Last week, Congressman Jim Gerlach paid Trappe Republicans a visit when, among describing in detail other current activities, he mentioned the House has subpoenaed over 600,000 documents from the Internal Revenue Service which they are refusing to turn over. If the IRS under Obama continues this insubordinate and highly suspect behavior, they risk being found "In Contempt Of Congress," much like Attorney General Eric Holder found himself in Contempt of Congress over his highly illegal Mexico gun-running scheme with Obama known as "Fast and Furious." Why was Watergate so huge when this Administration keeps pumping out one illegal move after another making the Watergate break-in pale in scope?
Just imagine sending to the Internal Revenue Service a bill for:

A case of that kind has been filed, with a request to make it class action. The ultimate goal is to uncover what former IRS official Lois Lerner wanted to do and did.
It also seeks to uncover what other “responsible parties” were up to regarding the IRS attacks on tea party and other conservative groups that applied for tax-exempt. Evidence has been presented that the discrimination was coordinated to hinder the effectiveness of the groups when Barack Obama was pursuing re-election in 2012.
The legal action was filed in Ohio by an organization called Sue the IRS, established under the direction of Mark Meckler.
