John McCain Lashes Out at Judicial Watch over Damning IRS Doc Release
PJMedia ^ | April 27, 2015 - 2:19 pm | Debra Heine

Posted on 04/28/2015 12:13:33 PM PDT by Zhang Fei

The IRS documents released by the government watchdog group on April 9 revealed that the senator, along with Senator Carl Levin, pressured the agency to go after political nonprofits – which turned out to be overwhelmingly conservative non-profits..

A May 1, 2013, email exchange between Lois Lerner and other top IRS staffers revealed that 11 days prior to Lerner’s admission in a ABA meeting that the IRS had “inappropriately” targeted conservative groups, she met with select top staffers from the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee in a “marathon” meeting to discuss concerns raised by both Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) that the IRS was not reining in political advocacy groups in response to the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision. Senator McCain had been the chief sponsor of the McCain-Feingold Act and called the Citizens United decision, which overturned portions of the Act, one of the “worst decisions I have ever seen.” Among those attending the meeting were key aides to the committee minority ranking member, John McCain.

McCaniac—like VD, the gift that keeps on giving.

The question that comes to mind is: will he be reelected in 2016?

We can damn well be assured that McConnell is involved.
There is just no way he's not. Impossible not to be.

"So if I have this straight-McCain is shocked and appalled because his well documented efforts to pressure the IRS into reigning in poliical advocacy groups led to the IRS reining in political advocacy groups."

McCain is "shocked and appalled".

” What the heck is wrong with AZ that they would reelect McCain “

McCain spent $21,600,000

His opponent Hayworth only had $1.8 million

Money isn’t everything. Dave Brat was outspent 20-1 and still ousted the weasel Eric Cantor.
Smaller electorate and probably smarter.

I’ve said for decades that McPain is living proof that the commies know how to wash brains. And they did a fine job on him.

EXACTLY!

This dirty little secret needs to be spread all over Arizona so that the sheeple who keep electing him start wising up to the fact that McCain is just a big of a crook as the Dems on the other side of the aisle.

Brat/Cantors don’t happen but once in a blue moon. Many Republicans in AZ are old, and have been voting for the reprobate for 20+ years. McCain also bought jobs for unemployed, and bought off some Tea Party groups too.

The Chamber of Commerce and their affiliate members have tons of money. To me they are nothing but traitors to the USA. I would jail the SOB’s.

Once in a blue moon won’t cut it, we need to dump half or more of the elected GOP or bolt the party. I’m not holding my nose anymore.
I am very relieved to be rid of the weasel Eric Cantor.

At least half. Will Republicans finally say enough is enough?

Did someone hold a gun to your head and force you to vote for a liberal?

I didn't vote for a liberal.

Won't do it.

You not only voted for a liberal (R), a liberal won the race anyway.
