Former IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman and two other IRS officials met with a top official at the White House one day before the agency issued new guidelines on how to scrutinize tea party and conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status. Shi* City Ned, we're busted !
Shulman -- joined by his chief of staff and political aide Jonathan Davis and IRS spokesman Frank Keith -- met with then-Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Jeffrey Zients at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building at the White House complex on April 24, 2012. Zients on extended vacation at undisclosed overseas location.
Only Zients and the three men from the IRS attended the meeting, according to White House visitor logs. Their meeting ran for just under eight and a half hours, the logs reveal.
The very next day, April 25, the IRS's chief counsel's office --led by William Wilkins, who met with Obama at the White House that same week -- sent Washington-based IRS officials "additional comments on the draft guidance" for approving or denying tea party tax-exempt applications, according to a report on the IRS scandal compiled by Treasury Inspector General J. Russell George. Comment from 'progressiveslayer' nails it:
That widespread targeting by multiple agencies across the government spectrum including IRS, NSA, FBI, ATF, AG, DOJ, EPA, and others together with voter fraud [140% turnout in some precincts ---- 5 swing states were won by just over 100K vote margin] are what bagged the 2012 election. Contrary to revisionist liberal history it was NOT a landslide
at 51% - 48% My feelings of complete shock at the results were not unfounded. There truly was something wrong...and NOW we know what it was.

Messrs. Wilkins and Zients may wish to conduct a discreet update of their personal affairs, avoid remote jogging, pub crawling, large postal packages, etc.

Mr. Wilkins is a political appointee (one of two at the IRS,) a lawyer with private-practice experience in tax exempt organizations. Odd that he would have allowed the IRS to fumble this.
On Sunday, Sen. John McCain (Rhino-AZ) appeared on CNN's State of the Union, where he called President Champ's Friday comments on Trayvon Martin and race "very impressive." Impressive, even though he could not raise his head or look into the camera with those sleepy, lizard eyes while mumbling on.
He said, "I think we should continue to make progress," but added that "we still have a long way to go," even as he declined to "second guess" the verdict in the George Zimmerman case. We will always have "a long way to go", .....that is until "we" are all gone.
McCain stated that "we were probably too optimistic" about race relations in the aftermath of the election of the country's first black president. "I think old prejudices die hard," McCain said. 'We have made significant progress, but I think recent events highlight the differences that remain." McCain also said he believed that "Stand Your Ground" laws should be reconsidered in light of the Martin case, despite the fact that "Stand Your Ground" was never invoked by Zimmerman and he was acquitted on grounds of self-defense. "Stand Your Ground" law applies to someone attacked from the bushes, returning to their car ?

McCain further cements his reputation as a pandering moron, a washed up FORMER war hero who sold out and is useless, even harmful, to the cause of liberty.

Pappy, good data to know. Somehow I think being humiliated by being recalled and booted from office is a fitting end and testament to McCain's true character.
Is McCain's "Pelosi" moment ("i dont know how many passports can someone forge based") drawing attention too? It seems like he decided to simply not give a damn anymore, and let his true colors and low IQ show.
Opinion of him is that he got a lot of attention due to circumstance and lineage, not to specific merit or brains, and has been riding those for his entire career after the military.

A few years ago I worked with a retired Navy CAPT and former OGA employee who was detailed to McCain during agency visits. He always said the man was an absolute piece of work.

I have read Senator McCarthy would not even have made it in the Navy, let alone allowed to fly a plane without the long protective arm of Admiral McCarthy, his father. Alos he was involved in an accident who came close todestroy an American carrier (fact). While he was cleared of wrongdoing the article points that there was far than enough evidence to bereak his carrer or ven being expelled from the Navy. But he was the son of an Admiral.
I don't know if the article detailed real torts and shortcomings of McCain's Navy carrere or iff it was motivated by political resentment.

Admiral McCain was CINCPAC and a full Admiral when his son was in the Navy. I don't know how active he was on protecting his son but even without him moving finger there were certainly many officers who thought better than pushinging sanctions or giving bad appreciations on the young McCain.

JFM, as much as I've come to despise McCain, he was in no way responsible for the fire on the USS Forrestal in 1967. A rocket from another plane set the A-4 next to McCain's on fire. He escaped by climbing down the nose of his plane.
McCain was 'involved' only in the sense that he was nearby when it happened.

he should stick to flying to war-torn 3rd world shitholes that have nothing to do w/us and then tell us how we should send troops to fix it. I wish this @sshole would retire and take his stupid arrogant pig of a daughter w/him.
