Can you tell me how the IRS deal was resolved? Why did Lerner take the fifth? Why did the IRS apologize in an orchestrated bit of theater where they planted a question? What did they apologize for? Was the IRS used to bully or intimidate or hinder groups that expressed dissenting political views? That would be a big deal if so. How was all that cleared up?

I'd be curious to know how the DOJ/AP+ snooping was dismissed as well.

And the NSA thing - that's been put to rest? Really? How?

I must have missed all of that. Catch me up.
