You know, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. You don't think the IRS would have even considered looking at JW, even if the magazine article is correct, if he hadn't been going after Clinton?

Are you calling the Clinton IRS or the Bush IRS a stopped clock? It is hard to tell.

In either case, that's a pretty lame defense of either administration. You don't appear to deny that the facts overwhelmingly suggest the Clinton administration used the IRS to harass its political enemies (and JW was certainly that, wouldn't you agree) and you don't appear to have a counter argument to the inaction on the part of the Bush adminstration where the Jackson organizations are concerned (and the facts are even more suggestive of inappropriate if not illegal activities on their part than on JW's part, wouldn't you agree). I'm not saying the JW shouldn't be audited but if Jackson's organizations were not audited during the Clinton administration then clearly there were political reasons for auditing one and not the other. The same thing is also true if the Bush administration audits one and not the other. Wouldn't you agree?

Sure I do, and I've already told you so at least once on this thread.

So why aren't you up in arms about the Bush administration's inaction in that case? Your outrage is "selective" which leads me to question your motives.

Because this thread is about KLAYMAN'S case.

I'm thinking that this audit could be what the doctors call "multifactorial." It could very well be that the IRS and the government have a grudge against JW which has influenced their actions, and that's wrong. But it could also be that there are legitimate questions which you and I (or at least I) would like to have answered about JW's finances and tax returns. After all, JW does not have some kind of immunity from audit just because they are constantly suing the government.
