Keep the name Robert Bauer up front.
It came down thru Bob Bauer the White House General Consul who met with Shulman over 118 times at the Whitehouse.
Then Shulman assigned it to Lerner. This scandal goes all the way back up to the top in the White House.
Read below on Bauer.
I hope that the GOP can tie this goon back to Shulman who visited the White House 122 times but couldn’t remember anything.

Bauer is returning to New York University Law School this spring to teach a seminar on political reform.
The course will encompass campaign finance, lobbying laws, voting rights and more—topics Mr. Bauer has had ample exposure to during his 30 years of practice as a lawyer, which include stints working for political campaigns and the Democratic National Committee.
It gets better.
Read the end of this paragraph.
During his time on the campaign trail, Mr. Bauer led challenges to new voter laws backed by Republicans—including suing the state of Ohio in July—and lobbied the Federal Election Commission to allow individuals to text in donations (as did his Romney counterpart). Mr. Bauer also sought to compel the well-funded Republican advocacy group Crossroads GPS to disclose the names of its donors, citing millions of dollars the group has spent on campaign ads attacking Democrats.
This is the guy who pulled the chains with the IRS on behalf of the White House.
You can’t make this stuff up. On May 21, 2013 Obama appointed Bob Bauer to A FEC Presidential Commission on Election Administration.
LOOKING TO STEAL MORE VOTES IN THE FUTURE.

Good post.
I haven't seen any article stating that Bauer met with Shulman over 118 times. Do you have a link for this?
