Obama’s Chaos Strategy: The Case of the IRS IED
American Greatness ^ | 15 Apr, 2017 | D Hawthorne

s Lois Lerner attempts to garner the public’s sympathy and a sealing of her testimony in a federal case looking into the targeting of political opponents during the Obama Administration, new reports now suggest that the House of Representatives will recommend the Department of Justice (DOJ) file criminal charges against her. Lerner is the former IRS Exempt Organizations Director and, as such, she is the central player in the pending explosion of the Obama era IRS scandal.

The IRS targeting scandal of profiling and harassing conservative political groups began in March 2010, shortly after the January 2010 Citizens United case was decided by the Supreme Court. No Tea Party applications were approved for the next 27 months, while numerous liberal groups were routinely cleared.

The True the Vote case began in July 2010 and was a particularly egregious one, focusing on a local Texas Tea Party group and its founder, Catherine Englebrecht. In this case the initial IRS investigation triggered additional visits from the FBI, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms.

Ominously, the DOJ was directly involved at a high level in the IRS scandal starting as early as October 2010 when the head of Justice’s Election Crimes Branch, Richard Pilger, met with Lois Lerner. Pilger subsequently told House investigators that the meeting was requested by Jack Smith, the director of DOJ’s Public Integrity Section. It took a Judicial Watch lawsuit to make this information public in December 2014. Further DOJ conflicts-of-interest concerns arose in related IRS scandal issues.

Lerner’s hard drive crashed in June 2011 and was destroyed by the IRS. The IRS did not look for her subpoenaed emails in five other areas—her Blackberry, the email server, the backup email server, the loaner laptop, and the backup tapes, causing 24,000 emails to be lost.

Meanwhile the IRS took only 10 days to approve the tax exempt status of the After School Satan Club.

Fedgov officials are above the Law and they know it.

FACTS ON FILE: Lerner was working with Obama's DOJ to figure out how to charge TEA Party filers with crimes.

=============================================

(HAT TIP GRAMPA DAVE) A question that hasn’t been asked yet.
Did Obama and Susan Rice use NSA/CIA/GCHQ intel to ID Tea Party people to become IRS targets?

=========================================

Looks like Obama gave "Susan the Sifter" yet another job (smirk).

"Susan, sift through all the intel. Get me something damaging on Penguin
books so I can shake them down for my book deal."

"And get Harvey Einstein's tax returns. Malia needs a job."

"Oh, and Lois Lerner needs intel to target those deplorable conservatives."

Throw her in prison; throw Koskinen in the adjoining cell.

Will she spend many years in prison for a large payoff?
