IRS Documents Reveal RINO McCain’s Staff Director Urged IRS to Engage in “Financially Ruinous” Targeting of Conservative Groups

Empirical evidence that the spineless gutless RINOs and ossified GOP establishment are just as evil as their left-wing counterparts. And thanks t President Trump, they are/were super easy to identify – Never Trumpers.

JW released bombshell IRS docs showing Senator John McCain’s former staff director & chief counsel for Senate Homeland Security – Henry Kerner – urged top IRS officials (like Lois Lerner and others) to “audit so many that it becomes financially ruinous.”

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today released newly obtained internal IRS documents, including material revealing that Sen. John McCain’s former staff director and chief counsel on the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee, Henry Kerner, urged top IRS officials, including then-director of exempt organizations Lois Lerner, to “audit so many that it becomes financially ruinous.” Kerner was appointed by President Trump as Special Counsel for the United States Office of Special Counsel.

Just ten days following the meeting, former IRS director of exempt organizations Lois Lerner admitted that the IRS had a policy of improperly and deliberately delaying applications for tax-exempt status from conservative non-profit groups.

Nobody, including Trump ever said The Swamp and the Deep State were only democrats. Republicans can be leftist commie pricks too. McCain is a perfect example. We (real conservatives) have know for quite some time he is NOT on our side. There are scads of these quislings all over the Congress, media and even state and local positions. That's why the left hates us and hates Trump. We're on to them and we're not gonna take it any more.
