Obama had his very own man at Treasury (controlling the IRS)

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

CONNECTING THE DOTS: Obama's stranglegold on Treasury via COS Rahm Emanuel's dual role

THE TARGETING PAPER TRAIL BEGINS: Soon as they occupied the WH, Obama and the Chicago con artists (a) took control of the US Census; (b) Obama placed his COS Rahm Emanuel in control of the US Dept of the Treasury (the IRS). Read on.

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

THE SMOKING GUN---WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the Obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move.

When he got to Treasury, WH COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings of the Treasury that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials. Reported by WSJ / 05/31/09

MOMENTS TO REMEMBER Obama was fond of saying "Tea Parties are a threat to democracy."

Obama told hispanics, " we will reward our friends and punish our enemies."

Valerie Jarrett ominously warned, they "would not forget" which Americans did not worship Obama.

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

IRS: Chief counsel didn’t learn of Tea Party targeting until 2013
By Bernie Becker - 05/15/13 02:04 PM ET

The IRS said Wednesday that its chief counsel did not participate in an August 2011 meeting on the agency’s treatment of groups seeking tax-exempt status.

A new report from Treasury’s inspector general for tax administration says that staffers met with the chief counsel, just over a month after a separate official told employees to stop flagging cases based on names like “Tea Party” and “patriots.”

In a statement, the IRS said that the chief counsel, William Wilkins, was not involved in overseeing applications for 501(c)(4) tax-exempt status, and that Wilkins “did not learn about specific groups being singled out by name until earlier this year.”

The August 2011 meeting, the IRS added, “involved staff attorneys several layers below Wilkins,” and the chief counsel did not discuss tax-exempt applications with Treasury’s general counsel.

As the IRS’s lead lawyer, Wilkins sits in one of only two presidential appointees at the agency. The president also appoints the IRS commissioner.

The chief counsel’s office also contains some 1,600 lawyers, the statement said, and reference to “chief counsel” could mean that an IRS staffer talked to any of those attorneys – and not necessarily Wilkins.

White House officials have stressed that the president and West Wing officials had no involvement in the IRS targeting of conservative groups.

The Treasury inspector general report found that inefficient management at the IRS played a role in allowing the agency to request unnecessary information and to use inappropriate criteria to single out groups seeking tax-exempt status.
