The story in their bubble is ever expanding. I heard Hannity on Thursday say that ALL Tea Party groups were "targeted". The whole point was another hoax so they could play victim.

but not all the liberal groups were. He had some good points though. $250 million from Koch brothers and Rove groups makes it obvuous they were probalby political and needed to be investigated. And as Wallace asked, why didnt they just give her immunity to see if Obama was involved a yr ago? Obviouslu b/c they wanted to keep dragging this out through 2014 election and beyond for their rabid base.

they didnt make an offer to her because they would have been unable to wield it against the democrats and the whitehouse like they have been trying to do.

It's like when I was listening to RW Talk Radio and the guy says, "Obama had a 20% approval rating but he won re-election. How did THAT happen?"

Clinton mocked them when they did it to him. At one of the White House correspondence dinners he said, "So little time, so many unanswered questions. For instance, I recently lost ten pounds."

(pause, then in a conspiratorial voice)

"Where did they go?"

8. And much of the "scandal" was stirred up by Dan Backer of TheTeaParty.net

He's the same lawyer who instigated the McCutcheon case, so you can see there's a consistent agenda at work. On one hand, remove all limits on campaign funding. On the other, turn charitable non-profits into unregulated dark money machines.

The other thing he and his pals are involved in is voter suppression -- so look for that to be the next major battlefield. In fact, the GOP flacks are already out with dubious statistics based on sloppy record keeping that they claim show 1 million fraudulent voters.
