Stunning Confirmation: Judicial Watch Obtains IRS Documents Showing McCain Staff Urging IRS To
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | June 21, 2018 | sundance

It has long been suspected; the footprints and fingerprints were always present; McCain repeatedly denied it…. now the evidence surfaces.

For those who remember the issues when the IRS, White House and DOJ organized the post 2010 election “shellacking” targeting of Tea Party groups, the latest discovery from Judicial watch is confirmation of a long-held opinion.  John McCain was instrumental in supporting the weaponization of the IRS to target tea party groups.

WASHINGTON DC – […]  In the full notes of an April 30, 2013, meeting, McCain’s high-ranking staffer [Henry] Kerner recommends harassing non-profit groups until they are unable to continue operating. Kerner tells Lerner, Steve Miller, then chief of staff to IRS commissioner, Nikole Flax, and other IRS officials, “Maybe the solution is to audit so many that it is financially ruinous.”

Henry Kerner asked how to get to the abuse of organizations claiming section 501 (c)(4) but designed to be primarily political. Lois Lerner said the system works, but not in real time. Henry Kerner noted that these organizations don’t disclose donors. Lois Lerner said that if they don’t meet the requirements, we can come in and revoke, but it doesn’t happen timely. Nan Marks said if the concern is that organizations engaging in this activity don’t disclose donors, then the system doesn’t work. Henry Kerner said that maybe the solution is to audit so many that it is financially ruinous..

Judicial Watch previously reported on the 2013 meeting.  Senator McCain then issued a statement decrying “false reports claiming that his office was somehow involved in IRS targeting of conservative groups.”   The IRS previously blacked out the notes of the meeting but Judicial Watch found the notes among subsequent documents released by the agency.

Let me guess, no charges will be filed against this old POS traitor just because he has cancer and is consider by the media as a “hero”?

We knew all along that there was bi-partisan support for suppressing the Tea Party. No one in the IRS was ever prosecuted or lost their job. Lois Lerner and John Koskinen were permitted to retire with full benefits.

Interesting that the dead McCain seems to speak-out on every other political topic, but he’s been absolutely silent on this.

Great news!  I'm so happy this news came out before the ISIS-supporter McCain dies and Lucifer meets him at the Eternal Gate and gives him a quick tour of his new home at the sulpher mines and hot coals Locker Room.

He needs to meet his Maker with a contrite heart knowing patriots despise him for his many attempts to destroy America.  Trump tried to jolt McCain into his senses with Magic Orb shock therapy.  Too bad the stubborn narcissist was too far gone for that to work.

The McCain staffer assigned to do the dirty work is now in the Trump White House.

The torture he faced as a POW is nothing compared to the torture to come for eternity in hell for this POW POS!

I have zero compassion for people who put my people, my country, and my family in danger.

For all the damage that POS caused... He can’t expire fast enough.

And he should be in jail until his last moment.

I hope they all move to Venezuela or can afford the best bodyguard protection available...
Treason has always been a capital offence.

Emphasis on "speedy."

The end of Sundance's article - pic of McCain & Romney, yucking it up .... reminded me of this article I saw a couple of days ago:

You have to assume he experienced some deep level programming while captive. Should have never gotten this high in the DC power structure. Now DC will pay for his crimes.

Benedict Arnold was an outstanding American General who ultimately became a shameful traitor.

John McCain is shameful in just about everything he touches.
