Don't Believe Them

Howey

Drudge and his boyfriends are ablazin' with the latest non-issue, complete with misleading headlines and lies. This time it's the claims that a former Obama campaign staff
member admitted to meeting with the former IRS head at the White House. Shocker! No.

The misquote:

A clue as to whether the targeting by the IRS of Tea Party and other conservative groups was discussed at the 157 meetings that former IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman had at the White House may be found in remarks by Stephanie Cutter, deputy manager for President Obama's 2012 reelection campaign, in a recent appearance on Jake Tapper's show "The Lead" on CNN.

As reported by Gateway Pundit, Cutter attempted to dismiss charges they were political meetings but admitted she had attended meetings with Shulman at the White House. "I was in them with him," Cutter said. "So there was nothing nefarious going on."

Well, if they were not political meetings, why was she there at all? Was she there to offer her health care or tax code expertise?

The truth:


“A couple of facts here that I think are important for us to stick by, number one, the only reason we know about these visits is because the president makes everything public. Number two, what we’re really looking at some of these visits… What we are looking at the number of times that Mr. Shulman was cleared into the White House. It doesn’t necessarily mean he went to a meeting. Number three, many of those meetings were for healthcare implementation. I was in them with him. So there’s nothing nefarious going on.”

btw:

In 2010, Cutter was named Assistant to the President for Special Projects, charged with managing communications and outreach strategy for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
.

Oh, so that's why she was there! Dimwits!

Not only that, but Hannity brings up the lie about Schulman's 157 visits to the White House again...don't they ever give up lying?

HANNITY: What do you take out of Carney's statements that nobody in the White House knew then we found out the White House Counsel knew, then she told the chief of staff. I think the biggest news that came out -- Stephanie Cutter met with the IRS chairman. That's part of the political camp - - she is the deputy campaign manager, again, we were told by Carney, that never happened.

LIZ CHENEY: No. It's absolutely inexplicable that the IRS commissioner would be at the White House 157 times. I mean, most administrations, most honest administrations make a big effort to separate out what is happening in the White House from the IRS. The IRS is supposed to be an independent agency. We're not supposed to be in a situation where the president is using the IRS to go after his enemies.

And when you have members of his political campaign meeting with the head of the IRS, you know there is something very fishy going on. But I would also say people should look at this frankly, those of us who are conservatives, those of us who are patriots, those of us who agree with what the tea party stands for, you know, and take comfort in the fact that the administration would not be targeting us if they weren't worried about our power.

If they weren't worried about the power of these organizations to make real change and frankly to interfere with their plans for the nation so it should give people hope in terms of our ability to affect the future here.

HANNITY: Let me go to this issue of the 157 visits by the head of IRS to the White House because in the Bush years there was one visit. So if we want to -- as a comparison, Hillary went to visit Obama in the White House 43 times, Tim Geithner 48 times, and the IRS commissioner 157? Then he scoffs up by saying, well, I went to an Easter Egg roll -- how damaging or alarming is that number especially compared to the Bush years?

CHENEY: Well, you can't explain it. [Fox News, Hannity, 6/3/13]

Does who ever stop lying, the Whitehouse? no! and you never stop spinning for them. Therefore you would be an accomplice and worthy of criminal punishment!

That's right.

Just ignore the fact FAUX News is STILL spreading previously disproven statements as though they are fact.

Can you provide documented proof Schulman visited the White House 157 times?

Can you prove he didn't, who cares? if someone in the whitehouse said he wasn't there 157 time it means it was probably more this admin is corrupt to the hilt. And you are a internet disinformation troll for them.
