Catherine Engelbrecht’s tale has all the markings of a classic conspiracy theory: She says she thinks that because of her peaceful political activity, she and her family was targeted for scrutiny by hostile federal agencies.

Yet as news emerges that the Internal Revenue Service wielded its power to obstruct conservative groups, Catherine’s story becomes credible — and chilling. It also raises questions about whether other federal agencies have used their executive powers to target those deemed political enemies.

Before the Engelbrecht family’s three-year ordeal began, Catherine says, “I had no real expectation or preparation for the blood sport that American politics is.” Sounding weary on the phone, she continues: “It’s all been a through-the-looking-glass experience.”

Congress needs to investigate this too. Who sicked OSHA, ATF and the FBI on them? This isn’t just IRS, this is coordinated abuse among 4 agencies.

That story reads like something Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote.

Truly chilling.

My dream is to see the day when every single person left in the Feral Govt knows multiple former co-workers doing prison time for felonies.

It is past time for these people to be held, personally, civilly and criminally liable for what they have done.

They and their entire family should lose every single possession that they have. The remainder of their days should be spent in a nasty homeless shelter.

All it will take is one very good computer hacker to get into a few computers and Wala we’ll have our proof. These people are way too arrogant NOT to mess up.

Nixon and Clinton both pissed people in there own party off. People will talk...there will be another “Deepthroat” mock my words.
