    The guy said "we don't know the content of these emails" so at what point did he say there was "collusion" between the IRS and DOJ targeting conservatives? Maybe there was , but there isn;t anything in that report that supports such a claim except for the orgasm the airhead reporter is having over the thought.

    Oh, and he also said "the tax system is key, we can't survive without it..." so why not a headline claiming "we can't survive without our tax system..." At least that would accurately reflect what the interviewee said.

    Nogods,

    Your a lawyer. You should know how humans are. Maybe we'll see the content of the emails maybe not. Knowing how humans are I am expecting that targeting was happening.

    You are presuming that political bias at the "grunt" level changes with administrations. It doesn't. And administrators don't do investigations.

    Well if you assume that targeting was happening then nothing in that report was necessary for you to post the headlines. There's nothing in that report that has anything to do with collusion between the IRS and the Department of Justice. That assertion comes solely from the reporter.

    What we can assume is that any organization, public or private, is infected with people who are dishonest and will use means available to them that are illegal to achieve some benefit. But when a reporter uses an otherwise non-conclusive fact to jump to an unsupported factual assertion, they have become one of those people on the level of intellectual dishonesty.

    I thought I had heard that grunts went up the chain of command with the blame?!
