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 Watchs 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 Clintons impeachment for misuse of the IRS, was officially made part of the Congressional record. The IRSs 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 Watchs 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 IRSs 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 Watchs 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 Watchs 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.

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.
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.
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.
How much does it cost you say.... How much do you have?
And that purpose being to serve satan and through her his agents think they will prevail over the saints.
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.
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.
I don't know how it compares with other cruise prices, but I think I'll pass this time.
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.)
