How do you spell incompetent? We spell it M-u-e-l-l-e-r. Can you imagine being the head of an agency tasked with investigating the IRS and not knowing who is doing that work? If he worked for a private company, he would be fired! Since he works for the government he won't.
This is just another example of a government which is too large and therefore, by definition, incompetent.

FBI Director Robert Mueller: I Dunno Which Of My Guys Is Investigating The IRS
June 14, 2013 by Ben Bullard
Of all the cases the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is looking into, there’s probably not a higher-profile one than that of the Internal Revenue Service and its discriminatory election-year targeting of conservative nonprofit groups.
But when FBI Director Robert Mueller testified before the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday, he seemed pretty uninformed about where the IRS investigation stood – even though it’s supposedly entering its second month.
Asked by Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) who the case’s lead investigator is, Mueller replied, “Off the top of my head, no.”
“It’s the most important issue in front of the country in the last six weeks, and you don’t know who’s heading up the case? Who the lead investigator is?” pressed Jordan.
“At this juncture, no, I do not know,” Mueller replied.
A legacy appointee of the George W. Bush Administration, Mueller was reappointed by President Barack Obama for a two-year extension beyond his present term, which was to have expired in Sept. 2011.
Mueller: "At this juncture, no, I do not know..."
ReplyDeleteWhat "juncture" are they at? It suggests to me that he hasn't yet appointed a lead investigator, but did not want to admit that to the committee.
Or it could be that he is 69 years old and has problems with remembering names of all his investigators. He's probably got his best people looking for Snowden or working on Syria, not poking around in the IRS.
