BREAKING NEWS: OBAMA IRS EXPOSED FOR CORRUPT ANTI CONSERVATIVE PRACTICES. IT MUST BE ABOLISHED.

Obama IRS Obstructs Justice?
NO!!! REALLY !!!

I HAVE BEEN CALLING FOR THE ABOLISHMENT OF THE IRS...YOU CANNOT HAVE A BIASED TAX COLLECTION AGENCY THAT LOOKS THE OTHER WAY FOR OBAMA SUPPORTERS LIKE AL SHARPTON AND JESSE JACKSON..

AND ATTACKS THE POLITICAL OPPOSITION

Well this one doesn't come as a surprise, but it does demonstrate that justice delayed can be justice denied. We have just obtained new internal documents from the Department of Justice (DOJ) that show how the IRS Office of the Chief Counsel worked to delay a meeting between an IRS employee and DOJ and FBI investigators about the Obama IRS abuse and harassment of Tea Party and conservative groups and individuals who were in the way of Barack Obama's reelection effort.

To help you with a timeline, it was in May 2013 that the Treasury Inspector for Tax Administration (TIGTA) released an audit report confirming that the IRS used "inappropriate" criteria to identify, hamstring, and handcuff conservative organizations that stand in opposition to Team Obama. Put simply, the agency violated the First Amendment rights of countless Americans just as Obama sought reelection.  As further confirmation of the criminality of Obama's IRS abuse, in 2014, Lois Lerner, the former Director of the IRS Exempt Organizations Unit that was "suppression central" for the tax agency, was held in contempt of Congress after refusing to testify at a congressional hearing about the agency's witch hunts. (The Holder Justice Department has yet to prosecute this contempt charges.)

This latest batch of emails, which were released in response to just one of our several FOIA lawsuits against the DOJ, provide the first window into the criminal investigation of the alleged IRS abuses.  The emails detail the involvement of the DOJ's Public Integrity Section, which JW was first to expose as being part of a scheme to work with the IRS to prosecute groups and individuals critical of the Obama administration. The documents show the IRS scandal is only getting worse and that the IRS Counsel's office, which is operated by an Obama appointee, has been, once again, stonewalling any serious investigation.

For starters, the emails show that on June 12, 2013, the lawyer for a cooperating IRS employee witness in Cincinnati complained to a Justice Department prosecutor about the IRS Counsel's office delaying approval of a meeting between the IRS employee and Justice Department prosecutors:                     

...we find it amazing that they didn't immediately respond giving us the green light to meet with you.

So, that's not a very encouraging sign.

The DOJ prosecutor wanted to know who the contact in the IRS Counsel's office was and wrote back, "Let's talk in am if they don't get back to you. Thanks." 

Though investigators wanted to meet quickly, the emails show it was nearly a month before the unnamed IRS employee met to proffer evidence to two Justice Department prosecutors, two FBI officials, and an investigator from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. The proffer session seems to have taken place in the IRS's Cincinnati office on July 11, 2013, and included the IRS employee's attorney, who the documents suggests works at the Cincinnati area law firm of Adams, Stepner, Woltermann & Dusing, PLLC.  The documents detail that the proffer took place after a Garrity immunity waiver was secured for the IRS witness. This matters because Garrity immunity assures the right of public employees not to be compelled to incriminate themselves.  

And why is the Obama DOJ is quick to give an Obama IRS employee immunity one of the most significant scandals of the Obama era?   One can't have confidence in this decision-making because the Obama Justice Department has a massive conflict of interest that undermines public confidence in its ability to pursue justice in this matter.

The most obvious conflict is evident in the fact that the DOJ's Public Integrity Section was investigating the IRS scandal only a month after it reached out to Lois Lerner about prosecuting targeted tax-exempt entities!

And then there is Barbara Bosserman, who is an attorney at the Civil Rights Division who has been reported to be leading the IRS investigation at DOJ.  She's not exactly, a detached dispassionate figure here. According to Federal Election Commission records, Bosserman contributed $6,750 to Obama's campaigns and the DNC from 2004 to 2012, including 12 separate contributions to Obama for America between 2008 and 2012.  As I told you last week, the Obama administration is desperately fighting us in federal to cover up even the most basic information about her role in the investigation.

