The truth about the IRS

The title is meant to be an enigma.  An oxymoron.   

Who can know the truth about the IRS?  The questions posed by the convened House and Ways Committee seem appropriate. 

 What is the truth?  Where is the truth hidden?  Why has the truth mysteriously disappeared?  Is it coincidental that the truth we asked for has now been destroyed?  Given all the time granted the IRS (three years), why are we just now discovering that the truth on certain government hard drives--and backed up per regulation--can no longer be retrieved?

I guess we will never know the truth about...

....whether or not certain members of Congress were in cahoots with the IRS about targeting conservative groups about their tax exempt status?

...whether or not the stories of vicious IRS pursuit of certain political conservatives openly shared in the news podcast, "The World and Everything in It", will ever see the light of day in the public press?

...whether or not Lois Lerner, now comfortably retired, will ever have to tell the truth about her role in attending to the political "business" of the IRS?

...whether or not our President was truly surprised by the charges levied against the IRS and how was it he could say, "There was not even a hint of impropriety"?

Yes, I am a mostly-conservative citizen.  Yes, I believe there is screaming evidence of the IRS's engagement in political activities.

Sadly, I believe, the truth will never be known  It tragically--if not coincidentally--crashed--and went to its grave with its secrets forever saved.

Just a thought...

I believe there will one day be a reckoning of what is true and what is false; the Bible says it will be shouted from the rooftops.  

Too few care now.  I suppose it won't matter later.

Still...I wonder who will be listening then?
