Wayne Allen Root:
I have the smoking gun. I was targeted and persecuted by the IRS in an over-the-top attack coordinated at the highest levels of government and the Democratic Party. I can now prove it with facts direct from my IRS files obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by Judicial Watch. As you’ll see below, my own IRS tax files not only implicate the IRS, but a leading Democratic U.S. senator in a criminal conspiracy to silence a critic of the president.
But don’t take my word for it. Let’s start with a quote by Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch:
The Obama IRS obstructed the release of Wayne Root’s tax documents. The abuse of process Judicial Watch and Wayne suffered through to get these documents is scandalous. Now we know why the Obama IRS was hesitant to give Wayne his own IRS files. These documents show the Obama IRS scandal was more than just suppressing the Tea Party, it was also about auditing critics of President Obama. Richard Nixon had to resign from office for less. The first order of business for AG Loretta Lynch should be to appoint a special counsel who can convene a grand jury to look into the Obama IRS outrages.
My IRS attack was a political conspiracy coordinated by leading Democrats to either destroy me, bankrupt me or silence me. News flash: You failed. Now I’m going to expose this criminal conspiracy. My case and my personal IRS files have been handed to investigators from the U.S. Senate committee looking into the IRS scandal.
It’s time for the media and Democratic allies of the president to stop making excuses. My case is at the core of the principles America was built on. A president — by law — cannot use the IRS to try to silence his critics or political opponents. U.S. senators — by law — cannot be involved in the IRS tax audits of individual taxpayers. The IRS — by law — cannot base tax audits on politics. If any of those things happen, it’s called a political witch hunt and crimes have been committed.
But until now, no one could prove the IRS was using politics as a basis for vicious vendettas against critics of the president. That just changed. I can’t wait to testify in front of the U.S. Senate about what we found.
First, it starts with the over-the-top nature of my IRS attack. I was audited starting in 2011. The audit started with something that IRS spokesmen and a government official from the office of the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration claim can never happen. These two government officials claimed in a recent Wall Street Journal article that no taxpayer will ever get a call from the IRS. They said if someone claiming to be from the IRS ever calls, hang up because it’s a scam. The IRS spokesman said the IRS never contacts a taxpayer by phone. Ever.
