This week, a judge in True the Vote (TTV) v. IRS granted a victory to the IRS when it rejected an attempt by the conservative Tea Party group to have the court appoint a forensics expert to find Lois Lerners missing emails and documents. The ruling demonstrates what kind of an uphill climb groups like TTV can expect to face as federal judges have become increasingly beholden to the federal government. The irony is there is a one-page document already in the public arena that would win TTVs case but attorney Cleta Mitchell refuses to point to it.
That document is the 501(c)(3) approval letter for the Barack H. Obama Foundation (BHOF), headed by Malik Obama, the Pro-Hamas brother of President Barack Obama who is connected to terrorists, terrorist organizations and the government of Sudan, a State Sponsor of Terrorism. ...
Doesn't seem like anyone wants to touch the terrorist funding by Obama's brother through an IRS granted tax-exempt charity.
Not a trump card. The Court would dismiss it.
As a Judge once told me in a trial ... “Mr. Prosecutor ... I don’t care what the law says ...”
And some wondered why I quit after 25 years.
Not caring what the law says, has led to a LOT of mischief, misfeasance and outright malfeasance in recent years, and the resulting erosion of legal precedent and the plain language of the statutes affected. This phenomenon is almost coincidental with the rise of the new face of “liberalism” that came from the integration of the counter-culture into mainstream politics, and in some instances, BECOMING the mainstream politics.
Counter-culture is the new “Know-nothing” attitude that was so prevalent just prior to the time of the Civil War. Of course, their emphasis was a little different then, as the main thrust of their agenda was PREVENTION of all immigration into what was still the young United States of America.
Is this the case where the judge said that Lerners missing emails were unlikely to help TTV and that therefore the motion for expedited discovery was denied?
“Judge Reggie Walton of the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia said True the Votes lawsuit against the IRS failed to show ‘irreparable harm’ in its injunction relief request and that ‘the public interest weighs strongly against the type of injunctive relief the plaintiff seeks.’”
cLETA is an Inside the Beltway lawyer....she;s good but I;m sure she wants to go to cocktail parties still.
Thought so. I recalled reading a n article where the judge was dismissive of the value of Lerner’s missing email (how could that be known?), but couldn’t recall which case.
Thanks.
The Malik issue should be pursued anyway. If it helps here, go for it! A two-fer.
“... show irreparable harm...”
TTV should have stated that the irreparable harm will be the “unexpected deletion or loss of all relevant emails” which will make him look like a fool.
I’ve been told more than once. The law is whatever a judge says it is.
Unfortunately.
This is why I’m against lifetime appointments. Brings out the dictator in even the most humble soul after a while.
Wow, seems like that would be grounds for a mistrial?
I don’t think she’ll have trouble proving her case, but the coverup is a much bigger crime which will go unproven.
