Ethics and Governance

Our left wing moonbat Marxist Poultry has shown why radical lefties are not fit morally or mentally for government service. The basic inability to perceive the magnitude of the heinous crimes of Lois Lerner and her pack of flunkies at the IRS. These crimes exceed anything imagined in Watergate and Lerner deserves to be severely punished. The refusal of the administration to honestly investigate this matter leads me to the belief that this scandal goes way beyond Lerner.

Federal employees undergo a variety ethics training. There are videos that get played to federal employees every year.Lerner as a top manager would have definitely viewed the basic videos and likely have had advanced training. As an attorney is held to a higher standard of conduct for these flagrant violation of ethics.

Federal Employees are deservedly held to high standards of personal integrity. When one accepts the job one understands the extra sense of obligations that come with Federal employment. If a federal employee takes a second job it must be cleared. Federal employees can be fired for crimes unrelated to their job. If there is any arrest beyond a simple traffic violations it must be reported to mission support.

On the job the employee must apply the laws across the board. Any hint of bias is dealt with swiftly. Bias is often not understood easily. I asked our expert about a real case. Two people were arrested for cigarette smuggling, one from Mexico and the other from Lebanon. On the latter, the officer must do additional inquiries as a pattern of crime
Is already well established. Doing these enhanced questions with no indication the person across the desk is illegal profiling.

The IRS group in question was not dealing with meaty issues of criminality. In fact the rare incedence that charities
are involved in criminality are some of the Muslim charities that were not targeted. Lerner targeted Conservative and
Pro Israel groups for additional scrutiny. The sole basis for this additional scrutiny was Lerner objected to the politics of those groups.

The abuse included illegal requests for donor lists. The donors were subsequently harassed by the IRS. Of course the
Duck who still whines about Stalanists being denied work sees nothing wrong with a government agency abusing conservatives and people who support Israel with IRS audits. The cases were held up for years by agency obstructionism. Contrary to the Obama excuse, resources had nothing to do with the abuses. The cases could have been easily approved with less expenditures.

No doubt the Duck would be screaming if the officers discriminated against gays or Muslims. The abuses of the IRS were motivated by the pure malice and lack of ethics of Lerner. She deserves to have her name placed on the same page
in the history books as Benadict Arnold. Abusing your authority to pursue advance a political agenda is a heinous crime.

Poultry has ignored the facts and made absurd claims that there was no crimes committed by the IRS. Not even the arch criminal Lerner would advance that claim. If this is true why awkwardly invoke the fifth amendment and go through games with emails. The pressure on the IRS is occurring from lawsuits from the aggrieved parties, notably Judicial Watch. A pattern of Obstruction of Justice is evident and one of the judges is contemplating holding the head of the IRS in contempt of court.

As these crimes are monumental in their scope and strike at the heart of the basic foundations of our government the reactions should be severe. A RICO case should be brought against Lerner and every member of the IRS division that handled the tax exempt organizations. If there is evidence that State officials conspired with Lerner they should be charged as well.

Lastly the employees of the IRS should be punished for the crimes of Lerner. Anyone eligible for retirement for the next ten years should be mandated to leave. Step increases and pay raises should be with held until employees testify against Lerner. Unlike the budget shutdown the employees should not be compensated later.

Lerner should have her passport confiscated. After all of this is done it is fairly likely that she would flee the country. Her pension and assets should be seized, but her spouse should be spared by divorcing Lerner thus he could keep assets held jointly.

If the prosecution of these crimes seems severe, the monumental nature of Lerners crimes against the American people
need to be considered. There is no excuse for the gross abuse of power of Lerneer and her cronies. The American people need to have complete confidence in the professionalism of all of its civil servants, especially those working
at the IRS.
