“There have been a lot of stupid conspiracies in American and world history,” said Charles Krauthammer on Special Report. “The idea of arguing that [the White House ordering the IRS targeting] is dumb because it would have been stupid is nonsensical. It shows you how afraid they are.”
Krauthammer observed that the audit on the IRS did not seek to investigate certain crucial questions, which will have to be answered. “We aren’t even at the beginning here.”
As for the White House’s defense, said Krauthammer:
The White House is making a big mistake. It looks as if its strategy is stonewall and have this argument that it was a bunch of rogues in Cincinnati. That is not going to hold, so in the end they’re going to have to change their story, again. Every time you change your story you lose the trust of people who are hearing you. . . .
The only question is how high did it go? I think the only way is to give immunity to people like Lois Lerner, and we will learn as we go up the chain.
