   Dear Orly,

   Per the Washington Times, six Democrats joined Republicans in voting to hold Lois Lerner in contempt. And, minutes later, more than two dozen Democrats joined Republicans to vote on a resolution asking the Justice Dept to name a special prosecutor to investigate broader IRS targeting of Tea Parties.

   Demo-rats looking out for their own self-interest in advance of Nov elections!

   Breaking! Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan admitted he is a black racist who hates whitey. Jordan has attacked Clippers owner Donald Sterling for racist comments in private while Jordan admitted publicly that he hates whites. The hypocrisy just never ends. Does this fool Jordan not realize that whitey is the one that made him a rich man? It wasn’t the blacks that did it. Another idiot like Shaq who owns a Bakkaball team!

   Yes Michael Jordan admitted it by stating “I hate all white people.” At least he admitted it and didn’t try to hide it from Charlotte Bobcat season ticket holders.

   (1)”What happens next? Unlike a bill, a contempt resolution does not have to pass the Senate or be signed by the president. Under the law, the resolution is automatically referred to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, who must present it to a grand jury. Refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena is a class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to a $100,000 fine and up to a year in jail.- – – please read article for more – – https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2014/05/07/lois-lerner-contempt-of-congress/8815051/ (2)

   Here is an article from Sports Illustrated, where Michael Jordan states in his new book, that he considered himself a racist when he was young (age 14?)

    Michael Jordan’s struggles with racism as a child were among the topics touched on in a biography released Tuesday.

    In the book, titled “Michael Jordan: The Life,” author Roland Lazenby described how Jordan grew up in the 1970s in North Carolina — where Jordan said the Ku Klux Klan was dominant and that that atmosphere shaped his views on race.

    In a book released Tuesday, the impact racism had on Michael Jordan’s childhood is detailed.
    Those views were strengthened after he watched the miniseries “Roots” and learned about the suffering of his African-American ancestors.

    The tipping point, Lazenby wrote, came in 1977, when a girl at his school called him the N-word.

    “So I threw a soda at her,” Jordan said in a 1992 interview with Playboy magazine, the details of which were written about in Lazenby’s book. “I was really rebelling. I considered myself a racist at the time. Basically, I was against all white people.”

    Jordan did not speak to Lazenby for the biography. The New York Post and other media outlets reported Wednesday that Jordan’s quotes on racism as a child were in the book, but his publishing company issued a clarification later via a statement to ESPN.

    “Michael Jordan made those statements in a 1992 interview with Playboy magazine, referring to a specific event from his childhood,” the statement from Little, Brown and Company read. “This is reported in Lazenby’s book, which is a definitive biography of MJ’s life and covers Mr. Jordan’s childhood thoroughly — but Mr. Jordan did not make those statements to Lazenby for this book. As stated very clearly in previous interviews, Mr. Jordan did not participate in “Michael Jordan: The Life” by Roland Lazenby.”

    Suspended by the school for his actions, Lazenby writes that Jordan said his mother intervened, urging him not to have racial hatred dominate his life.

    The book also details how Jordan was one of only two black players on the school baseball team and was called inferior while he played.

    Now 51, Jordan went on to win six NBA titles with the Chicago Bulls. He also took a break from basketball to try his hand at professional baseball.

    Former Bulls general manager Jerry Krause says in the book that Jordan was powered throughout his life by any negative experiences, including those in his childhood.

    “He remembers everyone who ever didn’t think he was going to be great,” Krause said in an excerpt published by Foxsports.com. “He remembers every negative story that’s ever been written about him.”

    The book’s release comes one week after Jordan, the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, spoke out against Los Angeles Clippers counterpart Donald Sterling, who was taped making racing comments last month and since has been banned by the NBA.

    “As an owner, I’m obviously disgusted that a fellow team owner could hold such sickening and offensive views,” Jordan said in a statement. “… As a former player, I’m completely outraged.

    “There is no room in the NBA — or anywhere else — for the kind of racism and hatred that Mr. Sterling allegedly expressed. I am appalled that this type of ignorance still exists within our country and at the highest levels of our sport. In a league where the majority of players are African-American, we cannot and must not tolerate discrimination at any level.”

    Lois Lerner is just a fall guy/gal. The corruption stops here? No way. Keep reaching higher! We all know who she is protecting.

    The accused, Lois Lerner, must now be formally
    tried by a trial (of peers). She has been duly
    charged. If Holder refuses, it is dereliction
    of duty, and he will be found IN CONTEMPT OF
    CONGRESS again, etc.
    Unless Lois can obtain a bond hearing, she will
    possibly go to a Federal prison, pending the
    outcome. If Holder refers all to a Federal
    Judge, Federal Court, then that Judge will agree to make A FINAL DECISION WITH VERDICT.
    Or some other arrangement, etc.

    This will take much time. Maybe up to two
    years. By then, Obot and Holder will be
    gone and vacated WH, etc.

    During this process and counter-process, I
    would suggest that the aggrieved party in the
    Tea Party, all file Invasion of Privacy
    lawsuits and seek TAX REFUNDS due to all the
    discrimination and illegal activity by Lois
    Lerner and IRS staff. Ditto, file a RICO
    lawsuit against Lois Lerner, et al.

    Book her, Danno!!! Do it, Trey!!!

    All the aggrieved must file INVASION OF PRIVACY
    lawsuits against Lois, and ask for TAX REFUNDS
    from IRS for the period involved. Further,
    IMO, there should be a RICO act lawsuit against
    Lois Lerner for harassment.

    She has now been charged, and should be tried
    and convicted. She may see time yet in Federal
    prison, unless she plea bargains. There are
    further crimes linked to her and to her staff.
    She also committed many of the same crimes at
    the FEC when she worked for the FEC. No doubt.
    She has not yet been charged for the FEC crimes. This may still be pending, IMO. There
    is no excuse for this harassment behavior. Also, the OPM did not charge her with the misuse of the e-mails on Federal time, nor
    from her Chevy Chase home. Big mistake. IMO.
    Needs to pay a fine too.

    Book her, Danno~!!!
