Jeff Sessions’ DoJ Will Not Investigate IRS Suppression of Tea Party Groups

But the September 8 letter from the Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ Justice Department said it would not even reopen the investigation because officials require “proof beyond a reasonable doubt that a government employee intentionally discriminated against an applicant for a tax-exempt status based on viewpoint.”

Sessions is proving himself to be a coward, at least when dealing (more accurately, NOT dealing) with government corruption. For that matter, I see no indications that Sessions has any gumption to go over Antifa, and other leftists entities.

Rudy would have been a Bulldog

[cherry]

I was hoping for a highly confident alpha male to be our Attorney general...a Rudy type...

I suppose they have to pick their battles...

[JPJones]

LOSING.

Verrrry innovative...!

Doddering WEAK old man..!

I used to freaking worship him, now he’s NOTHING.

NOTHING...!

[New Jersey Realist]

This is total BS!

[relictele]

Toothless, gutless and institutionalized.

The evidence against Lerner and the IRS is overwhelming. The evidence against Schultz is overwhelming. The evidence against Hillary Clinton is overwhelming.

All the swampers congratulating themselves on their little lawless void may not be as enthusiastic when the rest of the nation decides it’s not big on paying taxes and Obamacare fines.

It’s not Sessions. It’s Trump. If Trump wanted it done, he could order Sessions to do it. Why doesn’t he?

Some people said this would be the way it would be, and tehy got attacked for saying so.

"The Tea Party is bad..! We need STABILITY..!"

[Tax-chick]

“No, you don’t understand! Trump can’t do anything because ... um ... because ... um, well, you know ... well, he can’t!”

[TADSLOS]

YOU’RE FIRED!!! Come on, Trump, throw this useless bum OUT!

[pacificus]

This is NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!!

Justice is investigating Trump for Collusion with ZERO F’N PROOF of collusion!!!

Sessions is a spineless POS!!!!

[Enchante]

re: " “proof beyond a reasonable doubt"

Crazy. You don't require that level of proof merely to open an investigation!!! That's like saying we can never investigate crimes unless we already have complete and sufficient evidence for a conviction.

YOU CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION TO DETERMINE THE FACTS, WHAT HAPPENED AND WHETHER OR NOT THERE SHOULD BE A PROSECUTION.

[wardamneagle]

And Hillary perjury with Benghazi hearings?

[Vic S]

Well, at least he didn’t use the ‘no intent’ or ‘no public interest’ excuse. How many of these lame excuses are left? I have a feeling we’ll find out.

[proust]

I wish I could say I was surprised.

[rdcbn]

No way is anyone in Congress going to take a look fat the IRS torpedo of the TEA Party.

Republicans like Miitch McConnell, John McCain. Lindsey Graham, John Boehner and loss of other big name Republicans were major players in the bi partisan war against the TEA Party.

LOCK HIM UP!!!!!!!!!!

The problem is that GOP big wigs like McCain, Graham, Murkowski, McConnel are probably fingered as accessories in the discrimination against tea party groups.

They wanted the tea party destroyed just as much as the demorats.
