These are posted stories. They are not legal pieces of evidence that will hold up in court. I know this is tough for you, but a court is not the same as public opinion. You must be able to PROVE stuff, not just present evidence. The defense will always have counter evidence.

In determining whether to proceed with a case, ANY prosecutor has to measure the likelihood of a conviction. The case itself costs money, incredible time (not just of the investigators, but of witnesses-—who leave, die, disappear, develop memory diseases and change stories). If you lose such a case, it’s a major defeat and you won’t get another shot at anyone else.

Prosecutors just do not bring cases they think they cannot win-—much different from civil cases where you can afford to “take a shot.”

For example, “IRS TARGETED TEA PARTY GROUPS” will immediately be subjected to “what do you mean by ‘target?’ What about x, y, z liberal groups (and there were some)?” Then even if you establish that the IRS did indeed “target” groups, your next burden of proof is that Lerner herself not only was AWARE of it but DIRECTED it, so where are your internal e-mails and memos? I guarantee Judicial Watch or CBS don’t have those. And even if you find them, they would literally have to say (Lerner): “I want you to specifically target Tea Party groups because I don’t like them.”

It’s not enough legally to even have her instruct targeting-—it would have to be because of a specific illegal reason (not liking them) as opposed to suspicion that they may, as a group, not be filing the proper paperwork.

Again, I know this is hard. I am telling you this as one who was AUDITED by the IRS four years ago and we strongly suspect it was because I was a conservative filmmaker. BUT . . . the agent in the room was a former UD student who assured me it was random and that there were only three companies in Dayton that came up in our bracket, and they were told to investigate two. Also, there were indeed some (what I thought were minor) “red flags” involving some investments into the company. Legal, but enough to cause someone to look twice.

Now, if you still want to continue, don’t. You have your mind made up. I’m trying to explain to you how the internals of such an investigation work.
