Wall Street Journal: GAB Sought Assistance From IRS on John Doe Probe
Right Wisconsin ^ | July 10, 2015 | not attributed

Posted on 07/10/2015 6:34:03 AM PDT by sgtyork

According to an explosive new Wall Street Journal editorial, Government Accountability Board (GAB) Executive Director Kevin Kennedy is a professional friend of Lois Lerner, the IRS official at the center of the plot to target conservative and tea party groups, and sought IRS assistance on the John Doe investigation.

Communications revealed to the Wall Street Journal detail this working relationship and Kennedy confirmed as much to the newspaper.

Emails we’ve seen show that between 2011 and 2013 the two were in contact on multiple occasions, sharing articles on topics including greater donor disclosure and Wisconsin’s recall elections. The emails indicate the two were also personal friends who met for dinner and kept in professional touch. “Are you available for the 25th?” Ms. Lerner wrote in January 2012. “If so, perhaps we could work two nights in a row.”

Wow! This explains why there were FBI agents when John Chisholm had the stormtroopers swat conservatives. Lois Lerner should not be walking free.

How do Free Americans fight this type of conspiratorial government oppression?

First to stop it.

Next to prosecute.

I say we stop it now and prosecute after Obama can no longer pardon them.

This assumes we’re able to put Cruz in the White House.

“Explosive”?

Does that mean it will make conservatives heads explode when the information is ignored?

The WSJ jumped the shark years ago with its diehard support of immigration, amnesty, and the GOPe.

I would not trust one word printed in that newspaper.

Perhaps Trump or one of the other candidates should say something like:

Lois Lerner has used the power of government to intimidate, threat, and sandbag political expression. If she and others who were abusing power do not go to jail, we must assume the American people are ok with it. Therefore, when I become president, I will do the same. I say this directly to the American people to SHAME them into action. Do You really want the IRS to do the president’s dirty work? An American style political police?

A President Walker might also have some motivation to address this.

That’s about as stupid as saying all Whites are racists

It would be easy for a President Walker to retaliate. But I don’t think he will sink to that level.

americanthinker.com reported the IRS jihad against Conservatives included:

•At least 5 pro-Israel groups
•Constitutional-centered groups
•Groups that dared criticize the Obama admin
•At least two pro-life groups
•An 83 year-old Nazi concentration camp survivor's group
•A 180 year-old Baptist paper
•A Texas voting-rights group
•A Hollywood conservative group targeted (and harassed)
•Conservative activists and businesses
•Hundreds more conservative groups targeted

==========================================================

<><> BOMBSHELL--- The House Oversight Committee recently released more emails that prove the IRS was feeding Dem Rep. Cummings with confidential tax information on the conservative voter-fraud prevention group "True the Vote."

========================================================

POINTS TO PONDER

<><> So where did Lerner got $$hundreds of thousands to pay high-price lawyers to protect her sorry behind?

<><> Mishandling of public funds maybe?....maybe bribes?...maybe paybacks?

<><><> Lois has lots of info Dems could use---maybe she sold info to the highest bidder?

<><><> Lerner once saved the *** of Cong Dickie Durbin (Dem-Ill)---maybe ol' Dick put in a line item in a budget bill that regularly spits out tax dollars to a secret numbered account offshore?

<><><> BOMBSHELL-- Lerner was angling for a job w/ Obamba's fund-raising giant---OFA-----did they kick in a few bucks? OFA needs intense scrutiny.....N-O-W.

<><><> Maybe the buck-raking Clintons' tax-exempt foundation was tapped for a (cough) grant?

It wouldn’t be retaliation, any more than Governor Palin’s dismissal of that bad cop was retaliation. I do admit that it would be spun as such.

It would. They deserve the exact same thing done to them. But we’ll settle for justice being done to these fascists.

Lois Lerner’s advice sought on John Chisholm’s John Doe probe targeting conservatives in general and Scott Walker in particular.

Lois Lerner is a subject matter expert on harassing conservatives.

As one who has lived through this nightmare (and it goes back further than Gov. Walker's terms...the GAB has interfered in state and local elections to benefit Dems for as long as it's been in existence), I would expect a President Walker not to "retaliate", but to definitely remedy the situation within the law in a similar way to his having neutered the unions' influence with Act 10 and such.
