Yes, if Scaife's foundation claimed on its forms that it GAVE the money to JW, and JW didn't claim to have RECEIVED the money on its forms, that might raise some eyebrows at IRS....especially half a million dollars?

But that would also be super stupid. Scaife's contribution has been public knowledge for ever so long. How could anyone think that they could get away with not reporting it? Whatever else Larry Klayman might be, he is not stupid, and you would have to be major league stupid to pull a stunt like that.

And why? There is nothing illegal (as far as I know) or immoral about Scaife making a sizable contribution, nor would JW's likely contributors care. The press would make a stink, sure, but they were going to be ragging on JW anyway.

I just cannot believe that the Scaife contribution is the basis of this audit.

Point well made!