Then there's William J. Wilkins, the chief counsel for the IRS, who is a political appointee of President Obama's.  Wilkins was a former Democratic staffer in the U.S Senate, a donor to Democratic candidates and committees, and was a lobbyist for several years.  Guess which office is key in the ongoing IRS cover-up that Judicial Watch is successfully fighting through multiple federal lawsuits?  The IRS Counsel's office.  And guess whose lawyers are representing and defending the IRS cover-ups in these same federal lawsuits?  The Justice Department!   All with your tax-dollars, of course.

Recall that the May 14, 2013, Treasury Inspector General report that revealed that the IRS had singled out groups with conservative-sounding terms such as "patriot" and "Tea Party" in their titles when applying for tax-exempt status details that the "Chief Counsel" was involved in the IRS's Tea Party and conservative targeting.

In this second "rolling production," the DOJ also released 34 pages of heavily redacted emails, while admitting that it had reviewed 938 pages of responsive records related to its contacts with the IRS concerning the criminal prosecution of targeted tax exempt entities.

The DOJ claimed that 904 pages were exempted from release for one of the following reasons:  a) contains tax return information; b) deliberative process and attorney work-product privilege; and c) unwarranted invasion of personal privacy of third parties. An additional 55 pages are currently being reviewed by the FBI for processing and response.

Despite these redactions, the new documents do provide us with important details and insight into what DOJ officials were examining and the nature of the documents it wanted from the IRS witness in question here.

On July 12, 2013, the DOJ attorney (whose name is blacked out) emails:

We appreciate receiving the time line related to the "TAG spreadsheet" and "BOLO" that [REDACTED-BLACKED OUT] prepared. As we stated, that time line will be covered by the proffer agreement she Executed yesterday.,,,

we would also appreciate obtaining the email communications that you obtained from [REDACTED-BLACKED OUT] pertaining to the 501(c)-application issues we discussed yesterday, i.e., the public allegations that the IRS "targeted" certain groups based on their political viewpoints, in particular groups associated with the 'Tea Party." As I explained yesterday, due to the filter procedures we have in place, could you please divide the communications into two groups, those dated before and those dated on or after March 1, 2012? To the extent practical, the emails dated on or after March 1, 2012, should be placed in a sealed envelope or otherwise clearly separated from the first batch (i.e., if they are scanned and emailed, please do so in separate files). To the extent any of these applications contain taxpayer information, return information, and/or taxpayer return information, the Department of Justice and the FBI have referral authority under 18 U.S.C. 6103(h) to view this information by virtue of our participation in a joint investigation with TIGTA.

We don't know why the emails needed to be filtered. And we don't know what the witnesses shared with investigators. We do know this "investigation" is an ugly mess and it is no surprise that, after nearly two years, the criminal investigation of the Obama IRS by its co-conspirators at the Obama Justice Department is a farce.

Learn About General James Mattis... Legendary Marine General.

17 Brilliant Insights From Legendary Marine General James Mattis.

We Need him to lead our country.

Retired Marine Gen. James Mattis is a legend in the military. Revered by Marines and non-Marines alike, Mattis has taken on the persona of a modern-day Patton — having the knowledge and insight to lead his Marines through combat, while standing behind them and taking the heat if things go bad. In short, Mattis is a hell of a leader.
In 2013 while serving as commander of Central Command in Tampa, Fla., Mattis retired after four decades of service. Since then, he’s been teaching at Stanford and Dartmouth, as well as speaking across the country on leadership. He’s also working on a book with author Bing West.
We looked back at some of the best insights he offered, through a great collection of quotes. Most apply strictly to military service, but some can be just as useful in the corporate boardroom.

“You cannot allow any of your people to avoid the brutal facts. If they start living in a dream world, it’s going to be bad.”

The “dream world” Mattis is talking about is one of denial and complacency — a mood in combat that can get you killed. And in corporate America, it can get you wiped out by the competition.

“If in order to kill the enemy you have to kill an innocent, don’t take the shot. Don’t create more enemies than you take out by some immoral act.”

