Umm...every government I have ever encountered has had a few people take inappropriate steps.
Yes - I beleive the responsibility ultimately falls on the leadership - and Obama said as much. But there is no evidence that Obama caused the IRS thing to happen.
All evidence I know of shows it was an internal decision and, when it was brought to light, steps were taken to address it.
It's like what is going on with Meuller today. Someone on Meuller's team posts anti-Trump language in texts - and is immediately fired when it comes to light.
But the emphasis is not on the action taken when the information was revealed - it is on the fact this person texted these things to begin with.
When the "priest scandal" broke out a few years ago - I was not one of those who went gaga over the fact that some priests abused children. Yes - it's horrific. Yes, it needs to be addressed. But the incidence of pedophelia within the clewrgy, as best I could tell, was not significantly different than the rest of the world. Yes - we expect more from "men of god," but they are men/human and humans are flawed. They need to be held accountable, punished, and whatever that can be done to amend the harm needs to be done. I did not fault the catholic church as a whole for the bad actions of a few of its members. I DID fault the catholic church for the persistent choice to hide the truth, shuffle these men around, and expose even MORE children to harm. THAT was FAR more reprehensible than the moral failings of several men. THAT, to me, indicated an institutional malevolence that was unacceptable for an organization making a claim to moral leadership.

CP - you watched a hacked-up video. Did you actually go back to the ENTIRE speech, and see what he actually was saying?
