Jeff Sessions’ DoJ Will Not Investigate IRS Suppression of Tea Party Groups
Breitbart ^ | September 8, 2018 | Neil Munro

(snip)

But the September 8 letter from the Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ Justice Department said it would not even reopen the investigation because officials require “proof beyond a reasonable doubt that a government employee intentionally discriminated against an applicant for a tax-exempt status based on viewpoint.”

So why doesn’t President Trump either order Sessions to reopen this investigation or fire him? If the President wanted it done, it would be done.

Sessions has proven to be an unmitigated disaster from day one!!!
Wish Rudy had been AG—doubt he would be physically up to the job as I understand he recently suffered a fall and underwent surgery.
Had such high hopes for President Trump’s DOJ to DRAIN THE SWAMP and exact long overdue justice.
Sessions, indeed, is either a total coward or actually a stealth creature of the corrupt Swamp himself!!!
And, I can NEVER FORGIVE him for recusing himself and allowing HIS PRESIDENT to endure the ongoing WITCH HUNT!!!

officials require “proof beyond a reasonable doubt that a government employee intentionally discriminated against an applicant for a tax-exempt status based on viewpoint.”

But its a lot bigger than just that. People who attended meetings were targeted for multiple IRS audits. People who led chapters were targeted by multiple agencies for hostile inspections and prosecutions. Multiple prosecutions, in some cases.

Sessions is a disappointment. He must be afraid of something.

The first thought that came to my mind when I heard this was what Congressional RINO was involved? McCain has never been a fan of The Tea Party or other Conservative groups, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was somehow involved. Or maybe another RINO. There’s plenty of them to choose from.

>>Some people said this would be the way it would be, and tehy got attacked for saying so.

Yes, they were right, and it’s a great disappointment that Trump permits these swamp creatures to continue slithering around OUR government agencies doing great harm to our country. He should be ashamed of himself.

That does not seem to be the standard with the Russians and Trump.

I’ll bet the “Justice” departments response is that they need to “move on”.
You can’t move on until you administer Justice. Has anyone noticed that nothing that we voted for isn’t happening! If this keeps going on another day then we have been had. I don’t know about you but I’m pi$$ed. The regular American is getting di¢ked while the low life scum Commie punk weirdos get everything they whine for. The only thing I can think of to fight back, short of an armed rebellion,is not pay taxes. That would make these whores in government think twice. It would have to be a very organized effort. Why should I pay taxes and abide by the law when all these trashbags flaunt it.

Sessions is not down with the “drain the swamp” thing.

The problem is that GOP big wigs like McCain, Graham, Murkowski, McConnel are probably fingered as accessories in the discrimination against tea party groups.

They wanted the tea party destroyed just as much as the demorats.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This!

I said it’s Teump’s fault. Sessions works for Trump. Period.
When Loretta Lynch worked for Obama Hillary was declared careless but not criminal. No one did a thing to Lois Lerner.
I say this is all Trump’s fault and the faults are starting to pile up for me.

Trump tried to light a fire under Jeff. All he got for his trouble was threats from both Democrats and the Uniparty. Jeff’s only response was that he ***might*** investigate a leak.

Jeff understands that the entire congress will revolt if Trump makes a move against him. They promised Trump they would not approve Jeff’s replacement if he’s fired.

Jeff screwed us all. Give credit where it’s due—directly to Jeff.

Maxine Waters let that cat out of the bag. “The President has put in place an organization with the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life. That’s going to be very, very powerful.” Comey, Clapper. Brennan and dozens of others have committed perjury. No one is going to jail. The swamp cannot be drained.
