IRS Tax Examiner: Target Conservative Groups Because They Are “… just f***ing fronts for the Koch brothers.”
Deleting IRS Emails is “… so cool… [conservatives] could not hold any evidence against… ” Former IRS Commissioner John Koskinen “…I don’t give a s**t if that is a crime.”
IRS Attorney on Lerner Scandal: “All that stuff we saw in the news, yeah mistakes were made.”
IRS is Comfy Gig, Democratic Socialist of America Gets “… a lot of paid time off and sick days” to Use for Activism
Contempt for America: “Unfortunately, I am not allowed by the bylaws of my union to go against the Constitution.”
(Washington DC) Project Veritas has released the fourth story in a series of undercover reports which unmask the Deep State. This report features two Internal Revenue Service (IRS) officials who candidly discuss the IRS’s unfair treatment of conservative non-profit groups. The two officials in the report are Thomas Sheehy, an IRS tax examiner and member of the Austin Democratic Socialists of America in Texas, and Jerry Semasek, an IRS attorney in Washington, DC.
The Austin Democratic Socialists of America is a socialist group that works to advance ‘progressive issues’ in Austin, Texas.
Flagrantly Targeting Conservative Groups
Sheehy boasts about and appears to justify former disgraced IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, who was mired in scandal for losing tens of thousands of emails regarding the Lois Lerner controversy. The Lois Lerner controversy occurred in 2013 and involved revelations showing that the IRS unfairly scrutinized conservative groups.
SHEEHY: “John Koskinen. He got a lot of flak for giving increased scrutiny to these Tea Party groups. Conservatives got really mad at him, he was so cool though because he deleted all the emails, so they could not hold any evidence against him.”
Sheehy continues:
SHEEHY: “Yeah, I don’t give a s**t if that is a crime for doing that because… you should give increased scrutiny to those groups because a lot of them are just f***ing fronts for the Koch brothers or whatever.”
Mistakes Were Made
In a separate meeting, attorney Semasek discloses to Project Veritas multiple times that “mistakes were made,” during the 2013 scandal when conservative non-profits were targeted when applying for tax-exempt status.
Oh, no doubt this is all “edited” and “taken out of context”.
The liberal influence needs to be purged from the DOJ and FBI. Then the rest can be cleaned up.
From The Hill, 10/02/18 — IRS pursuing fewer tax evasion cases: report
What should we have expected? The government has been turned over to the cheats and crooks. We’ve put a con man and a tax cheat in the White House because he promised he’d drain the swamp, and half of the country still hasn’t figured it out.
@Greg: Your post has nothing to do with the subject. Shove your silly rabbit hole.
@Greg: Remember when Obama had the IRS violate their trust and become a political weapon of the Democrats? Illegal actions have consequences. Until those who broke the laws are held accountable and everyone involved is exposed, their budget should be cut.
The most corrupt criminal ever to have run for the office of President lost and sits on the sidelines issuing examples of gross hypocrisy.
@kitt, #3:
Really? I suppose I just assumed that Trump supporters would consider any serious investigative reporting focusing on his lifelong habits of fraud and tax evasion to be part of some Deep State, IRS conspiracy targeting political conservatives. My mistake.
From FOX News, today, October 3: Trump reaped millions in shady tax schemes from father’s business, report says; NY Tax Department ‘reviewing’ allegations
@Greg: I’m sort of surprised the State or City of New York has enough spare money lying around to finance their pursuit of fantasies to try to damage Trump. I guess liberals never mind or hesitate to waste the money of others. After all, THEY have no idea what it takes to earn money.
Not only does this have nothing to do with Kavanaugh, it has nothing to do with reality.
@Greg: I understand they tossed another straw to the pathetic. This thread is about progressive socialists with extreme bias that are buried in the government using their positions to advance an anti constitutional agenda.
Paid time off they are on my dime trying to go against the constitution.
Using their tiny power to undermine our country.
@Deplorable me, #6:
Once the IRS or any state revenue authority stops going after tax cheats and frauds, there will be little revenue to do anything at all, and honest U.S. taxpayers will have the burden of all necessary costs shifted onto their shoulders. The GOP has already seriously harmed every honest U.S. taxpayer by seriously reducing the IRS’s investigation and enforcement budget. This is generally what happens when you put the foxes in charge of the hen house.
Tax cheats are stealing from every honest taxpayer, plain and simple. They’re not stealing from the government.
Trump is a liar and a thief. He hasn’t robbed the government. He has robbed every honest American taxpayer. Some are able to figure this out. Others aren’t, or have reasons for refusing to see.
@Greg:
“Stop”? When will they start? When will they get the taxes owed by Sharpton? Buffett owes a billion in taxes; have they gone after him? How about the “charity” cover for the Clinton Foundation? 10% going to charitable works a charity does not make.
It’s partisan persecution, it wastes money and it always fails. But, all that matters is the ACCUSATION. It’s how the dishonest operate.
Oct. 3, 2018 — Republicans Rigged the System to Enable Crimes Like Trump’s Tax Evasion
May 22, 2017 — Trump’s casino was a money laundering concern shortly after it opened
The man is a liar and a confidence man, and almost certainly a crook. It’s an open secret. It has been for years. What do people not get about this?
@Greg: You and all your liberal idiot buddies are unhinged. I saw Mayor Big Bird on television crowing about going after tax evaders. Why hasn’t he gone after Sharpton for the local taxes he owes? Oh, that’s right… for liberals, the apparatus of the government serves the liberal agenda.
This is why there should, ideally, be NO liberals in government anywhere. They are criminals.
From CNN, October 3, 2018 — A financial disclosure from Donald Trump’s sister led to The New York Times report on his taxes
There’s a reason why Trump hates and condemns the media. They pull back the curtain and show the people what’s behind it.
@Greg: 20 to 50 % isnt a huge mark up do you know how much jewelry is marked up or furniture? Didnt the Clintons donate to their own foundation for shady a tax dodge? Notice there is no Russians in this 15K word story not one reference to Putin or the oligarchs that funneled cash to the Clintons for U.S strategic assets such as uranium.
Fred may have made his kids rich and trained them in the art of gaining wealth and using the US tax code to avoid the government from confiscating all of it.
WE DONT CARE WE CHEER THEM ON its old news recycled as a distraction, and held out as a carrot to the desperate, like you.
Going back as far as HS isnt good enough they go back to when lil Donny was a genius toddler making shady deals with mobsters lol.
11 Takeaways From The Times’s Investigation Into Trump’s Wealth
The man should be a convicted felon, not president. There’s a bottom-line takeaway. Somebody should leak all of his tax returns. They’d deserve a medal for performing a public service.
Is Donald Trump’s Downfall Hidden in His Tax Returns?
There are several horses currently in the race to the downfall finish line. Obstruction is currently in the lead, followed closely by Collusion, but Massive Tax Fraud could be maneuvering for a position from which to overtake them both.
It’s odd that Massive Tax Fraud has so far gone unreported by the right wing media. The New York Times broke a very big story on the subject.
@Greg:
But he’s NOT a felon and he IS President. So, once again, your wishes do NOT come true.
You should shit in one hand and hope in the other and see which one fills up faster.
All we’ve got to do is pry loose his tax returns—just remind people every day that he promised on multiple occasions to release them, but hasn’t released diddly squat.
Everybody knew the claim that years of particular interest were still under audit was a lie. His own idiot attorneys inadvertently provided evidence of that.
