If this isn't a smoking gun, I don't know what is — Obama met with IRS union chief the day before agency started targeting conservatives.
This explains things…
President Obama met with anti-Tea Party IRS union chief Colleen Kelly in the White House the day before the agency targeted Tea Party.
The Spectator broke the news:
"For me, it's about collaboration." — National Treasury Employees Union President Colleen Kelley on the relationship between the anti-Tea Party IRS union and the Obama White House.
Ms. Kelley's union enthusiastically endorsed President Obama in 2008 and 2012. Her union proudly supports anti-Tea-Party candidates with big monetary donations. She visited the White House once, to meet directly with President Obama. And one day later the IRS unleashed a full-scale war on Conservative Tea Party groups.
But I'm sure all that is just a coincidence.
According to the White House Visitors Log, provided here in searchable form by U.S. News and World Report, the president of the anti-Tea Party National Treasury Employees Union, Colleen Kelley, visited the White House at 12:30pm that Wednesday noon time of March 31st, 2010.
The White House lists the IRS union leader's visit this way:
Kelley, Colleen Potus 03/31/2010 12:30
In White House language, "POTUS" stands for "President of the United States."
The very next day after her White House meeting with the President, according to the Treasury Department's Inspector General's Report, IRS employees — the same employees who belong to the NTEU — set to work in earnest targeting the Tea Party and conservative groups around America.
In short: the very day after the president of the quite publicly anti-Tea Party labor union — the union for IRS employees — met with President Obama, the manager of the IRS "Determinations Unit Program agreed" to open a "Sensitive Case report on the Tea Party cases." As stated by the IG report.
Do you still believe Obama when he says he found out about IRS malfeasance by reading news reports? Because if you do, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn you can have, cheap.
UPDATE 20 May 2013 15:52:
US News says "nothing to see here." Uh, sure, thanks for showing your bias.
