Stunning Confirmation: Judicial Watch Obtains IRS Documents Showing McCain Staff Urging IRS To Target Tea Party Groups…
From The Conservative Treehouse:

Posted on June 21, 2018 by sundance
It has long been suspected; the footprints and fingerprints were always present; McCain repeatedly denied it…. now the evidence surfaces.

For those who remember the issues when the IRS, White House and DOJ organized the post 2010 election “shellacking” targeting of Tea Party groups, the latest discovery from Judicial watch is confirmation of a long-held opinion. John McCain was instrumental in supporting the weaponization of the IRS to target tea party groups.



WASHINGTON DC – […] In the full notes of an April 30, 2013, meeting, McCain’s high-ranking staffer [Henry] Kerner recommends harassing non-profit groups until they are unable to continue operating. Kerner tells Lerner, Steve Miller, then chief of staff to IRS commissioner, Nikole Flax, and other IRS officials, “Maybe the solution is to audit so many that it is financially ruinous.” In response, Lerner responded that “it is her job to oversee it all:”

Henry Kerner asked how to get to the abuse of organizations claiming section 501 (c)(4) but designed to be primarily political. Lois Lerner said the system works, but not in real time. Henry Kerner noted that these organizations don’t disclose donors. Lois Lerner said that if they don’t meet the requirements, we can come in and revoke, but it doesn’t happen timely. Nan Marks said if the concern is that organizations engaging in this activity don’t disclose donors, then the system doesn’t work. Henry Kerner said that maybe the solution is to audit so many that it is financially ruinous. Nikole noted that we have budget constraints. Elise Bean suggested using the list of organizations that made independent expenditures. Lois Lerner said that it is her job to oversee it all, not just political campaign activity.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

. I never cared for him or his politics, always figured he was a Democrat pretending to be GOP.

But this, this is flat treasonous. To weaponize the IRS is against everything this country stands for.

Fuck you McCain. I'm glad this is coming out now so you know going into the end that are being exposed for the shit head you are.

I know I've posted this several times before but those that served with and under him he uniformly treated like shit.

Calling him a POS gives turds a bad name.

Seems the more we find out about McCain, the more dishonorable he becomes.

An elected official trying to thwart the will of the people. Looks like treason to me.

Enjoy your stay in Hell, “Maverick”.

My wife, when I told her about this, reminding her of the IRS/Teaparty/Lerner/etc. thing (mind you: She's European, so doesn't pay as close attention to US politics as you and I): "McCain's a Republican? I thought he was a Democrat." "Well, he claims to be a Republican," I replied. "He acts like a Democrat," she goes.

Interesting. And here it was just in today's op/ed section in the Wall Street Journal that some guy argued Trump should award the Medal of Freedom to McCain in order to give the award more stature by offsetting some of the more inane people who've received it recently.

John McCain is, and has always been, a steaming pile of shit.

I'm normally not one to pile on the dead or dying, but this guy needs to go, knowing full well that he has been exposed as the piece of garbage that he is.

Perhaps he can convince St. Peter that he's worthy.
But me? Not a chance.

Sounds like she is a wise woman.
