The four government investigations into the IRS scandal are the “best news Obama could have had,” according to Rush Limbaugh, who today charged that little action will result from their findings. Without full access to the evidence — and agreement on what the evidence suggests — none of the investigative bodies, which at this point include the Senate Finance Committee, the House Oversight and Ways and Means Committees, and the IRS itself, will be able to issue a conclusive, effective verdict on the controversies, he said.

“None of the committees have total authority to look at everything,” he explained, so “when it is all said and done, nothing changes.” If Limbaugh’s prediction proves correct, no one will be held responsible and the administration will likely escape further criticism.

“This, folks,” Limbaugh concluded, “is how Washington . . . circles the wagons around itself” and avoids the consequences of its actions.
