Republican Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts said Friday that he thinks the IRS targeting scandal was driven by Valerie Jarretts office in the White House, according to information that he saw that Democrats tried to whitewash.
Roberts told talk radio host Hugh Hewitt that he participated in a Senate Finance Committee investigation into the IRS scandal but the effort was made by the majority, by the Democrats in the Congress, to simply end that investigation, which he called a whitewash.
Im convinced that even Valerie Jarrett was involved, Roberts said.

cute. Pithy.
Irrelevant. Simple. Shallow. And wrong - but cute and pithy. Congrats.
This is true, and that’s really been hammered home in the last 3 years.
Thank you for the complement!
I’m sure your love of the GOP-E makes them correct on anything they say or do 100% of the time.
Oh. Right. Sometimes I forget which one is Preezy.
Roberts isn’t and has never been a RINO.
Ding! Ding! Ding!. . .we have a winner!
Notice when Hewitt asks him a direct question: "if the Republicans get the majority, will the investigation get into the IRS and Benghazi in a way that has been prohibited from doing by Harry Reid?" Roberts avoids a direct answer "yes." . . he did not answer the question. But the key "kabuki" moment in the Hewitt interview takes place when Roberts says: "if you follow the communication, IF WE CAN GET IT, then I'm convinced it goes into the White House, even to Valerie Jarrett.
Right. . ."IF WE CAN GET IT". . .
You're a moron. See below. I'll accept your apology anytime. You can call me a lot of things, but saying I love the GOP E 100% of the time is the height of ignorance and arrogance.
Pat Roberts "gets something right" on a regular basis and is one of the most reliable conservatives we have in the U.S. Senate. Most of us in the rest of the country would kill for a GOP Senator as conservative as Roberts.
>> We slam the RINO's pretty good around FR - and they deserve it. <<
Roberts is NOT a RINO. Again, check his voting record since he became a Senator. If he's a "RINO", then so is Ted Cruz, since they vote almost identically.
>> But Roberts is in a tough election <<
So what? He's ALWAYS done the right thing when he's in a tough re-election fight or not. The lunatics smearing Mike Enzi used the same "he's only voting conservative cuz he has a tough re-election fight against Liz Cheney" BS, and now that she's long gone and he has no chance of losing in November, he's STILL voting reliably conservative. Yet the Liz Cheney cheerleaders have never admitted they were wrong.
>> Credit where credit is due. <<
If you really feel that way, stop drinking the Milton Wolf "Roberts is a RINO" kool-aid. Damning with faint praise does more harm than good. You sneering "gosh, scumbag liberal RINO establishment hack Roberts did something right for once" is NOT helping his re-election campaign, and your propaganda painting him as a "RINO" is completely false as well.
Then what was your snarky reply for?
I haven’t called you any names, but do I apologize for my ignorance in regards to the books you have written.
True. Sigh...
But I'm willing to suffer the head bruises for the three more weeks before the election. I hope you will as well.
These guys/gals are simply falling into a trap set for us by the Dems. And you are right - they are not the brightest bulbs in the box. I suspect some will vote for the Dems just to send a "message" to the GOPe. As if (credit to "Clueless) the GOPe would pay the least bit of attention to such a wasted vote.
Trading "feeling good" about your anti-GOPe vote versus winning the Senate and giving Ted Cruz and Mike Lee more power is simply CRAZY.
Accusations are one thing. Revelations are another. Roberts needs to present the evidence he claims the Democrats whitewashed.
Actually, I do know a thing or two. Was the “DUH” necessary? Have a nice day.
Jarrett has been the female Karl Rove. No doubt about it she is running the country.
Funny how he only mentions this as a last-ditch desperate attempt to avoid defeat.
Where has he been for the past six years?
How many years did this take? Wonder does Roberts have a security detail now because he has stated the obvious - Jarrett is responsible for much of the corruption that is going on. she is Obama’s Master and he is her little marionette (Puppet). Hopefully Roberts does not suffer some drastic accident or something else.
Jarrett and Axelrod should be in front of a grand jury.
Yes, for now he sees the writing on the wall .. there’s no way he will get reelected without the help of a few members of the Tea Party.
I sure hope those members will constantly remind him - which will help to keep him on the right path.
However, I’m concerned about his leak of IRS info .. and I’m wondering what kind of firestorm it will cause. I’ve said it was Valerie Jarrett from the beginning .. all of the illegal stuff; IRS; Benghazi; VA; etc.
I don’t agree .. I’ve seen Ted Cruz get involved with Rubio - and setting Rubio straight about his cabal with Schumer. What happened?: Rubio stopped allowing the dems to use him in their amnesty schemes. No wonder the left still hates Ted Cruz.
Ted Cruz doesn’t play games. His help must have had a caveat regarding his support for Roberts. The more repubs in the Senate that Cruz can influence will only help America to get back on track.
