Wow! He’s telling us how the FBI works. If they come close to taking out our leader, every freakin’ dime needs to be cut off. And that should be just the beginning.
Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller has been investigating whether President Donald Trump colluded with Russia during and after his campaign. While no evidence of that collusion has come out in the investigation, Mueller has found himself and his team under fire for hiring anti-Trump investigators.
Now Mueller is in the hot seat for something else entirely. Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton says his watchdog organization has “uncovered the dirty little secret” that Mueller’s FBI was involved in the Obama IRS scandal that targeted and harassed conservative groups.
The Plot Thickens
Judicial Watch, a legal group that has long acted as a thorn in the corrupt federal government’s side by forcing public transparency, worked to expose the IRS scandal.
Last year, Judicial Watch proved that IRS personnel under Lois Lerner were targeting conservative groups that opposed Obama and applied for non-profit status.
JW President Tom Fitton, however, says there’s far more to the story. According to Fitton, Mueller’s FBI was going after those same groups, identified by Lois Lerner in their applications for 501(c)(3) status.
Fitton stated:
One of the things we uncovered in investigating the IRS scandal in getting documents Congress couldn’t get and didn’t want to get was that the Justice Department was working with Lois Lerner’s FBI to prosecute the very groups that Lois Lerner was suppressing through the IRS…the Justice Department and the FBI under Robert Mueller were concocting ways to prosecute President Obama’s political opposition.
The problem, as Fitton points out, is that the FBI got caught and had to turn over documents they obtained—illegally—from the IRS.
