Confluence of Scandals: IRS, FBI, and NSA Question: In light of what is known about the pervasiveness of the NSA surveillance program, shouldn’t it now be considered scandalous that mosques are off-limits to the FBI, even though it’s ‘old news’? With respect to the NSA scandal, let’s set aside the issue of criminality relative to leaker Edward Snowden’s behavior and focus on the federal government’s behavior. First, we know that the IRS deliberately profiled Jewish, Christian, and conservative Tea Party groups for discrimination; it’s a matter of public record. We also know that the foundation of a radical Muslim who just so happens to be the half-brother of the President of the United States, received preferential, expeditious, retroactive, and illegal customer service from the IRS in general, Lois Lerner in particular.
NSA Surveillance and the Petraeus Effect That the Obama administration had the goods on CIA Director David Petraeus and used what it knew to destroy him when he didn’t play ball relative to Susan Rice’s Benghazi talking points is as close to a self-evident truth as you can get. Perhaps that wasn’t just about meting out punishment to a disloyal subordinate. It may have also served as a shot across the bow to others who desperately want to keep their skeletons locked up, regardless of what they are.
