True The Vote Wins Historic $2 Million Settlement Against IRS
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | May 8, 2019 | Sundance

Posted on 06/08/2019 9:04:43 PM PDT by bobsunshine

News we might have missed. Last week Catherine Engelbrecht announced a historic legal victory in her decade long battle against the IRS for targeting her group, True The Vote, as part of the Obama administration’s weaponization program against political opposition.

U.S. District Court Judge Reggie Walton issued a stunning ruling (full pdf below) in favor of True the Vote, and penalized the IRS. Judge Walton forced the IRS to pay maximum attorney’s fees due to discrimination against the conservative organization that stemmed from the Lois Lerner scandal. The financial award is likely to exceed $2 million.

You are assuming Lerner is living in an “ecstatic state”, and I do not agree.

I think that Lerner will NEVER live down her shame.

And I am very familiar with robbing banks, having worked in banks and been in five robberies. I am not a wimp.

This brings many of us great satisfaction to know that Zer0’s weaponization of the IRS did not go without consequence. What would be better is the $2 million settlement came out of Zer0’s back side.

In other things, the clock is ticking for Zer0.

($2 million) - (legal costs) - (time spent) == Less then zero

<>However, after the NSA alerts in/around March 9th, 2016, and particularly after the April 18th shutdown of contractor access, the Obama intelligence community needed Fusion GPS to create a legal albeit ex post facto justification for the pre-existing surveillance and spy operations. Fusion GPS gave them that justification in the Steele Dossier.<>

Strzok’s insurance policy wasn’t to remove PDJT; it was to cover his tracks and others in Obama’s years-long illegal surveillance operations. It is no coincidence that Strzok “investigated” Hillary, led the illegal spy operation against candidate Trump, nurtured the Dossier into legitimacy, and worked on Mueller’s independent counsel team.

EVERYTHING they did from early 2016 onward was to deflect and obfuscate Obama’s massive illegal searches and surveillance of millions of Americans.

“They were also targeted by the FBI, ATF and OSHA.”

As I recall, Rep Elijah Cummings had a role in coordinating the targeting with the different agencies.

History will not be kind to Hussein. Same for modern “journalism” which covered up Husseins sedition.

We can get a rebate if someone murders her, what with the death tax and all.

Apparently that is the only available route for anyone who wants justice in this case.

Every day the DOJ does *not* issue indictments is another offense against justice in the United States. By now, dozens or hundreds of indictable offenses should have been prosecuted.

Atty General Sessions showed absolutely zero interest in doing so. And now, Atty General Barr must have his feet held to the fire to get the process moving at full steam.

Breaking up the largest and most powerful organized crime syndicate in the United States, far worse and more destructive than a hundred Mafias and drug cartels, needs to begin in earnest.

Because, DAMN THE REPUBLICANS WHO HAVE LET THIS SLIDE, this organized crime syndicate has *already* assumed the reigns of power at least twice (Clinton and Obama), and terribly harmed our nation.

Once or twice more and they may succeed in their goal to destroy the United States. All of it, and for good.

If that happens, the dead Republicans responsible should be disinterred and their remains left in the gutter for dogs to eat, and their entire families should be sold into slavery.

Let’s not mince words. Attorney General Barr, get to work. The clock is ticking. Time is running out for America, while criminals work their works in the corridors of power.

Yes, but the $2 million will be paid under the Trump Administration and the Obama Administration. The news media will spin this as Trump corruption.
