Speculating on Obama having to resign or being impeached is seeing where it goes?

Umm, ok.

You have not been paying attention apparently. I guess because it was not on Fox...

The IG got into government as a Bush appointee. That sort of damages his credibility. Given that his single example of "progressive" and "progress" being used to flag groups is suspicious. While "progressive" can have left leaning implications, "progress" does not. And "progressive" is not exclusive to the left, it is used to describe a lot of things. However, "tea party" and "militia" most certainly have political implications, and of a particular type. Apparently the reasons those were flagged is that the applications were incomplete, had errors or were vague.

In short, the IRS was doing their job. Not to mention that a lot of the groups that got approved quickly abandoned all pretense at the social welfare portion and devoted themselves to exclusively doing political work and backing political candidates.
