The revelation that Acting IRS Commissioner Douglas Schulman visited the
White House at least 157 times during the period in which conservative groups
were being targeted with tax audits gives us the first real indication of the
extent to which this scandal reaches into the White House.
The incredible frequency of the White House visits — essentially weekly —
indicate that Obama must have been deeply involved with the inner workings of
the audits and harassment of conservative groups. If Schulman was in the White
House every week, what was he there to talk about?
Not ObamaCare. Not without having HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius in
attendance, you wouldn’t. About Treasury issues? Deficit reduction? Not without
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner.
The obvious reason is that Obama was following the IRS audits with an
obsessive, personal involvement. Apparently, the Citizens United scandal so
galvanized him into action and tapped so deeply into his psyche that he was
determined personally to supervise the castration of the wealthy people and
groups whose access to the political system was opened wide by the Court.
To see a man who held a subordinate, non-policy making position 157 times,
you have to be a president on a mission.
It transforms one’s sense of the scandal from a rogue agency to a rogue
president using the agency as his personal instrument. An instrument of
vengeance, or self-defense, and of political influence.
Nixon was doomed when we all realized that the paranoia of the man had
infected his entire administration. When Chuck Colson led the plumbers unit to
investigate leaks and to use the IRS to terrify and intimidate his enemies, we
realized that he was operating as Nixon’s man doing Nixon’s bidding based on the
needs of Nixon’s psyche.
No we realize that the IRS audits and the harassment of conservative groups
went very very deep in Obama’s priority system. This scandal will destroy him.
Or, as the Greeks said in ancient times: “Those whom the Gods would destroy
they first make mad with power.”
