On the recordSeptember 30, 1997
one wonders what the IRS would make of the excuses the White House makes whenever it comes to campaign finance law breaking. How ironic it is that the same administration that has an IRS out of control, an IRS that targets average citizens for political purposes, especially if they happen to work for the White House Travel Office, or used to, an IRS that gives one absolutely no benefit of the doubt, is the same administration that actually claims to be cooperating fully with congressional investigators while putting up a stone wall bigger than the Great Wall of China. Do my colleagues think the IRS would be satisfied with the sudden ``I don't recall'' syndrome that happens every time a White House official testifies before Congress? Do my colleagues think the IRS would let them slide with the ``no controlling legal authority'' defense? Do my colleagues think the IRS would cut them some slack if they got caught red handed and then turned around and said, ``The system made me do it, and anyway, everybody cheats''? I wonder.
