EXCLUSIVE: IRS Launches Investigation Of Clinton Foundation
Daily Caller ^ | July 27, 2016 | Richard Pollock

Posted on 07/27/2016 8:50:27 AM PDT by ncfool

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen referred congressional charges of corrupt Clinton Foundation “pay-to-play” activities to his tax agency’s exempt operations office for investigation, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.

The request to investigate the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation on charges of “public corruption” was made in a July 15 letter by 64 House Republicans to the IRS, FBI and Federal Trade Commission (FTC). They charged the foundation is “lawless.”

The initiative is being led by Rep. Marsha Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican who serves as the vice chairwoman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, which oversees FTC. The FTC regulates public charities alongside the IRS.

The lawmakers charged the Clinton Foundation is a “lawless ‘pay-to-play’ enterprise that has been operating under a cloak of philanthropy for years and should be investigated.”

I bet his investigation team is in Kenya. I am going to guess that the investigation is complete and gets a clean bill of health as John Koskinen wants to see retirement and not be 6' under.

Until Trump is in nothing will come of this. Another useless effort.

Trump for President.

This way they don’t have to answer any questions about the Klitons because of the “ongoing investigation.”

How convenient!

You got it. This is really part of a cover-up and exoneration of the Clinton Foundation. It is putting the fox in charge of the hen house.

Is Lois Lerner coming out of “retirement “ to lead the investigation?

The investigation will show that there was wrongdoing, but there wasn’t any intention to get caught, so no charges will be brought by the Lynch lawyers.

Maybe somebody in the Senate and/or the FBI has the goods on Koskinen and that it would behoove him to cooperate.

DISMANTLE the IRS (Internal Revenue of Socialists). Quit this kabuki theater, this charade, this pretense of law, this pretense of justice. Koskinen and Lerner should be in federal prison.

Socialism Is Legal Plunder

http://www.usdebtclock.org

You would use the law to oppose socialism? But it is upon the law that socialism itself relies. Socialists desire to practice legal plunder, not illegal plunder. Socialists, like all other monopolists, desire to make the law their own weapon. And when once the law is on the side of socialism, how can it be used against socialism? For when plunder is abetted by the law, it does not fear your courts, your gendarmes, and your prisons. Rather, it may call upon them for help.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. - list of grievances; Declaration

6. But the grand nostrum will be a public debt,

7. It must not be forgotten that the members of the legislative body are to have a deep stake in the game. This is an essential point, and happily is attended with no difficulty. A sufficient number, properly disposed, can alternately legislate and speculate, and speculate and legislate, and buy and sell, and sell and buy, until a due portion of the property of their constituents has passed into their hands…

8. (4) A great debt will require great taxes; great taxes, many taxgatherers and other officers; and all officers are auxiliaries of power.

10. “Divide and govern” is a maxim consecrated by the experience of ages, and should be familiar in its use to every politician…

11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks.

Bill will have a meeting with Koskinen at an airport somewhere to discuss a family fishing trip and this investigation will be wrapped up in no time.

Clinton’s equals never ending investigations. Even if I agreed with her politic’s I would want these constant investigations to end. Do they really want another 4 to 8 years of the Clinton’s?

Well, since the only purpose of the foundation is to unlawfully funnel income to the Clintons, you know an honest IRS investigation would turn up countless felonies.

If only we had an honest IRS that would conduct an honest investigation :(
