Which "lies"?No "lies" by "the GOP" in the article are identified. The central claim to the article is:could be a pretty big deal, because, according to Cummings, the man said&#xD;&#xA; that he and he alone first &#x201C;centralized&#x201D; the Tea Party cases, without &#xD;&#xA;any direction from any superiors and without any political motivation.Um, so? A claim by Cummings about a claim about an IRS staffer is true because ______?

By the way, referencing articles with such preposterous claims as:

The United States under Bush did in fact violate the Geneva Conventions. He did in fact start a war against an “enemy” that had done nothing to the United States,

Is high brow comedy.

I know people from Maryland are basically stupid, as I&#x27;ve been to Hagerstown, had several Loyola girls in one of my beach houses, and have met Martin O&#x27;Malley, but is it possible that this Stiln fellow actually believes even half of the pablum he posts?

Laugh out loud funnyCummings&#x2019; aim was to refute assertions by the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., that the special scrutiny was part of a Washington-based conspiracy. Cummings, the top Democrat on the committee, said the transcript of five hours of interviews on June 9 &#x201C;debunks conspiracy theories about how the IRS first started reviewing these cases.&#x201D;-How did Rep Cummings efforts turn out?Shafer&#x2019;s testimony makes clear that the criteria seemed to be set in Washington. Cummings claimed the transcript shows there was no concerted White House involvement in the targeting of political opponents, while Issa maintains there is still insufficient detail to make that assertion.Under questioning, Shafer pushed back on the original IRS explanation that a couple of &#x201C;rogue&#x201D; agents in Cincinnati were to blame for the targeting of tea party groups.&#x201C;We do have a number of checks and balances that would lend me to believe that whatever the definition of a rogue agent is, which I don&#x2019;t know, it would be difficult for me to believe that,&#x201D; he said.Read more here: https://www.mcclatchydc.com/2013/06/18/194248/irs-cases-were-referred-to-group.html#.UcI-8j770Vl#storylink=cpyhttps://www.mcclatchydc.com/2013/06/18/194248/irs-cases-were-referred-to-group.html#.UcI-8j770VlSo in other words: The Republicans did not "lie" and Rep Cummings made a fool of himself.Read more here: https://www.mcclatchydc.com/2013/06/18/194248/irs-cases-were-referred-to-group.html#.UcI-8j770Vl#storylink=cpy
