How many federal agencies actually work for just ordinary every-day Americans?
FBI hasn’t contacted a
single tea party group in IRS probe, groups say

There is no evidence that
the FBI has contacted a single tea party group in its criminal investigation of
the Internal Revenue Service, according to the groups the IRS abused.
“We have not been contacted
by any federal investigative agency and, to date, none of our clients have been
contacted or interviewed by the FBI,” Jay Sekulow of the American Center
“I have been very surprised
that I have not heard from anybody and frankly, none of my clients have. I talk
to other tea party leaders on a regular basis,” said Cleta Mitchell, the lawyer
largely credited with pushing the IRS abuses to the forefront.
“It’s been a month and I
can’t see any evidence of an investigation of the IRS,” Mitchell told TheDC
Thursday. She represents nine tea party groups targeted by the IRS.
Tea Party Patriots — a group
with thousands of local chapters — “has not been contacted by the FBI” either,
according to Jameson Cunningham, the group’s spokesman.
The revelation suggests that
the FBI is in no hurry to get to the bottom of the scandal, despite the Obama
administration’s promise to investigate the IRS’s multi-year abuse of
conservative groups.
In separate testimony before
congressional investigators Thursday, FBI Director Robert Mueller seemed
completely unaware of the progress of any such investigation.
READER COMMENT: Wow ! A stunning display of disrespect for American
citizens’ rights and obvious egregious abuse of power by the Obama
administration leaning on another agency. Jaw dropping arrogance...
