Liberals try to bury IRS scandal
Mathew Staver, Chairman Liberty Counsel Action
July 19, 2013
During hearings held by the House Oversight Committee yesterday, Democrat lawmakers chose to use the occasion to attack the integrity of the Inspector General! Meanwhile, the liberal lapdog media is chanting, “There’s nothing to see here.”
The familiar liberal tactics of “accuse; diminish; silence” are being used to try to sweep the intensifying IRS scandal under the rug. But the IRS abuse has been so widespread and so egregious that it is becoming clear that the management culture of that agency is totally corrupt.
Now that testimony has established a clear link between the targeting of conservative groups and the office of the IRS Chief Counsel in Washington, DC, the entire administration cover story is unraveling fast. The IRS Chief Counsel is a political appointee approved by the President himself.
Please take a minute today to add your name to our powerful petition calling for a complete investigation headed by a Special Counsel. Join over 75,000 of your fellow concerned patriots by going here:
Please read my important IRS update below – Mat.
Yesterday, in a venomous attack against Inspector General (IG) J. Russell George, Democrat lawmakers implied that his report on IRS targeting was skewed for political gain.
But George stood his ground and expressed great concern over the tone of the accusations…
“I have to admit, I am a little concerned that this type of forum could have a chilling effect on the operations of Inspectors General. We’ve never treated an IG office like this.”
This mean-spirited assault comes on the heels of recent disclosures that the IRS Chief Counsel’s office demanded information on 2010 Election activity of Tea Party applicants.
++Peggy Noonan, author and former advisor to President Reagan, call this news a “bombshell”!
In damaging testimonies, career IRS officials in Washington now say that Lois Lerner ordered Tea Party cases to go through a multi-layer review that included her senior advisor and the IRS Chief Counsel’s office.
The IRS Chief Counsel’s office is led by William Wilkins, one of two Obama Administration political appointees at the IRS. The channeling of conservative applicants through the Chief Counsel was a highly unusual procedure, according to testimony before the committee. It is yet another scathing indictment of the IRS’ lack of integrity and impartiality.
This allegation now directly ties the Washington, DC, IRS office to the targeting of conservative groups, which is certainly contrary to prior IRS official testimony – and once again reveals the potential of higher-level involvement than has been previously admitted.
PLUS, the news of the Chief Counsel’s involvement also follows the disclosure that the IRS inappropriately accessed and scrutinized the tax records of political candidates and donors during the time frame that targeting of conservative groups took place.
It has also come to light that when the Department of Justice (DOJ) was notified of these illegal actions, the DOJ swept it under the rug and refused to prosecute.
++The mainstream media (MSM) is now ignoring the IRS scandal.
With few exceptions, the MSM has never been on the forefront of reporting on Obama’s scandals, but now they are executing their “stand down” orders by saying, “There’s nothing to see here.”
A USA Today editorial proclaimed: “IRS scandal starts to lose luster.” MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell reported, “IRS hearing uncovers no evidence of Washington scandal…again.”
Clearly, these news outlets are intentionally downplaying the scandal. This is a classic strategy from the Obama playbook.

P.S. We cannot let this corrupt administration get by with yet another outrageous abuse of power. While the IRS scandal is still unfolding, the media wants to pack it in!
I believe we are just beginning to scratch the surface of uncovering the depth and height of illegal IRS involvement in manipulating conservative organizations during an election cycle.
Please help us spread the word that next week we will be once again deliver tens of thousands of petitions to congressional leaders as a reminder of their duties.
I hope you’ll take a minute today to order your “In God We Trust: Not Big Brother” sticker.
