Former IRS Commissioner Visited White House 118 Times During Tea Party Targeting
town Hall ^ | May 22, 2013 | Katie Pavlich

According to Republican Rep. Jim Jordan and White House visitor logs, former IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman visited the White House 118 times in 2010 and 2011. This is the same time period when Tea Party groups were inappropriately targeted and intimidated by the IRS.

Testifying in front of lawmakers on Capitol Hill Wednesday, Shulman admitted that many of the meetings with the White House were to discuss how to implement ObamaCare.

"The IRS has a major roll in the money flow," Shulman said.

Shulman denied ever discussing 501c(4) groups with White House officials and failed to name who he met with during his visits. At the time Shulman met with the White House throughout 2010 and 2011, Tea Party and Patriot groups were expressing opposition to ObamaCare.

Inspector General Russell George said during testimony that he did not speak with anybody in the White House about targeting of Tea Party groups during his audit and did not ask IRS officials if they communicated with the White House about the targeting.

"We did not question anybody about whether they talked to the White House," George said.

With computers and the Internet connected to every county, city, state and federal government agency, records of taxes and voter registrations are available at the stroke of a touchscreen.

When you go to the ER, all any scumdrel would have to do at check-in is to look up your SSN and attendant records and place you at the back of the line until he or she could process their preferred party members ahead of you.

Just wait. It’s coming. I guarantee it............

118 times is at least once a week.

It sounds like co-ordination, doesn’t it?

Schulman and Miller are both inveterate liars. IG George is a “house Negro” who is affraid of his own shadow. He almost says “yes massa” when answering questions from the Congressional Committee. Glad Issa took him to task. It was about time.

“The IRS has a major roll in the money flow,” Shulman said. “

And that’s all it’s EVER been about.
