Donald Trump said Monday that if the details surrounding the IRS targeting tea party groups and last week’s Benghazi hearing had come out last fall, President Barack Obama might not have won reelection.
“This is a big, big story that is probably going to get a lot bigger,” Trump said of the IRS scandal on Fox News. “This is a terrible thing. It’s just not supposed to happen. They have laws against it. If this were somebody else, this would be the biggest story.”
Trump continued: “I’ve been watching it for the last four days getting bigger and bigger and even some of our liberal friends are sort of saying this is really bad. Between this and Benghazi, Benghazi — had this come out like this before the election, you could have had a different result.”(continued)

Can anyone tell me who actually broke this story and how they came to have the info? I don’t trust the govt anymore. I’m still thinking it’s a diversion from Benghazi/Syria cover-up.
The initial request went to the Treasury Department IG instead of the IRS IG. If you want to know the scoop, listen to Mark Levin's friday podcast.
I like what Trump’s saying — this time. But let’s remember that his track record is about as good as Dick Morris’s.
OK, but so has the entire house, on Ben Ghazi, AP, the IRS (ask Mark Levin about that).
Romney was running for president. OK we’re not happy about how it went, but, anyone bold enough to have gone after him (and Hillary, the entire establishment news media, the GOP-e, the justice department, to name a few - all at the same time, they’re a team) would have been squashed by one dirty look from Candy Crowley. Oh, that did happen.
It’s a force.
Worst one is Boehner.
Looks like all the mistakes are hitting at about the same time : )
Thanks EVO. After the $hit hit the fan, there’s so much splatter, hard to know who threw it and where it’s all landing.
This is nothing new. Mark pointed out yesterday that Landmark Legal Foundation fought the same battle in Clinton's 2nd term and that the IRS has been used to go after political opponents since its inception.
