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.

I earlier posted the Judicial Watch statement about this, but sundance has added some relevant information that amplifies the exposure of this crime.

In some respects this is old territory, but only recently has the proof surfaced to backup the accusations. Damning evidence, again.

I had to edit out a few comments I did not want to in complying with the excerpt size. So, I recommend for clarity you go to the link and read the full article.

Not a surprise. I’ve long counted McCain among the enemies of America. And don’t try to tell me he knew nothing of this.

McCain is nothing more than a commie infiltrator posing as a 'Republican' reporting back to the DemonRat party. In other words, SPYING FOR THEM.

McCain also helped to form ISIS as well as handle the BOGUS Anti-Trump Steele Dossier. WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME IF HE DEFECTED TO THE VIET-CONG, BOWE BERGDAHL STYLE.

Meet your maker, McCain. Payback's a b*tch.

“””Not a surprise. I’ve long counted McCain among the enemies of America. And don’t try to tell me he knew nothing of this.””

McCain was Obamas running mate in 2008. They were both running against Sarah Palin. McCain has always been a democrat.

Targeting his only voters. What a fowl stinking pile of garbage he is.

Sadly, history will show I voted for him but I only did to cast a vote for Sarah.

Overlay this Machiavellian web of deceit and power against the latest understandings of how John McCain dispatched another member of his staff, David Kramer, to act as a go-between and facilitator for the Christopher Steele dossier use against candidate Trump; and factor in how the entire intelligence apparatus was weaponized; and consider that both Democrat and Republican leadership were willfully blind in this effort; and a very clear picture emerges.

In CHINATOWN John Huston tells Jack Nicholson “ugly buildings, whores and politicians all gain respect if they live long enough”

John McCain would be the exception that proves the rule.

Do you guys remember the annoying emails from McCain asking for campaign contributions back in 2008? I wonder how many of the people he targeted sent money at his request?

McCain was the lone republican caught in the Keating thing. He is corrupt.

It was not for nothing when Trump said McCain is not a war hero. He knew a lot of things about him already.
