"...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.”....
...Mr. Kennedy’s GAB work also became ammunition for other investigators pursuing high-profile conservative nonprofits, including Texas-based True the Vote. In an October 2012 letter to True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht, Maryland Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings cited the Wisconsin GAB’s criticism of True the Vote’s methods reviewing petitions to recall Mr. Walker and said the results “would not have survived legal challenges.”
In a memo to “Interested Parties” in 2012, Obama for America General Counsel Bob Bauer praised Mr. Kennedy’s GAB for having taken “swift action in the aftermath of [True the Vote’s] involvement in the June recall elections.” Mr. Bauer described the GAB’s response as evidence that “Elected officials in many swing states are not waiting and taking their chances that True the Vote acts to disrupt the electoral process on November 6th or during the early voting period.”
After filing for tax-exempt status for True the Vote, Ms. Englebrecht says she was subjected to two IRS business audits, two personal audits, and was contacted several times by the FBI and inspected by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and Occupational Safety and Health Administration......
All the signs are there. An illicit shadow government run by the highest levels of this administration. Fake email accounts, personal accounts and conversations that collude to oppress opposition, and who know what else?
They only thing they don’t show now are the black uniforms, jack boots and their Obama Swastika.
None of this is a surprise to me. During the first 2 years of Scott Walker’s 1st term, the news media was full of the antics and bulling of the leftists and their sympathizers.
Scott Walker stood firm even when the stupid Democrats fled to Illinois to avoid a vote for confirmation of Walker’s proposed new laws on government employee unions.
The lefties occupied the beautiful Wisconsin capitol building and did a lot of damage.
Additionally they are constantly ridiculing the conservatives who live in the Green Bay region. ‘Such idiots, such troglodytes, etc. - doncha know, those backward Catholic pro-lifers in Green Bay’????
I do wish some of our Freepers would keep an open mind about Scott Walker. He has been through hell and back. I can only wonder why he is willing to put himself out there only to be slandered by the media, and now by some so-called Conservatives. If you have a beef with him, let it be about specific issues, not call him a RINO. If Scott Walker is a RINO, than I am too. But, then the tern “RINO” no longer has any meaning at all. I hate to see folks here behave like those idiots in Madison, Wisconsin did against Scott Walker.
