Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee Jim Jordan (R-OH) stated on Sunday that Special Counsel Jack Smith attempted to target conservative organizations during the Obama-era IRS controversy.
On Fox Business on Sunday, Jordan stated that his and Rep. Darrell Issa’s (R-CA) 2014 study investigating the IRS’s targeting of conservative tax-exempt groups had potentially problematic context for the Special Counsel probe against former President Donald Trump.
The interview comes after AG Merrick Garland appointed Jack Smith as special counsel to investigate suspected misconduct by former President Donald Trump following an FBI raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
“Guess who was the key person at the Justice Department searching for methods to attack and punish the exact persons looking into who Lois Lerner went after? Merrick Garland just nominated Jack Smith as special counsel to investigate President Trump.”
Indeed, Smith, the then-chief of the Justice Dept.’s public integrity section, criminal division, contacted his top leadership in September 2010 about a New York Times piece targeting conservative organizations:
“Check out the piece on the top page of the New York Times on the abuse of non-profits to indirectly fund campaigns. This is outrageous to me; could we ever file a [18 U.S.C. ] 371 conspiracy to violate US laws for the abuse of such non-profits to circumvent current campaign funding regulations and limits? I know 501s are legal, but what if they are intentionally utilizing them for purposes other than those authorized (and we could prove it)? These organizations are overseen by IRS Commissioner Sarah Ingram. Let’s talk tomorrow, but perhaps we could attempt to arrange a meeting this week.”
Smith then convened discussions on a “potential 501/campaign finance probe,” according to the House Republican report.
During an October 2010 meeting, Smith, the Public Integrity section’s chief, “voiced concern that some 501(c) organizations, conservative organizations, are essentially political committees ‘posing’ as though they are not subject to FEC rules,” and therefore might face “criminal liability.”
Trump said last week that he will not cooperate with the special counsel probe.
I just put all this in Heavenly Father’s hands, in Prayer. For all this truth will be revealed, once the Pimple comes to a full head. Finally, Darkness will be brought out in the open, bu God’s spiritual light, in HIS time. Very sad, how many live for death- darkness,
not light. Some very corrupt politicians who make up stuff, are terrible liars, looting our Nation-to destroy our economy by bringing in Islamic terrorists nicknamed – ANTIFA-, who are Murderers – thieves. Was used to burn out business owners and whole communities across America and abroad. Not care to bring up names. God has the list. List is pretty long, Lot of them. These evildoers need spiritual & human punishment..for setting out to destroy a sitting President, trying to destroy this Nation, still at it. Many in city, state, federal have broke their oath of office, many times over. And do they they care?? . NO. Just want a one party system, under communist rule- control.
So true. We all must continue to look up for closure. Every action and every player will be dealt with, severely, by God. He will not let this stand. Too many are suffering and dying in the name of profits. I do my best to educate people on the truth, but that is all I can do. I struggle to leave it all to God on a daily basis as the corruption is so obvious, yet many have been blinded and refuse to see. God must separate the sheep from the goats. Pray!
President Trump is the only one I have trusted since President Reagan. I have seen alot that goes on in the government over the year, read and heard about on news, some believed, some not. Seen to many people depend on the government to solve problems they did not want to mess with any more and it kept getting easier and that’s one reason why our government got to big.
I agree. I wouldn’t have voted in 2016 and 2020 if TRUMP wasn’t running.
So when will Obama be investigated? It is time to do so since he is still up to his skullduggery now.
WE PRAYED FOR 8 LONG YEARS IN OBAMAS NIGHTMARE TENURE.FINALLY AT LEAST SOME OF HIS CORRUPT SHENANIGANS ARE COMING TO LIGHT.
HE TOLD THE MEDIA IF THEY REPORTED ANYTHING BAD ABOUT HIM, THEY WOULD LOSE THEIR JOBS.
OBAMAS 8 YEARS WAS NOTHING BUT A FALSE CHARADE. THIS IS WHAT WE GET WHEN THEY PUT SOMEONE IN OFFICE , WHO FITS THEIR AGENDA, NOT BY MERIT. AND WE PAYED THE PRICE.
SAME AS WITH BIDEN.
