Friday on Fox News Channel’s “On The Record,” Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) told host Greta Van Susteren that the Obama administration’s actions in the IRS scandal could be “big enough it could bring down the presidency.”
The outgoing-Minnesota congresswoman and former tax law attorney said, “Well, there is no question this is a scandal. It’s a scandal of epic proportions. Big enough it could bring down the presidency. The only thing that’s phony are all of the denials coming out of the White House.”
“As a former tax official, if I would have done that as an employee of the IRS, I would have been referred to the Justice Department, the criminal division,” she added. “I would have not only lost my job, Greta, I would have been subject to a felony of five years hard time, in a federal penitentiary. That’s what we are talking about. that’s how serious this is the. IRS has broken laws and the american people need a redress of this grievance.”
