Stalag America: Boehner Wants Someone Jailed Despite No Evidence Of An Actual Crime - From Forbes
http://www.forbes.com/sites/rickungar/2013/05/15/stalag-america-boehner-wants-someone-jailed-despite-no-evidence-of-an-actual-crime/Given the recent trifecta of what has,to date, added up to mostly false but politically effective allegations of scandal involving Benghazi, the IRS and the Department of Justice, transparency within the walls of the Obama White House has very much come into question.
But when it comes to the GOP leadership in Congress, there can be no such question of transparency as their behavior could not be any more open or obvious.
---------------------------------------snip--------------------------------------
While speaking to the press about the IRS matter, Mr. Boehner bellowed, My question isnt about who is going to resign. My question is whose going to jail over this scandal? The Speaker then bounded from the stage leaving his words to hang in the air.
Ah the drama .the intrigue the utter and complete disregard for the American justice system spat from the lips of the most powerful man in the United States Congress.
While the Speaker demands to know who is going to jail over the IRS fiasco, the rest of us are, apparently, falling behind as we are still trying to find out whatif anycriminal laws have been violated. You see, Mr. Speaker, in this country one is supposedly required to be convicted of actually violating a criminal law before prison time is to be handed out as punishmenteven when this rather fundamental rule of law proves to be an inconvenient impediment to your fundraising activities.

Ney goes on to say that Boehner was lazy, took thousands of dollars in booze, food and golf games from lobbyists, and repeatedly slid around ethics rules: John got away with more than any other member on the Hill because he was well-liked and well-protected by his staff.

Then then we'll talk, orange man. Assuming, of course, there's anything to talk about.
