ABC News’ Trey Hardin: West Wing Of White House Authorized IRS-Gate Targeting

Gee, it wasn’t a local IRS office scandal after all. ABC’s Trey Hardin suggested “with a very strong sense of certainty” that the West Wing of the White House authorized the IRS targeting of conservative groups.
Via ORYR:

[Video]

From the video:

Trey Hardin: “I will tell you this on the IRS front. I’ve worked in this town for over 20 years in the White House and on Capitol Hill and I can say with a very strong sense of certainty that there are people very close to this president that not only knew what the IRS were doing but authorized it. It simply just does not happen at an agency level like that without political advisers likely in the West Wing certainly connected to the president’s ongoing campaign organization.”

Trey Hardin was on with Doug McIntyre on 790 KABC this morning.

“National Journal’s Ron Fournier, who covered the Clinton and Bush scandals and was once the AP Washington bureau chief, said on the show. “...is we’re being misled every day. We were lied to on Benghazi, ... We were lied to by the IRS for months and now they’re sending a clear message to our sources...”

And somehow, it appears that he is surprised by this turn of events. A lot of us saw this type of shenanigans coming a long time ago.

Welcome to 2007, Ron.

I wonder what they used against Sarah Palin to stop her dead in her tracks. It had to be horrific...with collusion from the gope. Was Sarah the reason they went after all the Conservative 501s? Were they making sure she couldn’t possibly fund a campaign? Or run as a third party?

I finally get the picture. Duh. I’ve seen it a few times and thought, “What the hell is that suppose to be.”

Obama on toast in front of teleprompters. I get it. Wow. :o(

It’s out of control for Obama. Hillary is the next liberal messiah. A total media driven fraud.

I have the same feeling. I think his response will be either to fold completely and simply disappear (literally - I wouldn’t be surprised if he just left the country) or it will be to really crack down hard while he still has the power. If he does anything, he’s going to do it soon, because I think that things are going to start unraveling rather quickly for him now and he simply will be a laughing stock before too long and won’t even be able to get his flunkies to do anything because they’ll realize he can’t protect him.

I have faith he is a sociopath. I also have faith that he is surrounded by a shield of underlings that constantly praise and worship him. I don't think he has a grasp on what is actually going on. Until Valerie explains that he is in trouble, he won't lose a minute of sleep about any of this stuff. He's been on vacation since he started. Every day is a bonus to him. The guy has never had a real job in his life. He doesn't even appreciate the gravity of his job outside of securing his name in history books and retiring as an admired liberal/social justice hero.

He'll never step down.

The one who benefits from the IRS scandal breaking is Hillary—she has no connection to that story, whereas Benghazi was starting to become a threat to her coronation on Jan. 20, 2017.

I have a feeling they said something about her family and especially her kids.

Lie. Lie about lying. Send Carney out to lie some more. Golf. Fundraise. Blame Bush. Lie about something else. Repeat.

Mark Levin was on to something when he gave Obama Nixon’s middle name, Millhouse.

If the IRS did this on its own (no orders from White House), then that is arguably an even *worse* scandal. It would demonstrate that the agency is populated thoroughly with political partisans from top to bottom. No chance ever it could regain public credibility without an en masse firing or (preferably) a rewrite of the tax law eliminating the agency entirely.

And forget about the IRS ever being the enforcement agency for ObamaCare. The public mistrust of government has finally reached the boiling point, IMO.

-— Is it a sense of punishment ——

Yes. People like us, who cling to our guns and Bibles, cannot be reasoned with. So we must be treated like animals. We are sub-human.

I don't get it. What could they possibly hope to gain from it?

On an earlier talk show today....it was said that all the confidential info...like donor names and amounts was given to a rival dim based group....run by a couple that made big bucks during the mortgage melt down.

This has the makings of a scandal that could make Watergate look like a minor event.

Here's the gist: the Obama Administration may have used the frightening enforcement power of the IRS for political gain. With the President's acquiescence, the IRS harassed any political enemies of Obama, and may have passed confidential tax filing information from Conservative political action committees (PAC's) to Liberal PAC's--a gigantic violation of multiple Federal laws in regards to tax information privacy and disclosure.

One angle we have yet to hear about is whether the IRS was ordered to harass conservative talk show hosts besides Mark Levin (whose case is well-documented). If we find out the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity were also targets of IRS harassment, this scandal with the IRS will become "top of fold front page" news, and that could be the end of President Obama.

“If this is proven to be true, do you think there’s any chance enough Americans will wake up from their slumber to demand accountability?”
Answer that question by asking yourself; if this is true will the food stamps go away, if this is true will the disability checks stop coming, if this true will the obamaphones be shut off? America has passed the tipping point. 52 % of people don’t care if Obama eats babys for breakfast, beats his wife and steals from the collection plate. Conservatives keep operating under this false assumption that there is “something” that we can catch this guy at that will disgrace him and remove him from power or that there is something about the lefts plans or methods that when exposed will shock the American people into running them out on a rail. BZZZZZ SORRY WRONG ANSWER. Most Americans already know the rat party is massively corrupt. Most already know that the left wants to take over the economy, brainwash your kids, and capitulate to the terrorists, but 52% just don’t give a damn about anything but THEIR FREE STUFF.

Here is my text to accompany your Blazing Saddles picture:

Obama always exposes his fear by accusing others of what he is doing to them.

Obama knows that that which will undo him is what he should fear the most.

As a smokescreen defense he accuses others of what he is doing, and hopes to put them on defense so that he can continue doing to them what he fears that they will do to him.

For example, we should politicize, demonstrate strong political motivation, speak and behave in the most un-PC manner, bicker, argue, unseal his flunking University grades, place all his staff under oath, place Obama under oath and IMEACH and REMOVE Obama and his Commie pals.

The responsibility of an opposition party is to provide a check and a balance on the other political party.

Hence, it is time for Republicans to shed their sorry RINO skins and have a good old-fashioned, rip-roaring, verbal thrashing of the tyrannical Obamanation.

Don't put the hopeful thoughts into storage just yet .. it took quite a while for the Watergate pot to boil over and scald Mr.Nixon out of office.

The shiny brass rings of 'lifetime reputation' and 'Puliter prize' are dangling out there in this frenzy as well.

There will surely be those unable to resist the urge to grab for them regardless their previous reticence and/or collaboration re the Usurper.
