Did Bill Clinton Turn IRS Into Gestapo?

‘Secret police agency’ used to intimidate, harass, exact revenge

WND

CHELSEA SCHILLING

Few federal agencies are more feared and loathed by Americans than the Internal Revenue Service – especially when corrupt presidents abuse the power of the IRS to harass and exact revenge on political enemies.

Several administrations have purportedly used the IRS to attack their foes, including those of Presidents Calvin Coolidge, Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon and George W. Bush. Most recently, President Obama’s administration has admitted to using the agency to target conservative organizations filing for tax-exempt status as well as their donors. Obama claimed there is no IRS scandal and insisted there was “not even a smidgen of corruption” in the agency’s targeting of conservative groups. But WND has also unearthed a major bombshell in connection with Obama’s IRS, revealing that the agency contracts with an avowedly “progressive” organization supported by George Soros to process data filed by smaller tax-exempt groups.

However, Obama may have borrowed the IRS tactic from the playbook of his Democratic predecessor, President Bill Clinton, who, until the current presidency, used the IRS’ “power to destroy” more than any other administration in history.

In 2002, Judicial Watch – the watchdog group that had filed more than 50 legal actions against the Clinton administration and afterward found itself in the IRS’ cross-hairs – reported an IRS official admitted that the Clinton administration targeted its legal opponents with tax audits.

“What do you expect when you sue the president?” then-senior IRS official Paul Breslan asked Judicial Watch, which became a target of an audit in 1998 after it filed an impeachment report against Clinton.

In his 1999 column, “Clinton’s IRS gestapo,” WND Editor Joseph Farah wrote, “In a very real way, the IRS has been Clinton’s secret police agency – the go-to guys when no other punishment will do.”
