GOP calls witnesses for IRS hearing - Not calling Shulman, the BushRepublican IN CHARGE?

Just now on CNN the GOP congressmen have been in full outrage mode insisting they will be hard on Miller, the current acting head of IRS who was asked to resign. They say they will DEMAND ANSWERS and won't leave any stone unturned. Except......so far, they don't seem to have any interest in questioning the ONLY person who was actually in charge when the Tea Party words were flagged.

DAVID SHULMAN, Bush-appointed head of IRS from 2008-Nov 2012.

and then all the pieces of the puzzle fell into place, now seeing the GOPukers cherry pick their outrage makes be believe it that much more.

NOW why wouldn't you call the GUY that started the inquiries to begin with? OH, RIGHT...you already talked to him (to set up this whole thing) on the phone! Don't want him testifying, that would compromise things.

I cannot WAIT to see which Repuke Congress critter is the leaker and liar!




EDIT - madokie pointed this out to me. Want to give credit where credit is due.

another set up, they are desperate to get a scandal on Obama imo. They need something going into the 2014, 2016 elections and so far they are batting ZERO.

If they'd been around in the days of Capone they'd just off Shulman to keep him quiet.
