(Washington DC) Project Veritas has released the fourth story in a series of undercover reports which unmask the Deep State. This report features two Internal Revenue Service (IRS) officials who candidly discuss the IRS’s unfair treatment of conservative non-profit groups. The two officials in the report are Thomas Sheehy, an IRS tax examiner and member of the Austin Democratic Socialists of America in Texas, and Jerry Semasek, an IRS attorney in Washington, DC.
The Austin Democratic Socialists of America is a socialist group that works to advance ‘progressive issues’ in Austin, Texas. Flagrantly Targeting Conservative Groups
Sheehy boasts about and appears to justify former disgraced IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, who was mired in scandal for losing tens of thousands of emails regarding the Lois Lerner controversy. The Lois Lerner controversy occurred in 2013 and involved revelations showing that the IRS unfairly scrutinized conservative groups.
SHEEHY: “John Koskinen. He got a lot of flak for giving increased scrutiny to these Tea Party groups. Conservatives got really mad at him, he was so cool though because he deleted all the emails, so they could not hold any evidence against him.”
Sheehy continues:
SHEEHY: “Yeah, I don’t give a s**t if that is a crime for doing that because… you should give increased scrutiny to those groups because a lot of them are just f***ing fronts for the Koch brothers or whatever.”
Mistakes Were Made
In a separate meeting, attorney Semasek discloses to Project Veritas multiple times that “mistakes were made,” during the 2013 scandal when conservative non-profits were targeted when applying for tax-exempt status.
SEMASEK: “… you know what, for what it’s worth, on the record, I know people in Tax Exempt Government Entities. All that stuff we saw in the news, yeah mistakes were made”
Attorney Semasek, who worked for the IRS during the 2013 scandal, continued:
SEMASEK: “… The law requires that an organization can’t be political, it can’t be partisan to be tax exempt… Those employees in Cincinnati Ohio started to separate them and put them in a pile. And it turns out that they were like the Tea Party group of people. And I think they did, like Lois Lerner and maybe some of her employees were more liberal leaning or Democrats so I don’t know if they disallowed them, but they required them to produce more documentation to try to prove that they weren’t partisan.”
He repeated that mistakes were made:
SEMASEK: “… and that was bad. I think, from what people tell me, that really know about, there were mistakes made, but the problem with what happened… And again, there were mistakes made, and I think probably some people that were advised against conservative groups did make some mistakes.”
Socialist Abuses Work Benefits
Sheehy, like individuals featured in the previous reports in this series, is also a member of a political activist group. Sheehy implies that he abuses his work benefits, including paid time off and sick days in order to engage in socialist activism for Austin Democratic Socialists of America.
SHEEHY: “I will say, I just really like the benefits. I get a lot of paid time off and sick days. So, like, for DSA stuff, I can just honestly… I will just stay late for a period. So, I will just call in for the next day.”
SHEEHY: “I mean, as long as like the manager doesn’t find out and you don’t explicitly say “hey I’m calling in sick to do Democratic Socialist of America work” then I mean like yeah. You know, you just gotta, you just gotta like sort of manage, you know, when and where you’re like doing, like, the work you do.”
More Democratic Socialists of America at IRS
Sheehy reveals there are more socialist activists at the IRS, referring to a friend of his who works on national communications for the Democratic Socialists of America, as well as writing bylaws for the political organization.
SHEEHY: “My friend Chris, like he does a lot of like tech stuff. He even runs the f**kin’, I was looking over his shoulder once at the electoral forum and I noticed that he actually is on the national social media working group. So, he helps run the national twitter account. He also runs our local twitter account. He also is one that does all the bylaws and stuff…. he also works for the IRS.”
Sheehy remarks about his disdain for the Constitution of the United States.
SHEEHY: “Unfortunately, I am not allowed by the bylaws of my union to go against the constitution.”
JOURNALIST: “Would you?”
SHEEHY: “Yeah.”
Deep State Unmasked
This is the fourth release in a series Project Veritas began publishing in September 2018 unmasking corrupt actors in the federal government. Project Veritas will publish more undercover video of federal employees shedding light on the Deep State resistance.
Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe added:
“As our deep state investigation continues to unfold, four government agencies have responded resulting in the removal of two federal employees from their job duties. Stay tuned to see which Government Agency we unmask next.“

O’Keefe does it again...if this was fat michael moore-on they would give him an academy award...
This is probably the guy from Austin IRS who targeted me after giving a small donations to Ted Cruz.
Someone in the Austin office went into my tax return and changed it.
I got the letter 4 weeks after I wrote the check.
Oh and I was living in Colorado at the time.
Not that I give a fig about the IRS........but this animus towards conservatives is a legacy of the Halfrican.
He started the half-***ed thinking that conservatives are the enemy.
Does anyone have a you tube link yet?
“He started the half-***ed thinking that conservatives are the enemy.”
I disagree, the Fraud never did anything original (or legal) by himself, in his lifetime.
His whole life is a lie.
His bastard “children” will never know their family or who they truly are, all so we could elect a god to “fundamentally transform” America.
His handlers did all that kind of thinking for him.
The dumbed-down generation is now working in the government offices, folks!! Their public schools forgot educate them in civics, the Constitution, patriotism, etc. All they know is SJW snowflake, punk justice.
We’re in trouble!!
These “deep state” internal traitors who use the bureaucracy of the government of “We the People”, against “We the People” should be HUNG IN THE PUBLIC SQUARE ON NATIONAL TV!!
Apparently you never saw the list of about 50 groups he put out as president-——naming every conservative group out there as the enemy.

“Apparently you never saw the list of about 50 groups he put out as president-——naming every conservative group out there as the enemy.”
No, but my point was, HE didn’t do it. The Fraud’s handlers did anything “creative” FOR him.
Raised on hatred for everything American, the Fraud needs to only smile and read poorly, and people seem to think he is either diabolical or incompetent. I believe he is neither, just a willing “Anything for a Buck” participant in anything against America.
Thanks, but this was a hit list provided TO the Fraud to READ (poorly).
Apples and oranges......no matter who compiled it......it’s his idea.
Only he could have ordered govt agencies like the IRS to use it against Americans.
Fer later...scoundrels.
To be fair, the Clintons started it, the bamster finished it.
They didn't 'forget'.......It was completely intentional.........................
Now if he could burrow into the FBI or DOJ...
He did....................
The Clintons did start the process and the Kenyan kicked it into high gear. Hillary would have finished it. and us.
