GO Larry GO!!

I won't be surprised if JW gets pursued by the Bush administration's IRS gestapo.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

Well, it has become obvious that the IRS is a political whore, pandering to whatever party is currently in power. Politicians know that the IRS is a powerful political tool for which to harass their enemies. That is why the IRS needs to be well, abolished.

God bless Larry Klayman for still believing the crimes billclinton committed do matter
thank God for those who had the courage to stand up to clinton when he was the most powerful man in the world
they are the heroines and heros who saved our Republic
Love, Palo

[palo verde]

you are wonderful

[FreedominJesusChrist]

It is always much easier to stand on the sidelines and bark, rather than actually do something about the things we that we wrong with this world. Larry Klayman and Judicial Watch are prime examples of the mavericks and underdog fighters who actively stand up against the evil in this world.

You are absolutely correct, God Bless the staff of Judicial Watch and Larry Klayman.

"You are absolutely correct, God Bless the staff of Judicial Watch and Larry Klayman."

Agreed. It's incredible to see posters actually gleeful that the Bush Administration is no Different than the Clinton Admin. WRT using the IRS as THEIR tool for intimidation and harrassment.

[Cable225]

After Judicial Watch scored legal victories against the Clinton Administration,

Does anyone remember these? I can't seem to recall them off the top of my head.

He probably can't list them now because funds are a little tight, sounds like it's time for a fundraising letter.

[vannrox]

"...Another IRS official admitted in June, 1999, that the political affiliations of Judicial Watch’s directors is a factor in any IRS audit..."

[CyberSpartacus]

I see nothing wrong with pursuing government corruption. I don't care who's ox is being gored.

[humbletheFiend]

It seems pretty clear to me. As long as Judicial Watch keeps suing the Government, it should be exempt from any audits. Why can't the Government just wait until Judicial Watch quits suing them?

;-)

[Alamo-Girl]

Fascinating! Thanks for the heads up!

Heard Bill O'Reilly say he was audited three times during the Clinton administration. There were some very suspicious audits during that time. I don't have the list in front of me right now.

[Young Werther]

Last night on O'Reilly there was this doofus lawyer who was defending the woman who received a $500,000 IRS refund. It seems that she claimed a slavery tax credit and the lawyer spoke as if he got his law license on the back of a box of Wheaties.

During the conversation O'Reilly tried to get this lawyer to admit that FRAUD!!!was involved. He also noted that the IRS was acting quite timidly with regards to this woman while he, (O'Reilly), had been audited three times during the Clinton Administration. O'Reilly implied that those audits were politically motivated. I believe!!

[TopQuark]

Do you believe that politically motivated IRS audits are beneficial to our country? What do you mean by "beneficial?" The qestion is whether they are compatible with the very foundation of this "country of laws not men."

[Howlin]

Well, then don't comment.

It's not your place to tell people whether or not they can post on threads. Even yours.

[Howlin]

If they do end up getting audited, I can only hope that they have had perfectionist accountants and tax gurus working for them.

I can hardly wait to read your rationalizations about why Klayman has been hiding his financial statements. It should be interesting.

[RJCogburn]

This is larger than JW, for which I personally have no love.

Let's ignore JW for a moment and address what Novak writes.

The Justice Department's stonewall fortifies considerations of privacy and lack of congressional interest in protecting the IRS from scrutiny. The IRS never has explained its intrusion during the Clinton administration's first year when the new president reshaped the White House travel office. Two days after White House sources suggested kickbacks were paid to travel office functionaries from charter airlines, a charter used by the White House--Ultrair of Nashville, Tenn.--was visited by IRS agents for an unannounced audit.

In 1996, the conservative (and anti-Clinton) Western Journalism Center in Los Angeles was hit by an IRS audit from which it never fully recovered. Judicial Watch filed a complaint in behalf of the WJC on May 13, 1998, and the IRS audit of Klayman's organization was launched Oct. 9, 1998. Also swiftly visited with audits were Clinton accusers Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones and Gennifer Flowers, former travel office chief Billy Dale, and even Katherine Prudhomme, who once bothered Vice President Al Gore by asking about Broaddrick--plus assorted conservative organizations.

Your absence on the Novak thread is conspicous....or will you also criticize him and avoid the larger issue?

Justice turns blind eye to IRS
