The IRS’s targeting and harassment of conservatives and Tea Party groups impacted the 2012 presidential election between Obama and Romney.
Jay Sekulow, from the American Center for Law & Justice, said it was “very well possible” during recent testimony before the House.
We know that the IRS is suppressing conservative groups, so it’s not only ‘possible’, it happened.
And, because it happened it basically means the election was stolen – just one more reason why Obama’s presidency is illegitimate.
Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the American Center for Law & Justice, said it was “very well possible” that the IRS’s targeting and harassment of conservatives and Tea Party groups impacted the 2012 presidential election between President Barack Obama and Republican candidate Mitt Romney.Testifying before a House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Regulatory Affairs hearing Thursday to discuss the IRS’s targeting of conservatives, Sekulow, whose organization is representing some Tea Party groups that were targeted, was asked by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) whether he felt that the targeting changed or impacted the 2012 election.
Sekulow said that there is evidence that the “groups being intimidated,” even those that did not realize it at the time, had a “significant impact on the election.” He said it is “very well possible” that the 2012 election was impacted by an “aggressive, continuous, and systemic intimidation factor by the IRS with applications still pending… for three years.”
When Tea Party groups and conservatives like Mark Levin raised concerns about some suspicious activity by the IRS at the time, the mainstream press and Democrats ridiculed them for being paranoid. That turned out not to be the case, as revelations came from within the IRS that the agency scrutinized the tax-exempt applications of Tea Partiers and conservatives more than it did progressives. In addition, the IRS reportedly targeted conservative donors as well.
Somebody had to help that Frigging Clown
they are no law and justice in this county just those in power steal from the weak
Well, duh! They and most of the cemeteries in the country.
Fire them all
Okay, people, time to stop this nonsense of saying what we all feel! Now, let’s DO SOMETHING about it!
Not to mention all those dead voters!
It amazes me what passes for journalism today. First of all, he quote, “it’s very.well possible” comes from the people trying to make the case that the IRS did these things. That is proof of NOTHING! It is supposition and nothing more. Next, the bottom line here is that you had a flood of clearly political groups trying to obtain tax exempt status in order to campaign for and fund raise for right wing politicians. They tried to get this status throughout claims that they were either charities or community service organizations. They were neither of these things and SHOULD have been investigated as should have and we’re many left wing pacs making the same claims. As for “stealing an election”,let me remind you of the year 2000 and Jeb Bush illegally purging over 90,000 voters from the rolls,democratic leaning voters I might add, in order to pave the way for his brother to steal the presidency. If you want an illegitimate presidency, look no further than George W.Bush and while you’re at it you can realize it was HIS administration that signed the agreement with Iraq that made us withdraw forces in 2011 NOT Mr. Obama, it was during HIS administration that the financial meltdown occurred and that instituted the bailout. Lastly it was that administration which got us mired in this middle east war! You people love to put up your little memes on Facebook showing that gas was $1.78 a gallon the day Obama took office and then 6 months later it was $3.50 or something. What you fail to acknowledge is that 6 months prior to that it was $4.00 a gallon and when Bush took office is was $.99 a gallon! It was the Bush administration who told us going to war would not only keep gasoline cheap but that the oil revenues from Iraq would almost completely pay for the war. $3 trillion later you somehow want to blame this on Mr. Obama. On second thought,it doesn’t surprise me the pathetic level of” journalism”, they are just enabling you to rewrite history and giving you the lies you want to tell yourselves in writing. Sadly, people like you will never bother to do any real research for yourself, you will vote based on bumper.sticker slogans and we will all pay for it with idiots like Louie Gohmert and Michelle Bachmann sitting in our legislature. I hope God will have pity on us but I doubt it. I imagine even he is sick of the idiot sideshow that our political system has become.
