No Congress member interrupted her:

Cleta Mitchell may be the most dangerous woman in America. She is the prominent Washington attorney who represents several clients victimized by the criminal misconduct of the IRS over the past four years.

She speaks with authority when she asserts, as she does in the video below, that the Obama administration is responsible for “lies upon lies” covering up the multifarious, politically inspired wrongdoing of the IRS.

She gave a short course (seven minutes) for interested citizens at a House hearing yesterday. Listen to what she has to say. She knows what she is talking about

PowerLine cites article 2 of the Nixon impeachment, trying to get IRS to punish White House enemies — but not succeeding because IRS was full of Democrats. Heavy stuff here.

PowerLine’s hat tip is to Debra Heine and Breitbart. Mine too.

Perp is apparently black:

The student who said he was attacked, eighth-grader Omid Babakhani, 13, said he was walking with a friend to his locker when a familiar voice behind him said, “Hey, Persian,” then, “Do you want to fight a black man?”

The ‘hood came to Crystal Lake.

The president wants to help young black men and so bustles about calling for commissions, committees, and meetings.

Wants to get down to some serious across-board social engineering. But . . . but . . . but . . . !!

School vouchers, in study after study, have been shown to boost black graduation rates and college attendance. In other words, they help keep kids in school and out of trouble. Yet the president opposes the school voucher program in D.C. and is trying to shut down another one in Louisiana. Not helpful.

Mr. Obama advocates for a higher minimum wage, which will make it more expensive to hire young blacks who are already experiencing 38 percent unemployment, or double the jobless rate among white teens. Again, not helpful.

The Obama administration hassles businesses that do criminal background checks on potential hires, even though research shows that employers who perform criminal background checks are more likely to hire black applicants than employers who do not. Blacks, who currently face 12 percent unemployment, don’t need this kind of “help,” either.

He’s like the fellow one night looking for his lost wallet under a lamp post. Lost something here? he is asked. Not here, he says, over there, pointing. So why are you looking for it here? The light’s better, he says.

It’s his comfort zone, you know.

Trib, in a page one story about State’s Atty. Alvarez losing first a big case and then her cool when discussing with reporters, has this about jurors’ willingness to be quizzed:

While a media liaison for Judge Thaddeus Wilson had promised to release the names of jurors after the verdict, the judge instead said he sealed the names at the request of jurors.

While the press rep said jurors would be present, the judge said it wouldn’t happen. Simultaneously? No, because the writer uses “while” as “although,” which is common enough but ill-advised. What do you say when “while” means “at the same time as”? You say “while,” letting the reader puzzle out what you mean.

Bad! It slows the reader down and softens the impact of contrast. It’s a shrinking from the definite and precise. Say instead the judge’s rep said jurors would be available, but the judge [later?] said they wouldn’t, at their request. It’s not a mystery novel you are writing, but a news story.

Point: Don’t disguise or apologize for contrast, as if afraid to be dramatic. Make it clear.

Like Obama about abortion, this info is above State’s spokesman’s pay grade:

I dont have his personal biography in front of me, but what I will convey is as Ive said before judging somebody’s effectiveness, or what role theyll play, or how strong of an Ambassador theyll be, you cant do until they spend some time working on the job in the country, the State Department responded.

It’s also like Nancy Pelosi’s pass ObamaCare to find out what’s in the bill.

And Argentina is close to Catholic and other hearts these days because it’s where Pope Francis came from. Right?
