from link:

“We just released internal IRS documents revealing that Sen. John McCain’s 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.” President Trump, presumably unaware of these new facts, appointed Kerner 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, Lois Lerner admitted that the IRS had a policy of improperly and deliberately delaying applications for tax-exempt status from conservative non-profit groups.

I wasn’t just Songbird McCain, you can bet your last nickel a lot of Senators and Congress critters were involved.

We'll find them... not this election because we need the numbers, but we'll find them and systematically start eliminating them. FLAKE was an obvious ... others had the decency to quit... those left will be ferreted out.

Perhaps I am showing an embarrassing amount of naivety, but isn’t Jeff Sessons the Attorney General. And, as such, isn’t he the ‘CEO’ of that organization?

Why then can’t Sessons issue a blanket memorandum to his staff stating the DOJ will honor FIOA requests from JW without delay and that DOJ employees who do not do this will be disciplined?

The Republicans have a majority of the House, they have a majority of the Senate, their candidates are the President and Vice President of America. Why then is an organization like JW given the cold shoulder when making reasonable requests?

I can understand why roadblocks were constructed when the Democrats had all the important positions in Wash DC. But not now.

Can anybody help me with this? Maybe I should send these questions to President Trump.
