IRS Official to Judicial Watch: Clinton Enemies Were Audited

Newsmax ^ | April 23,2002 | Carl Limbacher

Where exactly did he say that?

"An official with the Internal Revenue Service has admitted that legal opponents of former President Bill Clinton were singled out for tax audits, according to court documents made public this week. "What do you expect when you sue the president?""

""There were literally six witnesses in the room when Breslan told us we should have expected an audit," Judicial Watch Chairman Larry Klayman revealed to NewsMax.com."

""The IRS asked for our political affiliations in the first notice of audit," Klayman told NewsMax."

However I do see your point and looking back at my post, it appears that I attributed words that were not said. Let me edit my statement to correct this error:

And according to senior IRS official Paul Breslan's own admission, the audit was politically motivated. In my opinion, even the dimmest, most obtuse person can clearly see this is a witch hunt designed to intimidate those who would dare question their masters. It is a gross abuse of the power entrusted to our public servants, the sole purpose of which was to squash political dissent, long considered the lifeblood of a free society.

Like that better?

No, not better:

An official with the Internal Revenue Service has admitted that legal opponents of former President Bill Clinton were singled out for tax audits, according to court documents made public this week. "What do you expect when you sue the president?""

"There were literally six witnesses in the room when Breslan told us we should have expected an audit," Judicial Watch Chairman Larry Klayman revealed to NewsMax.com."

"The IRS asked for our political affiliations in the first notice of audit," Klayman told NewsMax."

Those are ALL Larry Klayman's words. I hope you don't mind, but I'll wait and see what the truth is.

Those are ALL Larry Klayman's words.

Um, actually there are a few in there he didn't say. Those happen to be the most disturbing ones in the article:

"What do you expect when you sue the president?" senior IRS official Paul Breslan told Judicial Watch (in front of 6 witnesses)

[Howlin]

That IS what Klayman said he said; we shall see, won't we?

They got re-invented.

What happened to the good thread on this topic?

What happened to the good thread on this topic?

It's still here, but it got locked down after some 2014 post/replies.... Boy did it get around the horn, IRS, Ron Brown, All the different Gates, just about any aspect you could think of....

JUDICIAL WATCH FIGHTS CLINTON IRS ATTEMPTED AUDIT

[Howlin]

A better question is WHY was it reposted?

[ned]

Well, that's a shame because I think that we were just beginning to get into the real issues. Which side was I on this time, anyway?

[FreedominJesusChrist]

Ping!

[deport]

Heck, I don't remember..... Seems there was some talk at one time about the "over my dead body" statement about releasing the donor list to the IRS...

[FreedominJesusChrist]

Howlin believes that any news article which happens to support Judicial Watch is an outright lie. Her personal distaste for Larry Klayman gets in the way of her judgment and causes her to believe that anyone who supports Judicial Watch is either a liar or a crazy fool.

Remind me, Freedom, where were we when we were so rudely interrupted?

[FreedominJesusChrist]

That is not only what Larry Klayman said, but is also what Bob Novak, a very respected conservative journalist and political pundit, has said.

[KLT]

Hey, we've been screaming about this for years....everyone knew this....it's about time, someone wrote about it....Bump-ar-roonie Guys!

[FreedominJesusChrist]

I believe that you and BeAChooser were arguing about Ron Brown, although I am not sure, you may wish to check the thread yourself. All I remember for sure was that Luis Gonzalez spewed some unauditable verbage and ironically, had the last word on the thread.

[ned]

Thank God Almighty, it's here at last!

[Howlin]

That is not only what Larry Klayman said, but is also what Bob Novak, a very respected conservative journalist and political pundit, has said after he talked to Larry Klayman.

I did not see ONE fact in that Novak article that came from anywhere other than JW. Nice try though.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

You should check out deport's link on his #29 post. Believe it or not, there were many crazy people supporting the IRS one this one. I was personally repulsed by this and quite surprised.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

With all due respect, Rebeckie........Howlin simply believes in logic and objectivity.

You, OTOH, think that Larry Klayman should not be audited because you are a defender. Previous threads have shown a number of reasons that questions might need to be answered.

Now if you consider your defense to be lying or crazy or foolish........that's your business. However, you shouldn't blame someone else for it.
