What baffles me here is that apparently nobody at the IRS raised a flag until the inspector general had his report ready. There, and at the EPA, and the DOJ, and.....didn't ANYBODY say "I'm sorry, I'm a liberal Democrat, but my party objected to this in 1973, and I object to it now."
The degree to which cover-ups succeed these days is getting more and more impressive.

Apparently not, Bubba. It's been 40 years since those days. If you think about it, 1973 is as far away from today as the Great Depression was from 1973.
The lesson of Watergate isn't necessarily what we thought it was at the time.

And over 200 years since the Constitution was enacted. It's all making (non)sense to me now.
Sigh.
I've been waiting for Ace Commenter Rich(tm) to weigh in and tell us what it's really, really about.
