In just the last few days, two more officers have been killed, one in Texas and one in Illinois.

Despite the lack of evidence that there IS an increase in cops shooting blacks, a few recent killings of blacks by cops has spawned the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

Last year, 6000 blacks killed other blacks, dwarfing the tiny number of blacks killed by cops. Nearly all the cops who killed blacks--and whites for that matter--are vindicated by an investigation or not charged by a grand jury or are acquitted 100 by a jury.

In Chicago alone, 40 people are killed each month, most of them black.

And 75% of the cases are unsolved! 

Crickets.

Marsha Blackburn Circulating Letter Calling On Irs To Investigate Clinton Foundation Tax Status

By Matthew Boyle, May 13, 2015, Breitbart.com

Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) 72% is working on building congressional support for pressure on the IRS to investigate the tax exempt status of the Clinton Foundation, Breitbart News has learned.

A draft copy of a letter from Blackburn—that she’s circulating around Capitol Hill for signatures from her colleagues—to IRS commissioner John Koskinen asks him to review the tax-exempt status of the foundation. Blackburn and her colleagues will write that “recent media reports have revealed that the Foundation failed to report millions of dollars in grants from foreign governments that it accepted while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State and that it facilitated private business transactions between foreign entities” and as such, “given the substantial public interest involved, we feel a prompt review of the Foundation’s tax-exempt status is appropriate to determine whether it is acting within the scope of its charitable mission.”

Technically, Blackburn’s letter notes, the Clinton Foundation is required to file an IRS 990 every year listing foreign contributions. But, she writes, Clinton’s Foundation “failed to report tens of millions of dollars in foreign government grants between 2010 and 2012.” Citing how Clinton’s Foundation officials and Bill Clinton himself admitted they didn’t handle the IRS filings correctly, Blackburn’s letter to the IRS commissioner argues that the Clinton Foundation’s “failure to report the donations is problematic and deserves enhanced scrutiny given Mrs. Clinton’s position as Secretary of State at the time.”

Watergate's Woodward: If I Were Young, I’d Investigate The IRS

Bob Woodward
Susan Jones, Oct. 27, 2014, CNSnews.com

Long after he investigated the Watergate scandal, Bob Woodward says "more reporting" is needed on other issues of the day, including the IRS scandal:

"More reporting is always the solution," Woodward told Fox News's Howard Kurtz in an interview that aired on Sunday.

"I think there is a great lesson in all of this for older reporters, like you and myself, and for younger reporters. The facts, you know, who are the witnesses? How do they know this? Do they have an axe to grind?

Bergdahl Investigation In Final Stage

By Dan Lamothe, Aug. 15, 2014, Washingtonpost.com

The Army’s investigation into the 2009 disappearance of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has entered the final stage, Army officials said Friday, but they cautioned that it will take at least three more weeks for a final draft to be completed and even longer for it to be presented to top Army leaders.

The investigating officer, Army Maj. Gen. Kenneth Dahl, questioned Bergdahl last week over two days, said his civilian lawyer, Eugene R. Fidell. Dahl is working to establish what happened to the soldier who went missing from his patrol base in Afghanistan’s Paktika province on June 30, 2009, and was imprisoned by militants for five years, some of that time in a locked cage. He was recovered by the United States on May 31 in a controversial exchange for five Taliban detainees held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Dahl is in the process of completing his draft report, but “it is possible that he will have to follow up on outstanding issues,” said Wayne Hall, an Army spokesman. The general’s report will undergo a separate legal review before it is presented to top Army officials, and it isn’t clear how long that could take.

The results of the investigation could significantly affect Bergdahl’s future. At stake: An Army determination of whether it should bring criminal charges against him for deserting his post or going absent without leave, both of which are illegal under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Some fellow soldiers in his platoon have insisted that is the case, but Bergdahl’s mental status at the time is also likely to be examined and could be a factor in any determination.
