That's right, Hussein knew and kept it ferom Congress.

IRS tea-party bloodbath continues in Congress, as evidence emerges that IRS's own internal probe ended in May 2012, six months before election, but was hidden from legislators

Tempers flared in a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing Wednesday, with members on both sides of the aisle castigating the Internal Revenue Service for targeting conservative groups with special scrutiny, and then hiding the practice from Congress.

Rep. Darrel Issa, the committee's chairman, said that the committee learned just yesterday that the IRS completed its own investigation a year before a Treasury Department Inspector General report was completed.

And not one Republican Representative or Senator had the presence of mind to go to the IRS and ask "Hey, what about that investigation you guys are doing? Is it completed, or what?"

Sorry, but I'm not buying it! When I read something like this, it makes the needle on my B.S. meter spin all the way around twice then fly off the face of the dial!

This is right up there with "The dog ate my homework!" as lame excuses!

I don't think there is any difference on either side of the aisle.
