so you are in favor of the Obama campaign using the IRS and other federal agencies to indict Romney DrDan Jul 2012 #16
I'm in favor of those agencies doing their job ProdigalJunkMail Jul 2012 #18
"It would seem a sure-fire way to submarine the campaign" DrDan Jul 2012 #20
doing their job is enforcing the law ProdigalJunkMail Jul 2012 #21
have you given any thought to how this would play out in the media? DrDan Jul 2012 #22
the media should have no bearing on it ProdigalJunkMail Jul 2012 #23
and that is EXACTLY what you are proposing DrDan Jul 2012 #24
no i am not... ProdigalJunkMail Jul 2012 #26
it is EXACTLY what you are suggesting - using federal agencies for political purposes DrDan Jul 2012 #29
wow.. you just don't get it. ProdigalJunkMail Jul 2012 #31
ok - you got it figured out . . . DrDan Jul 2012 #34
i am not suggesting HIS CAMPAIGN DO ANYTHING ProdigalJunkMail Jul 2012 #36
exactly - you are suggesting FEDERAL AGENCIES do it DrDan Jul 2012 #38
right...as is their JOB... ProdigalJunkMail Jul 2012 #41

2002 is 9 years back - statute of limitations on taxes is 7 years KurtNYC Jul 2012 #17
there is no seven year statute of limitations ProdigalJunkMail Jul 2012 #19
As explained by the IRS, the statute of limitations is not "7 years." It never has been. AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2012 #32
Those are IRS rules but the felony at issue is an SEC violation KurtNYC Jul 2012 #54
When someone says, "statute of limitations on taxes is 7 years," I assume that they are using words AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2012 #56
It's probably not as clear as you think Marcia Brady Jul 2012 #25
i get that...okay ProdigalJunkMail Jul 2012 #30
You mean the Obama campaign? Marcia Brady Jul 2012 #52

because he was working for Bain Enrique Jul 2012 #28
The immediate consequence would be articles of impeachment in the House jberryhill Jul 2012 #35
if the SEC filings are true ProdigalJunkMail Jul 2012 #39
Rmoney has de facto immunity because he is among the super-rich. AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2012 #43
Beengo! Iggy Jul 2012 #67
