“For me, it’s about collaboration.” — National Treasury Employees Union President Colleen Kelley on the relationship between the anti-Tea Party IRS union and the Obama White House

Is President Obama directly implicated in the IRS scandal?

Is the White House Visitors Log the trail to the smoking gun?

The stunning questions are raised by the following set of new facts.

March 31, 2010.

According to the White House Visitors Log, provided here in searchable form by U.S. News and World Report, the president of the anti-Tea Party National Treasury Employees Union, Colleen Kelley, visited the White House at 12:30pm that Wednesday noon time of March 31st.

The White House lists the IRS union leader’s visit this way:

Kelley, Colleen Potus 03/31/2010 12:30

In White House language, “POTUS” stands for “President of the United States.”

The very next day after her White House meeting with the President, according to the Treasury Department’s Inspector General’s Report, IRS employees — the same employees who belong to the NTEU — set to work in earnest targeting the Tea Party and conservative groups around America. The IG report wrote it up this way:

April 1-2, 2010: The new Acting Manager, Technical Unit, suggested the need for a Sensitive Case Report on the Tea Party cases. The Determinations Unit Program Manager Agreed.

In short: the very day after the president of the quite publicly anti-Tea Party labor union — the union for IRS employees — met with President Obama, the manager of the IRS “Determinations Unit Program agreed” to open a “Sensitive Case report on the Tea party cases.” As stated by the IG report.

Interesting find. The amazing coincidence of Bambi meeting with the union head that represents the IRS, then the next day the IRS begins a coordinated attack on the TEA party.

Just happenstance I'm sure......paranoia on the part of the tinfoil hat right......./s

I don't think we can hate what these people have done enough.

How many smoking guns do we need?
It boggles the mind how much is going on that 0bama was not involved with and knew nothing about. Not buying it.

[SC_Pete]

We need a special prosecutor.

I think we’re going to need more popcorn for this one.

This is extremely significant information. Remember, an attempt has been made to blame this on low-level employees (that would be the union members, who are presumably the agents, etc. directly involved in the IRS attacks).

The overall strategy involving multiple agencies was clearly coordinated at levels above this (their high-level superiors) but somebody gave the go-signal to this particular set of Obama shock-troops on the ground. It would not be surprising in the least if were found to be Obama himself, a community organizer who found out in his Alinsky youth what the real purpose of a union was: political pressure and physical threats.

“Hey, President Obama said he heard about the IRS stuff on the news last week, just like everyone else. That’s good enough for me.”

This _should_ end with the dissolution of the IRS, the end of the income tax, and the abolishment of government employee unions.

It will not, however.

[PghBaldy]

It is circumstantial, but the timing of the events is so damning to Obama. I am stunned that something like this was found so quickly. Thank you, Lakeshark for posting this.

We need a special prosecutor.

Yep. What's the hold up on this?

[Sooth2222]

"We need a special prosecutor."

We need a flat tax.

(And fire 97.9% of the IRS.)

[Lakeshark]

Yep, circumstantial, yet very damning.

Sort of like a person who was murdered being seen getting into a car with a group of thugs the night before they are found dead.

It just doesn't look right.

I'm sure this will lead the news reports tonight......./s

This is huge and serious OR at the very least, in traditional Freeper speak: "Hugh and Series".

Historically, it is the fascist/trade union interface that was used in Europe to undermine and destroy civil society. In this IRS case there is the destruction of civil society and trampling the Constitution.Serious Crimes.

The FBI should be directing their flat feets right to Colleen Kelley's door, AND Issa's Congressional Oversight Committee should depose her immediately.

Somehow, given the historical parallels to fascism in Europe, one may not believe that Colleen's life can be overly long. One might half expect Colleen Kelley to be found floating in the Potomac.

We need LIBs to leave the country.

[Lakeshark]

I think the administration has to agree to the idea of a special prosecutor.

I may be wrong, anbody know?

[Lakeshark]

(And fire 97.9% of the IRS.)

Shooting too low in the percentages here.....

:-)

[Stentor]

I’m shocked that I can’t get to the link. /s Is the entire IRS trying to read it or just a bog standard DDOS.

[Jane Long]

It would seem that in in a situation like this, where the admin looks like won't agree to a SP, that another branch could recommend one. That may take, uh, guts on the part of the other branch, though.

Please ping me if you get the answer to this one. Thanks.

All the headlines today are shouting gleefully that “Obama’s Approval Rating Remains Unchanged”.

Meaning that he could literally start rounding-up his opponents and sending them to concentration camps, and roughly half the population would shrug, so long as their SNAP cards kept working.
