Is the IRS scandal about to explode in Obama's Face?
Examiner.com ^ | 7/19/2013 | Steven H Ahle

Newly released information shows a very close relationship between President Obama and his man at the IRS, who delayed the Tea party applications. William Wilkins is a long time donor to the democratic party and once fought a case against the IRS in which he defended Jerimiah Wright and the Trinity Church in 2008.

Wilkins was a registered lobbyist for Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr since 1988, and was also a member of the Tax Practice Group, where he counseled nonprofits on compliance. As a lobbyist, he spread money around to both republicans and democrats, but Wilkins worked for the democrats from 1981 to 1988 as democratic counsel for the Senate Finance Committee.

“He’s slicker than Teflon Bill.”

With all due respect, one doesn’t have to be that slick when the media have your back. This whole administration, like the Clinton administration, has operated in a shielded environment

What will be interesting will be to see if he spent as much time in the White House as the IRS head, whether those meetings overlapped, and who else was present.

Naw, it won’t “explode” in Obama’s face. The media will back him when he simply says, “I heard about it like you did when I read it in the newspaper. I knew nothing about it.”

These people excel at breaking the law right in front of your face while no one notices. Isn’t it obvious that this man received a quid pro quo for quaffing the Trinity Church hubbub?

Will the public take time off from talking about justin beaber’s uncivilized bathroom habits and pay attention to the agency that can take all their money and send them to jail?

No they won’t. Obama made sure of that by doing his 20 minute standup routine on Trayvon.

How refreshing it is to read someone who can actually connect the dots for a change and doesn't drone on about how "teflon" Obama supposedly is, like some around here do and mistakenly think they're cynicism actually passes for received wisdom.

FReegards!

In the 70's I worked with a fellow who quit a good job as an engineer to become an aid to Detroit mayor Coleman Young. When Young's sludge hauling scandal broke, this guy took the rap for Young, and was jailed for several years. (Detroit sludge hauling graft is still going full steam ahead, with Representative Conyers' wife sitting in jail for it as this is written.) Meanwhile, the Coleman Young rep is still a representative for the current Detroit mayor, Bing.

The point being, if an employee of a mayor is willing to accept years in jail to protect the mayor, just imagine the control a president has over those willing to protect his legacy. Don't be surprised if silence prevails.

I hate to say that NOTHING will come if this. Nixon was hounded out of office for mere trifles in comparison. There are scores of reasons to impeach Obama, but no one in Washington or the media gives a rats posterior. I fear that Obama will bit by bit grab more power and eventually become dictator and will be met by nothing more than shrugs from the GOP.

Obama has pigmentation immunity. Nothing will harm him.

This time, however, the media has been silenced through threats and assassinations so it includes the so-called “conservative” media and pundits as well. The country is literally being run by a regime mafia, equipped with all the authority and secret weapons of the United States of America. Until those threats are dealt with and disabled, this is truly NOT a free country.
