IRS Scandal Gets Closer To Obama 

"What did the president know and when did he know it?" That has been a central question of Washington scandals ever since Tennessee Senator Howard Baker asked it during the Watergate hearings.

Scandals Back In The News 

The IRS and Benghazi scandals have receded from the headlines in recent weeks, but House Republicans have not forgotten them. And there are major revelations about both scandals today. 

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee held a hearing today featuring top IRS officials who testified once again that the targeting of Tea Party organizations, conservative groups and Christian ministries was not the work of a few rogue agents in the IRS's Cincinnati, Ohio, office.

Will Harry Nuke The Senate? 

Just when you think the atmosphere in Washington can't get any worse, Senate Democrat Leader Harry Reid is threatening to procedurally blow up the Senate. 

Reid has scheduled votes next week on a number of Barack Obama's most controversial nominees. Senate Republicans have been using prolonged debate, or the filibuster, to block these nominations. But now Sen. Reid is threatening to change the Senate's rules unless the GOP backs down.
