Here’s the JW report…

"Henry Kerner, urged top IRS officials, including then-director of exempt organizations Lois Lerner, to “audit so many that it becomes financially ruinous.”

Judicial Watch Obtains IRS Documents Revealing McCain’s Subcommittee Staff Director Urged IRS to Engage in ‘Financially Ruinous’ Targeting | Judicial Watch

I’m pretty sure that those 2 partial sentences in your post are the only things you have actually read from your link.

What else could he have meant?

I mean we can see what the swamp can do if they set their mind to it. But no one tried to flip anyone in the IRS case.

A large part of “the swamp” in this case was Henry Kerner. Guess who he works for now? Trump and his job…wait for it…is to investigate corruption.

So trump has done nothing but make the swamp deeper and poopier? Ok.

You could have just admitted you don’t read your own links. Smyrna has already copped to that. It’s why you guys get jacked around constantly and will parrot anything.

Is this a projection from the Lanny Davis fake news?

I know. There are lots of complete sentences in that article, and it’s much longer than a tweet.

The IRS “scandal” is a perfect example of how misled, disingenuous and dishonest Trump supporters really are.

At NO point was anyone’s speech suppressed. Whenever you hear someone state that, they are lying through their teeth.

Liberal and conservative groups with hyper-partisan names were given extra scrutiny when filing for tax exempt status, as they should’ve been. Totally reasonable profiling that at NO POINT interfered with ANY organizations ability to operate and exercise free speech.

But Trump supporters, perhaps due to dishonesty or just plan ol’ stupidity, keep banging this drum.

rolltide · 2018-08-29T20:57:22.681Z

Trump was eyeballs-deep in the swamp in the business world. What made his idiot supporters think he wouldn’t be eyeballs-deep in the political swamp? He has created the nastiest swamp around and his fanboys think it’s glorious! LOL

Why did they lose so many E-mails? Why were 95% of those held up Republican?

Is that the swamp is trying to impeach him without any proof?

Too bad no one went to jail… 500 more rep orgs and Romney’s ground game may have reflected the polls…

“The IRS admits that its treatment of Plaintiffs during the tax-exempt determinations process, including screening their applications based on their names or policy positions, subjecting those applications to heightened scrutiny and inordinate delays, and demanding of some Plaintiffs’ information that TIGTA (Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration) determined was unnecessary to the agency’s determination of their tax-exempt status, was wrong,” the IRS’ consent order read.

Oh wait! Maybe it was someone from McCain’s staff.

Must’ve gotten those e-mails lost with the 33 MILLION lost by the Bush admin that you couldn’t have cared less about. And why 95%? Are you under the false assumption that both sides were equally trying to falsely claim tax exempt status? That’s like assuming there should be an exact percent of blacks in prison correlating with the same percent that are in the population at large. Don’t work that way sparky! You’re as bad as libs with that thinking.

500 rep orgs to about 8 lib orgs being held up by the IRS is statistically impossible to happen without massive biased…

I’m not sure that number is accurate. Regardless, with the rise of tea parties throughout the states there were a lot of conservative groups forming up. Probably a lot more than liberal groups at the time.

Just an observation in response to you. Doesn’t exonerate the IRS here.

I’m not surprise you would be confused, as the media works hard to confuse people. It was under reported initially.

The IRS paid off 427 groups of recently.

You have to work real hard on Google to find the number of lib groups held up by the IRS for “extra scrutiny”, as it was very few, but all articles mention it as thought it was in some way equivalent which is was not even close.
