In short synopsis:

FEC staff are not supposed to conduct investigations unless directed by a majority of the commissioners.

No such approval was had. Staff conducted investigations anyway, and then requested information from LOIS LERNER who directed staff to fulfill the illegal requests. (The IRS is not allowed to divulge tax payer information).

This is now the 5th? case of illegal and improper investigations of political opponents, and implicates staff and the office of the general counsel (democrat, of course) at the FEC.

Also staff did not hold the organization to the same standard that had been used for democratic organizations such as Moveon.org

The problem I see is that, in the end, it's just another case of "left" hates "right" and everybody is both involved and guilty They're going to follow this thing up the chain until we can really prove the administration was involved then someone lower on the totem pole will throw themselves on their sword to protect the President long enough for him to finish his term.

They've taken the lessons from Watergate and figured out that by using a bunch of people (entire organizations like the FEC and IRS) buried so many layers below legal scrutiny that they can confuse the issue long enough to actually get away with what they're doing.

...IMO

She was bigtime in the FEC where W got her from to go into the IRS.

Looks like a nutsucker false flag operation, start to finish. Lets try the nutsuckers for treason.
