Senator Pat Roberts: Valerie Jarrett Was Involved in IRS Scandal [VIDEO]
The Daily Caller ^ | 10-11-14 | Patrick Howley

Posted on 10/11/2014 4:58:56 PM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

Republican Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts said Friday that he thinks the IRS targeting scandal was driven by Valerie Jarrett’s 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.”

“I’m convinced that even Valerie Jarrett was involved,” Roberts said.

“I think this was White House-driven. I think all of the information at least that I saw leads to that, so we really have to finish this investigation,” Roberts said.

He discussed most of that...you commented after just reading the headline, right?

No arrests - well you better just call Eric Holder right up and complain. His lack of action is surely the fault of Republicans, right?

McConnell was raising the alarm on this more than a year before anyone wanted to even mention it besides some reports on Fox News, and a few jabs by liberal commentators implying he was making it up to be partisan. He ran this ad on the internet later after the news finally broke using Nixon which made the Democrats go virtually apoplectic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV-0WcPGml0&list=UUquggXAkbTbtDuGOP2CqCPA

Water is wet. What else is new. One way or another Valery Jarrett is involved in all of Obama’s scandals. She pulls his strings. Obama does not take a shit unless she okays it.

That wasn't "discussion" that was Roberts picking up a bunch of marbles and shoving them into his month and then making noises. HE SAID NOTHING!

First of all, 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?" DID YOU HEAR A "YES" FROM ROBERTS?? NO!. . that's #1. . .he did not answer the question. SECONDLY. . .and this is the key lay down by Roberts: "if you follow the communication, IF WE CAN GET IT, then I'm convinced it goes into the White House, even to Valerie Jarrett.

Ok, Charlie Brown, Nancy Roberts has the football all teed up for you. . .IF YOU CAN GET IT. . I'm convinced you will kick it!!!. . HA HA HA

McConnell ran an Internet ad? How courageous! What balls!
Or... What balls?

McConnell and Boener are disgusting political hacks who deserve nothing but contempt from all men of good character. Go sell your surrender-your-principles-until-we-win somewhere else.

By the way, on the topic of this post, I would probably vote for Roberts, given the chance. He may be a Republican fossil, but he has been conservative and I do not consider him a RINO.

Pat, you are just over three weeks away from a possible upset loss. If you have evidence that the White House was driving the IRS actions then maybe now would be the time to release it.

Tea party party members have to get prepared for the probability that some Establishment Republicans were also involved in this or at least aware of it.

Roberts is the poster boy for establishment Republicans.

“he thinks the IRS targeting scandal was driven by Valerie Jarrett’s”

Seems like Mr. Roberts has read my posts (along with a hundred other FReepers).
