijan. Plouffe certainly knows how to find and hunt for money, too. In 2008, Plouffe was President Obama Presidential Election Campaign Manager. Between 2011-2013, Plouffe was Senior Advisor to the President Obama during the 2012 election.

Look at his teeth; even they look crooked to me.

Dog whistle! Search warrants whistle!

Check out above a member of the sniffing-out money laundering vice squad.

This beagle can find Plouffe's household stash, if he's stupid enough to have one. 

I think Plouffe  has got be in on this whole alleged, laundering business. He knows too much, being the closest adviser to the President since 2008. He should also be subpoenaed to appear before the House and Senate committees, to answer IRS scandal related questions. 

Let him take the Fifth, if he wants to. We'll get to the truth the hard way or the easy way. It's really up to him. The harder he makes it, the longer he'll get to serve, if convicted of obstruction of justice. 

Plouffe and President Obama should also not forget who holds the power of the purse for leverage to obtain "the truth and nothing but the truth" as well.

Follow along with: The David Plouffe Scandal.

let's put this investigation on the fast track, to gather up all the evidence and loose ends by August 1st, so that we can return after the summer break for the first day of trials to begin on September 4th, the day after Labor Day.

THE IRS SCANDAL PLAY

(copyrighted @ 2013)

Synopsis:

The IRS Scandal is a fictional play based on true events (Can't wait to see how fictional it really is after the investigations are all said and done).

At its rotten core, it is a  "go deep, go long, rise to troll mid-level" submarine-like, political special ops, intel and money-laundering operation.

A major political party is in covert collusion with select members of their congressional leadership, mid-level managers, lawyers, and commissioners at the IRS, Treasury, and  FEC to undermine the opposition during a presidential re-election campaign year to save all their jobs during an economic recession.

The "follow-the-money" middle men and women are executive staff members of a major leading trade association, which holds quarterly conferences around the country in which they invite the lawyers and executives from the government to revel secret coded bank wire transfer information and other coded "comments" for personal benefit during the panel discussion periods.

Mid-level mangers at the IRS hire only temps at a seemingly out of the way field office, and use them like a revolving doors. The temps, who work no more than a week at a time before they are exchanged, are told to request more information or notify those on a list to contact a pre-approved (corrupt) IRS lawyer in their area that will help them with the processing of their tax-exempt application, revocation, or renewal status.

After getting the calls from distraught and frustrated social welfare applicants, the corrupt lawyers set about fleecing their vulnerable and naive clients, the conservative tax-exempt applicants, in order to kick back half the fees they collect to a single bank account, which is only open for a couple of weeks; afterward, the money is laundered by being transferred into four other separate accounts for the corrupt IRS, FEC, select Congress members, and to the presidential campaign manager to use at will, but mostly to split between himself and his family and the President of the United States and the First Lady.

The lawyers wire the funds because they always want to be listed on the IIRS's and their bread and butter list in common.

The main goal, in addition to enriching a few at the expense of the many, is to have overwhelming television advertising market share; pay for polling manipulation done by a firm who's owner is a close friend of the President's; and, so that the corrupt president, select members of congress, and mid-level government officials maintain their jobs.

They think they can achieve their goal by stalling and 'blood sucking' mom and pop conservative, social welfare groups.

Soon, the conservative party opponent and his supporters smell more than a rat, and will later come to discover that their respective acute financial kneecapping of their fund raising efforts and losses in the general election are all linked at the end to hangups at the IRS on the status of their 501(c) grass roots supporters' applications and renewals.

The gig is up.

An Inspector General is asked to undertake a report and stalls the report for months inexplicably until after the general election is over;then, undertakes the report again, only to be found as being less than thorough upon conclusion other than stating the obvious basics - mistakes were made. But, by whom and for what reason?

A full blown House and Senate investigation is launched; a special independent prosecutor is appointed; and, people go to jail, some are acquitted, and some end up on probation with similarly ruin professional lives.

The IRS is finally restored back to credibility, and all is right with the political world; that is until the next general election scheme is hatched before the curtain lowers.

Act I

The development and strategy of  “Operation Spookie": spook,snoop, collect, and delay tax-exempt free status by trolling for intel and requiring extra paperwork requirements from conservative 501c applicants. Delete, audit, revoke, and shake downs current conservative, social welfare groups back to corrupt lawyers; do the same to new applicants.

Members of congress receive complaints from 501(c) applicants; so, an Inspector General is duly assigned to investigate. The I.G. sits on the investigation until the election is past. All hell breaks lose in the press, the heartland, and on the Capitol Hill when a mid-level IRS feins saintly hood, apologizes, and announces "mistakes were made" at the IRS.

After pleading the Fifth before congress by the director of the tax-exempt office, the curtain lowers.

Act II

House and Senate Committees conduct dual Watergate-like investigative hearings; tragic professional falls occur; confessions are obtained. Jail terms, probations, and amunities under the plea-barganing processs are obtained.

The power and threat to freeze bank accounts is used to illicit confessions; monies are recovered and returned to the 'blood sucked'  victims of corrupt lawyers who had been retained to help intervene or litigate against the IRS on behalf of their 501(c) applications or tax-free status revocations and renewal which were deliberately delayed.

Congressional laws are finally crafted to make the IRS an independent, non-partisan body like the Federal Reserve with the IRS commissioner and his or her deputy elected by the people by the ballot box, every four years.

The last line of the play, before the curtain goes down on the play is spoken by the White House designer.

"What color curtains for the Oval Office would you like, Mr. ?" (Can't give it all away)

Is there an honest legal team interested in the rights to The IRS Scandal play?

It's yours for free to make millions with your investors if and only if you can prove that you have obtained the full release of the Guantanamo abductee-hostages who are being held indefinitely and illegally against Amendments Three, Four, Five, Six, Eight, Nine, and Eleven of the U.S. Constitution. You must petition and present the case before the U.S. Supreme Court and win the release of the abductees-hostages to be sent home immediately at U.S. government expense to their loved ones; and, to face speedy trials in their own homelands or be released, if warranted or acquitted, by local authorities without any U.S. government interference.

Let’s all help to stop torture; and, help create the most harmonious world we all deserve with many more theater jobs.
