How's this for sneaky? Sen. John McCain, not too long after seeking conservative and Republican votes in his failed 2008 bid for the presidency, went right after those same conservative voters without telling them, by egging on the IRS to ruin them.
It's the sort of political back-stabbing that defies belief, taking an active role in destroying the Tea Party, which was an authentic grassroots movement of local groups calling for smaller government. But sure enough, Judicial Watch has found McCain's central role right there in the documents:
Judicial Watch today released newly obtained internal IRS documents, including material revealing that Sen. John McCains former staff director and chief counsel on the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee, Henry Kerner, urged top IRS officials, including then-director of exempt organizations Lois Lerner, to audit so many that it becomes financially ruinous. Kerner was appointed by President Trump as Special Counsel for the United States Office of Special Counsel.
The explosive exchange was contained in notes taken by IRS employees at an April 30, 2013, meeting between Kerner, Lerner, and other high-ranking IRS officials. Just ten days following the meeting, former IRS director of exempt organizations Lois Lerner admitted that the IRS had a policy of improperly and deliberately delaying applications for tax-exempt status from conservative non-profit groups.

Yep, Kerner’s appointment by the Trump admin is something that should now be rectified.
Anyone who knows anything about Juan McLame should not be surprised by this at all.
May he soon roast.
He’s in up to his neck. Probably it’s the reason he’s pretending to have cancer and be able to avoid DC and ramifications for his treason. Hide out behind Mommy Cindy’s mansion and money.
McCain has always been a Democrat in an R jersey.
It is irrefutable now.
It’s going to be Meghan.
I hope his Vietnamese handlers hurt the hell out of him and when the traitor bastard dies the devil does the same.
Sessions refused to prosecute...
McCain has always been a POS. Does anyone think AG Sessions did not have all this information when he gave Lois lerner a Free Pass? Sessions was cleaning up the mess. Just like he is doing now. Maybe he should be using his energies to clean up “everything mcCain”.
Words can’t express how wrong this was - and is - as long as Henry Kerner has this appointed job. The Senate club was so against conservative, God-fearing, patriotic Americans that they wanted to financially ruin them. McCain and Kerner - enemies of Americans.
I read, but can not verify, that Maryland Congressman Elijah Cummings recommended Rod Rosenstein. This may have occurred around the time that PDJT had the Black Caucus in the Oval Office for a meeting. If so, Trump may have thought it would be a way of winning some support from the BC. POTUS has since learned that Dems cannot be trusted in anything.
It has to be someone who will continue the same crooked dealings and hold on to the crooked staffers. The crooked staffers are the ones who remain nameless and faceless to the world, and they are the ones that carry out all the backroom deals that screw the American people. When did the staffs of Congress explode?
And Henry Kerner works in the WHITE HOUSE!! HE NEEDS TO BE FIRED..TODAY!!!!!
What kind of info is he privy to and LEAKING or SABOTAUGING!
This POS is out Franco ing Franco! Just hurry up and let me pop the cork.
YES! The person that recommended Kerner needs to be FIRED today also!
Sad that it took your post #14 to realize the other problem in the article. It should have been picked up immediately. We all know McCain’s a skunk but why neglect that this creep Kerner has been given a position in the present administration? That definitely needs to be shouted far and wide...calls for calls and emails to the WH!!
Now learning more about his treachery, what do you think he was really doing meeting with the Isis leaders in Syria back in 2013?
“”Did Jeff Sessions know this when he let Lois Lerner off the hook?””
Wasn’t she let off the hook long before Sessions ever left the Senate?
