Who Is the Savvy William Wilkins?

Obama-appointed IRS Chief Counsel is sued. IRS targeted Christine O’Donnell.

So.

Buckle in.

True the Vote, the Tea Party-style group targeted by Internal Revenue Service officials who are now at the very heart of the IRS scandal, is suing William Wilkins.

That would be the William Wilkins who is the IRS Chief Counsel.

True the Vote, “the nation’s leading voters’ rights and election integrity organization,” is announcing today that it is adding Wilkins — one of only two Obama political appointees to the IRS — to its federal lawsuit against the IRS.

Engelbrecht, who was the subject of a report here in May, was the target of federal investigations into both her political group and her manufacturing business after she filed for tax exempt status for her organizations. The group is represented by True the Vote counsel Cleta Mitchell.

The other five IRS officials being added to the lawsuit other than Chief Counsel Wilkins are IRS officials Holly Paz, Steve Grodnitzky, David Fish, Michael Seto, and Cindy Thomas. According to the suit, the first four officials “all were directors or in positions of management within the Washington, DC IRS offices during the targeting of conservative, non-profit applicants.” Additionally, the group says “the TIGTA (Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration) Report reveals each was involved in reviewing applications for tax exemption status and developing and reviewing the criteria used to target these applicants.” Thomas was “the Program Manager (highest position) at the IRS Determinations Unit in Cincinnati, OH.

Congress and the FBI should be on this. Why does the tea party have to do the dirty work?

The FBI is controlled by Eric Holder & the illegal usurper in the White House.

Congress is working on this...this is how all the names of the key players came about. This past week Carter Hull fingered all the top key players including Wilkins.

Recall that it took over a year for the Watergate investigations to lead to drafting of the articles of impeachment against Nixon. 2014 looks like a bad year for democrat brand...