Mattis, who co-wrote the manual for Counterinsurgency with Gen. David Petraeus, knows well that troops cannot win over the population to their side if they are killing the wrong people. His advice here to soldiers and Marines is spot on.

“I don’t lose any sleep at night over the potential for failure. I cannot even spell the word.”

Of course he can spell it but that’s not the point. Mattis wants to impress upon his troops that failure should not be an option.

“Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.”

Before his Marines deployed to Iraq in 2003, he told them this (along with many other great pieces of advice in a now-famous letter). His point here is to be a professional warfighter who can be polite with civilians, but always remember that if things go south, the dirty work needs to get done.

“The first time you blow someone away is not an insignificant event. That said, there are some sh–heads in the world that just need to be shot. There are hunters and there are victims. By your discipline, you will decide if you are a hunter or a victim.”

Recalling the mentality of the wolf, the sheep, and the sheepdog, Mattis understands that there is evil in the world. It’s important for his men to be prepared for whether they will be the hunter or the victim if they ever face it.

“There are some people who think you have to hate them in order to shoot them. I don’t think you do. It’s just business.”

One of his more controversial quotes, to be sure. But in Mattis’ view, to be a professional, you need to have a professional mindset. It’s not really necessary to get emotional about what you have to do. It just needs to get done.

“You can overcome wrong technology. Your people have the initiative, they see the problem, no big deal … you can’t overcome bad culture. You’ve gotta change whoever is in charge.”

In a talk at Stanford, Mattis was relating how toxic culture can bring down an organization that has everything else right. The culture of an organization comes from the top, and if that part is screwed up, there are going to be problems.

“The most important six inches on the battlefield is between your ears.”

Mattis doesn’t want robots just mindlessly following his orders. As a leader, he gives broad guidance and lets his men use their own brains to decide how it gets accomplished.

“Find the enemy that wants to end this experiment (in American democracy) and kill every one of them until they’re so sick of the killing that they leave us and our freedoms intact.”

Amen.

“In this age, I don’t care how tactically or operationally brilliant you are, if you cannot create harmony — even vicious harmony — on the battlefield based on trust across service lines, across coalition and national lines, and across civilian/military lines, you need to go home, because your leadership is obsolete. We have got to have officers who can create harmony across all those lines.”

Mattis implores his officers to not get stuck in their own little boxes. Learning how to be brilliant on the battlefield is important, but it’s more important to be able to work with others to get the job done.

“PowerPoint makes us stupid.”

Military officers endure (and have to create) tons of PowerPoint briefings to inform their chain of command what’s going on. Mattis however, is not one of those officers. He actually banned PowerPoint since he saw it as a waste of time.

“You are part of the world’s most feared and trusted force. Engage your brain before you engage your weapon.”

Mattis wants his Marines to always be thinking before they take the shot. It’s advice that has no doubt saved lives.

“An untrained or uneducated Marine … deployed to the combat zone is a bigger threat to mission accomplishment … than the enemy.”

The biggest detriment to mission accomplishment is not from the competition, but from within. Having the right mindset and skills is what results in getting results.

“No war is over until the enemy says it’s over. We may think it over, we may declare it over, but in fact, the enemy gets a vote.”

Combat doesn’t happen in a vacuum. All the planning, meetings, and briefings on what potentially can happen in a given situation are good, but the bad guys will always react in uncertain ways. The key is to be prepared for anything.

“Be the hunter, not the hunted: Never allow your unit to be caught with its guard down.”

Just because you are at the top of your game doesn’t mean someone won’t come along to knock you down. Units (and individuals) need to be vigilant and make sure that doesn’t happen.

“Ultimately, a real understanding of history means that we face NOTHING new under the sun.”

Mattis is an avid reader. On all his deployments, the general brought along a ton of books that he thought may help him along the way. In an email that went viral (via Business Insider) on the importance of reading, Mattis wrote that it “doesn’t give me all the answers, but it lights what is often a dark path ahead.”

“You’ve been told that you’re broken. That you’re damaged goods … there is also Post-Traumatic Growth. You come back from war stronger and more sure of who you are.”

While giving a speech to veterans in San Francisco, Mattis tried to dispel the mindset that those leaving the service should be pitied. Instead, he told them, use your experiences as a positive that teaches you to be a better person.
