Well then he should have said so instead of sitting there fumbling around until “Easter Egg Hunt” came to mind.

suuuure—and every time I say I’m going to Kohl’s to look for a new blouse, I NEVER look at handbags, jewelry etc...I know it isn’t much of an analogy, but it really is this simple to me :)
Puh-leez!

This article does NOT do what the headline says it does: show that the claims that Shulman visited the White House 157 times are “fake”! The article does indicate that most of the visits were noted as for Obamacare-related meetings. And the article makes a big deal of the Eisenhower Building next to the White House and included in the White House’s security perimeter as not being what most people think of as the White House, and implies that most of the visits were to this building, rather than the White House proper.
Big deal! The fact remains that Shulman visited the White House complex an extraordinary number of times for the leader of a non-political / independent agency, especially in comparison to visits by his predecessors.
To: homegroan
Exactly. You can attend healthcare meetings and still discuss IRS strategy on how to deal with conservative groups before or after the meetings. And how much detail does the head of agency have to deal with to implement Obamacare? Doesn't Shulman have deputies?
The Obamacare meetings are great cover to hide other more nefarious activities.

Besides, aren’t there tunnels linking the buildings?

Subpoena Schulman’s work diary at the IRS to see how many
times he had meetings at the WHm and with whom.
All executives keep this type of documentation.

Obama hated the Citizens United decision, feared Tea Party/conservative money would hamper his agenda and gov agencies threw sand in the gears of the 501C3 approval process.....but NOTHING was ever coordinated with the head of the IRS during numerous WH visits?
Riiiiight.

For a second, I thought the fake-story story was a fake fake-story story.

"The alibi the White House has wedded itself to is that it had to work closely with the IRS to implement ObamaCare," But...the decision that Obamacare was going to become a tax wasn't decided until 3 years later from the supreme court.
So...explain to me again why there were 157 visits!

I did not hear Schulman DENY the accusation.
Since he is a ‘government employee/appointee’, then it should be no problem for his office to provide an UNEDITED/UNREDACTED list of all his ‘appointments’.

Then why did he say 118 times? Because he is just a confused government worker. Only the reporter at the Atlantic has enough intelligence to know the 'truth'. (/sarcasm)
