JUDICIAL WATCH FIGHTS CLINTON IRS ATTEMPTED AUDIT

JUDICIAL WATCH FIGHTS CLINTON IRS ATTEMPTED AUDIT

IRS OFFICIAL ADMITS: “WHAT DO YOU EXPECT WHEN YOU SUE THE PRESIDENT?”

(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the non-profit educational foundation that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it was fighting in court an audit attempt instituted by the Clinton IRS in retaliation for Judicial Watch’s litigation against President Clinton. Judicial Watch first received notice of an attempted IRS audit on October 9, 1998, a few days after its “Interim Impeachment Report,” which called for Bill Clinton’s impeachment for misuse of the IRS, was officially made part of the Congressional record. The IRS’s initial audit letter demanded that Judicial Watch “[p]rovide the names and addresses of the directors and their relationship to any political party or political groups.” In January, 1999, an IRS official admitted to Judicial Watch representatives, in the context of the propriety of the audit, “What do you expect when you sue the President?” Another IRS official admitted in June, 1999, that the political affiliations of Judicial Watch’s directors is a factor in any IRS audit.

After Judicial Watch scored legal victories against the Clinton Administration, Judicial Watch received audit notices and warnings from the IRS. For instance, immediately following its uncovering of the Clinton-Gore White House e-mail scandal in February, 2000, Judicial Watch lawyers received a call from an IRS official to inform them that Judicial Watch was still on the IRS’s “radar screen.” The IRS finally agreed to defer on deciding whether to audit Judicial Watch until after the Clinton Administration ended. Despite this agreement, in one of the last acts of the Clinton Administration, the IRS sent Judicial Watch another audit notice on January 8, 2001. The IRS also sent new audit notices throughout 2001 after Judicial Watch criticized IRS Commissioner Charles Rossotti. Rossotti is a Clinton appointee who “inexplicably” continues to serve under President Bush. In addition to presiding over the audits of perceived critics of the Clinton Administration, Judicial Watch requested criminal and civil investigations of Rossotti for his criminal conflict of interest in holding stock in a company he founded, AMS, while it did business with the IRS.

Judicial Watch now is fighting the attempted audit in federal courts in the District of Columbia and Maryland. As Robert Novak reports in his April 18th column, despite repeated requests to Attorney General Ashcroft to investigate, his Bush Justice Department has thus far refused to do so. (See Judicial Watch's letter to Attorney General John Aschroft) Instead, in the context of Judicial Watch’s lawsuit against the Cheney Energy Task Force, a Bush Administration official told Novak, “I don't know what we are going to do with this Klayman.” A copy of Judicial Watch’s complaint against IRS officials is available by clicking here.

“Judicial Watch has no objection to IRS audits at the proper time and place, under correct, non-political circumstances. We have nothing to hide. But when we were told that we were being audited because we sued Bill Clinton, we had no choice but to stand up and fight in court. Now, for its own reasons, the Bush Administration is content to let Clinton appointee Rossotti continue to harass Judicial Watch. Our lawsuits in response are intended not only to protect Judicial Watch, but are for the good of all Americans,” stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman.

"Geez, now he's stalking ME."

Let's see...probably not. Many women delusionally believe that they receive more male attention (unwanted as it may be) than they actually do. Law Enforcement frequently has to deal with bogus stalker cases.

They are a beacon of light in Washington.

Freedom, you hold onto your passion and idealism for as long as you can. Everything else will just sort of show up as you need it.

Well, in this thread, you basically have some of the most stubborn people on the planet.

Apparently, I am not a 'normal' 20 year old and I have no social awareness. I also cannot get a date because I happen to admire Judicial Watch. Do not ask me how they make that connection.

It appears that Southflanknorthpawsis is posting gay porn in the forum.

You get more and more desperate by the hour, don't you Reg? Can't you come up with anything better? Surely you are at least smart enough to know that anyone following this thread or who cares to look, knows what picture I posted.

My dear foolish man......if two men with swim trunks on is porn, your trash is quadruple X.

You ought to try harder to be truthful and original, but I guess both are difficult for you.

You need your head checked by a good shrink. Frustration and bitterness shows through with every post you make. Meow, kitty, kitty.

Well, well......again you practically copy someone else's words verbatim. You are really a fruitcake. Have you ever had an original thought in your life?

Meow, kitty, kitty

Is this supposed to be clever? How old are you? I have never personally known a man that acts as woman-like and immature as you do. What kind of real guy says, "Meow, kitty, kitty"?

I'm embarrassed for you. Not only are you completely void of humor and intellect......you have the emotional conduct of a 6-year-old girl.

No wonder you hang out and pick fights with women. You're certainly not masculine. A lot of people are repulsed by girlie-men. There's something so icky about it.

Beginning at $1499 apiece, IF you share a cabin?

I don't know how it compares with other cruise prices, but I think I'll pass this time.

Now is the concept sufficiently clear?

Yes, thank you.

I don't believe that Ron Brown was shot or murdered. I believe that he died as a result of injuries received in the plane crash. I do not have anything to base that opinion on, other than contemporary news reports and what I have read here on FR.

Am I a liar?

(Hint...this is a test.)

Oh, I forgot, in your world "real guys" tell off-colored jokes about their manhood right? BTW, If we are going to question each other, you haven't exhibited one ounce of femininity in the forum since you landed. Maybe it's your hormones.

What's up with the regional offices? One in Texas? George Bush is from Texas! Larry wouldn't be digging for dirt ... would he?

Exactly. The "Texas office" consists of Russ Verney, who is/was Ross Perot's right hand man and used to head up the Reform Party before Pat Buchanan wrested control away from the Perot faction. Russ is not a lawyer. No litigation or other legal activity is done by the Texas office.

Ross Perot is a (the?) major financial backer of JW. I don't know why, but Perot despises the entire Bush family. As he has demonstrated more than once in the past, he would rather see a Democrat elected than any Bush hold any office, especially for the office of President.

Perot now appears to be backing John McCain for President under a third party banner, as an independent, or even as a Democrat. His running mate? Why not Larry Klayman? Larry is consumed with jealousy and rage that someone as (in his opinion) incompetent as George W. Bush is President, when his abilities are manifestly more abundant.
