The explosive discovery by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that its ranking Democratic member coordinated with the IRS to target True the Vote came as no surprise to its founder and president. She called it “the tip of a very ugly iceberg.”
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., the committee’s chairman, released emails earlier this week strongly suggesting that Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., was in direct communication with disgraced IRS supervisor Lois Lerner in an effort to target True the Vote’s non-profit application.
In an interview with Newsmax, Catherine Engelbrecht, president of True the Vote, a Texas-based conservative organization founded to combat election fraud, said this week’s disclosure gives proof to her earlier claims.
“I’m thrilled to see that these documents are seeing the light of day and my current hope is that we continue on in this discovery process because we’re only beginning to see what I believe is the tip of a very ugly iceberg,” she said.
Through her attorney, Cleta Mitchell, Engelbrecht filed a complaint in February alleging that Cummings was pushing an investigation against True the Vote. He called those charges “absolutely incorrect and untrue” at the time. The emails Issa released this week directly contradict that claim.
“Now we find out from these emails released that in fact our request for an investigation really is well placed because [Cummings] was, and his staff, they were having communications with the IRS about True the Vote,” Mitchell said in the joint Newsmax interview with her client.
Newsmax reported:
Mitchell said the similarities between questions asked of True the Vote by Cummings staffers and IRS officials at separate junctures strongly suggested inappropriate coordination between Cummings and the IRS. Engelbrecht said holding Cummings accountable is important, but the issue goes far beyond him.
“To whatever extent there can be disciplinary action taken, we need to be very serious about taking them, but make no mistake, Elijah Cummings, though very important at this juncture of this discovery in this investigation, is just one of what I believe will be quite an extensive cast of characters that will point to a much vigor, much more orchestrated effort to target and silence private citizens,” Engelbrecht said. “He’s just one of many.”
“And it’s quite likely to start on the Bundy Ranch in Nevada”
Wasn’t it Nathan Hale who said “If not now when?”
Bump.
The True the Vote case is the most important of the whole raft of Tea Party/IRS cases because there was a massive, coordinated multi-agency on Ms. Englebrecht and True the Vote. Although Lois Lerner was only a fanatical mid-level bureaucrat, she played he same role at the IRS and Adolph Eichmann played at the SS in enthusiastically executing the policy determined by other, higher people. However, if only the IRS was involved, it might be hard to get above the IRS in placing responsibility. The agencies that attacked True the Vote were independent of each other and c connected at the WH level. Thus, the orders to attack had to com from and be coordinated by one or more persons in the WH on the Mahdi’s direct orders, just as the orders for the Holocaust came from Hitler.
You missed the point. What really matters is that most Americans do not realize they have lost their Country to communists Democrats that have been destroying our Constitution and our Country for many years. We have passed the point of no return now. How can we get Government out of our lives now? Beyond any logical reason. It cannot even in the smallest degree return because it has progressed so far into communism that without a civil war no chance. And then after a civil war, what then? Who and what will take power. Unless we see more treasonous asses in jail now, what hope?
Are we the first nation to crumble? It is happening right before our eyes. I'm a very very old man and have see what happened in my lifetime to Germany and the brown shirts. Are we there. Watch Nevada and the farmers and Harry Reid corruption.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
> Ms. Engelbrecht is the most courageous and brave woman in America today. Thank God for her efforts.
And much prettier and more intelligent that the liberal LGBT feminazis you see online...: )
I got news you ugly bitch Jarrett, you ain't seen what pissed off backlash is!
“It really does matter. It all matters. Who knows what will be “the straw” that breaks the back….but it all matters and it all adds up.”
Bingo! You get it.
Just like the idea that articles of impeachment need to be filed against Holder, Obambi, and others. It doesn’t matter if it leads to an actual conviction or not: just the act itself recognizes and shows resolve against these unconstitutional acts; it underscores and brings light onto the treasonous acts themselves; and will fuel other actions that will have unforeseen and long-reaching consequences.
When I see that pic of Jarrett, I think about those old Planet of the Apes movies....
I don’t miss anything……what you miss is that every event in education or the media or in politics is PART OF THAT LOSS OF THE COUNTRY…..WTF is soooooooooooooo hard for you, Illogical You, to figure out about that????
It’s not aliens.
It’s KORANIMALS!
Time to open the long awaited game of Cowboys & Muslims by convicting Muslim Elijah Cummings.
Cummings is black and Muslim, too. Any attack on his “Protected Class A$$” will likely cause some Libtards to stroke out or suffer MIs.
What’s not to like with the above scenario?
That is raciss!!
"Criminals' appears right...
Muslim? Where are you getting that from, what's your source?
She sure is.
Conversely, if Republicans continue to pretend nothing is wrong, Obama, Holder, et al are further emboldened to implement tyranny. The lack of any effective opposition has been killing the country. If we don’t care enough to repair the broken windows, is it any surprise they keep breaking more of them?
Exactly. Well stated.
“To whatever extent there can be disciplinary action taken, we need to be very serious about taking them, but make no mistake, Elijah Cummings, though very important at this juncture of this discovery in this investigation, is just one of what I believe will be quite an extensive cast of characters that will point to a much vigor, much more orchestrated effort to target and silence private citizens,” Engelbrecht said.
How could a member of the House GOP actually vote for that guy? Why?