TRUMP WAS THE ONLY ONE ”ELECTED BY US THE CITIZENS, THE REST IS HISTORY. BRING HIM BACK , OTHERWISE WE WILL NO LONGER BE RESPECTED, NO LONGER WILL WE BE THE STRONGEST NATION.
I just saw an article about a dimwit actress Alisa Milano Cookie and Tesla? WHO THE HELL CARES WHAT AN ACTRESS (get a real job milano). “HAS TO SAY ABOUT ANYTHING “ JUST TYPICAL HOLLYWOOD DIMWIT.
FIRST OF ALL THEY NEED TO INVESTIGATE ALL THE CORRUPT DEMOCRATS, FIRST IN LINE ”’OBAMA”’ THEN THE REST OF THESE AMERICA HATERS. HOW CAN POLITICIANS BE IN OFFICE ,IF THEY ARE AGAINST THEIR OWN COUNTRY??????????????? IT IS HIGH TIME EVERYONE IN THIS DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT IS REPLACED. WE HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH CORRUPTION , SO MUCH HATE, THANKS TO USELESS OBAMA.
100 percent agree. Demoncrats must be taken out of our system. They are no longer a group that can be allowed to have any power in this country. The enemy needs to be squashed!
The GREAT DIVIDER IN CHIEF, one of many of THE DEVIL’S ADVOCATES hell bent on fundamentally destroying America within as any true MUSLIM in power is decreed by their Karan to do so!!!
I JUST READ ABOUT BIDENS BIG LOBSTER DINNER. I HOPE HE ENJOYS IT, WHILE AMERICANS DO WITHOUT.
I JUST FOUND OUT THAT ”JILL” APPROVES OF BIDEN RUINING OUR COUNTRY.
TIME FOR A CHANGE PEOPLE. WE HAD ENOUGH OF THESE AMERICA HATING POSERS.
SPEWING NOTHING BUT HATE AND SLANDER.
STICK WITH A GOOD THING WE HAD FOR 4 YEARS. NO WAR, NO OPEN BORDERS. WE ALL WHERE SAVE.
DO NOT FORGET HOW MUCH RESPECT TRUMP RECEIVED FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. AND HOW THESE DAYS BIDEN IS A TYRANT AND THE WORLD IS LAUGHING AT US.NOTHING IS SAVE, HE TRIES TO DESTROY WHAT TRUMP PUT IN PLACE.
Emma:
Kevin McCarthy dined with Biden’s at the big Lobster Dinner. He wants to be the Republican Speaker of the house.
He is a two faced SCUMBAG, Career politician. As a conservative voter I feel, McCarthy is at the bottom of the cesspool. I hope the Republicans pick someone else. The Biden crime family needs to be in prison cracking rocks not eating Lobster dinner paid for by hard working Americans. McCarthy should have grown a pair & DECLINED the dinner invitation. He either stands for the principles of conservatives or bends a knee & sells his soul. He sold his soul. He will sell out his party & constituents.
Absolutely right about McCarthy. Once he gets hold of the gavel he will shed light on a lot of things. All that would happen is that those guilty will get a slap on the wrist and all will be forgotten and forgiven. McCarthy is like Murkowski, Romney, McConnell. Kinzinger and Cheney are openly anti Republican. McCarthy is a true snake in the grass. It’s the snake in the grass that needs watching.
We know that the Lie-beral Demonocrats have broken all the laws and seem to have unlimited corruption. The $64,000 dollar question is: WHO IS GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT !?!? Forget the FBI, they are now the FBCI (Federal Bureau of CONSERVATIVE Investigations). The demons are steam-rolling over us. BUT, I am still inspired by Obomma….everytime I see his face, I get an irresistible urge to go scrub the toilet !
Free the Jan. 6 Americans and Buck Joe Fiden !
I knew from day one that Obama was a Trojan horse from day one !! D’Nesh D’sousa went to Kenya to interview his siblings. They told D’Sousa that he was born in Kenya in this hut. He destroyed D’Sousa. He never opened his files like every president does !! In addition I remember him saying “ I’ve been to 53 states and I have another 7 states to go to”.
Obama was the beginning of fall of this Republic & he isn’t finished yet!!!!!
