VA Rep. Gerry Connolly Demolishes Right-Wing Activist at IRS Hearing
I love watching them squirm..
(snip)
In this hearing, Rep. Connolly points to egregious, extremely partisan, right-wing political activities by the Assistant Attorney General to the Civil Rights Division in the Bush administration. Rep. Connolly notes that a DOJ Inspector General's report found that Deputy Assistant Atttorney General Bradley Schlossman, for whom von Spakovsky worked, had "violated federal law and department policy by considering political affiliations in hiring decisions and other personnel actions such as the assignment of cases to career attorneys." According to the IG, Schlossman "placed limitations on the assignment of cases to attorneys who he described as 'libs' or 'pinkos' and he requested that important cases be handled by conservative attorneys he had hired instead." These are allegations more serious – and more real – than the accusations against the Obama administration. - See more at: http://thecontributor.com/video-rep-connolly-demolishes-right-wing-activist-hans-von-spakovsky-irs-hearing#sthash.fIm3DTp8.dpuf
