So there it is -- a hitherto-missing link in the chain of information that every Obamaphile was dreading.
Senior Obama administration officials knew that the Inspector General was auditing the IRS for political targeting of conservatives in June of 2012. The Treasury's general counsel -- that's right, William J. Wilkins -- was told on June 4, 2012 by the IG; Deputy Treasury Secretary Neal Wolin was informed shortly thereafter.
Neal Wolin was Tim Geithner's Deputy. That's the second-in-command at the Department of the Treasury. And Wolin had been around the block; he had held high government posts in the Clinton administration before the Obama one.
It is inconceivable that someone like Wolin would have learned of such politically explosive information during an election year and failed to inform anyone at The White House or on the President's campaign. The Obama administration kept this information hidden from the American people until it had to be revealed because of the pending IG report.
Would it have changed any minds had it been reported before the election? We'll never know, but it doesn't do anything to enhance the credibility of the President's reelection victory.
Surely, surely no one in the MSM had wind of this and sat on the story lest it hurt the Obama campaign.
They were directing it.
This is what all that tap dancing by the kenyan and Jack Lew was about on Friday. It’s implausible that nobody in the WH knew about this. There is proof somewhere I am sure. Meeting notes, emails, whatever.
So Team Obama made some general acknowledgements about this on Friday so later they can claim they already admitted it. This is EXACTLY what the kenyan did when he mentioned terrorism in vague terms in the Rose Garden after Benghazi.
Ms. Platt-Liebau surely would have put a "sarcasm tag" on this, if she was a FReeper.
Isn’t this a ‘smoking gun’?
I bet they were the ones directing it all along. Obama was keeping his distance—but using every power he had to Win—at any price. He will never leave the White House of his own free will. If he could he would change the name of Washington to Obama City.
It sure looks like one
He is going to leave..no matter what he wants.
If Fast and Furious is any indication then the spineless Repubs will let this drift into the ether and be gone before 2014.
Tie this into the enemy list requested by the WH web site , the senators request and their thug and it certainly looks like his gums are smoking. Lying will do that!
I heard today that Lanny Davis is claiming that the White House Counsel knew of it a couple of weeks before telling the President. If true, it’s a bomb shell. Does ANYONE who knows more than 10 cents worth about politics believe for even a second that the White House Counsel wouldn’t tell Zero as soon as he heard about such a thing? Impeachment is definitely called for.
Picture it:
You tell him!
No! You tell him!
I told him last time ! It’s your turn!
No! It’s your turn!
Oh ok ..... Where is he?
On the golf course. Then he speaks at two fund raisers and then leaves on vacation
I’ll tell him at the next cabinet meeting!
When will that be?
He... If I know! Next month? Next year?
Is Obama bent on destroying America? Is he incompetent? I can't decide between these two, but one thing is sure......he one very weird dude.
Don’t think for one second that he is incompetent. He knows exactly what he’s doing, or trying to do. He doesn’t wonder if he’s doing the right thing, or if he’s doing it the way it should be done. His downfall will be that he thinks he can get away with anything.
I think somebody made a mistake. Lew and the kenyan were up to no good on Friday. There is a hole someplace in the stonewall and they know it. Their arrogance may have caused them to get sloppy.
The question is if anybody will drop a dime on them.
Treasury Dept. told the WH counsel on April 22. It is a total fairy tale that the kenyan did not know what was going on at that point.
Wolin with Gibbs. 2010
Hope and pray.
We need to start getting traction on this soon....before the Ohaha mob uses their criminal Chicago political skills to skate on this.
They are the kingpins of political crime----they know every trick in the book.
Btw, tell me, again. What exactly does Valerie Jarrett do in the WH?
