"“The Obama IRS scandal is bipartisan – McCain and Democrats who wanted to regulate political speech lost at the Supreme Court, so they sought to use the IRS to harass innocent Americans,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The Obama IRS scandal is not over – as Judicial Watch continues to uncover smoking gun documents that raise questions about how the Obama administration weaponized the IRS, the FEC, FBI, and DOJ to target the First Amendment rights of Americans.”"

McLame was such a H8er

Just remember folks that it was the genius of GWB that showed that the triple alliance of crony capitalism, globalism and socialism could pay off big time - it did for him - it bought him permission to invade Iraq, we got Obama and we go the inflationary (period after the Big Bang) growth of the DS, and voila we have a swamp that extends out for 50 miles in all directions from “Ground Zero” [the central courtyard of the Pentagon].

I’ve felt for years that John McCain has an irrational HATRED FOR AMERICA & AMERICAN PATRIOTS and has had that hatred for his entire adult life, if not longer. The more we find out about McCain, the stronger my belief in McCain’s anti-Americanism.

HE IS DESPICABLE!

He never does anything unless he’s paid to do it.

who in the world vets these people that President Trump nominates? who vetted Kerner? is it any wonder that President Trump is in so much trouble with the “piss” poor vetting that he has received when choosing people for important positions? another trojan horse among many.

Yep; obviously Kerner is another deep state ugly swamp creature than needs to be put away or at the very least; put out of government.

McCain is the most despicable republican in the history of the GOP. (I’ve disliked that SCUMBAG ever since the Keating 5)

I cannot wait for his wife and daughter to respond. One thing about going to heaven (everybody returns to the Maker that sent them) old lord McCain will not get to take with him, one thin dime of his ill gotten gains. And he will get to answer all by himself, no wife or daughter, or democrat staffers, to account for his evil deeds.
