IRS must disclose if it criminally investigated Hill and Bill Clinton's foundation

It looks like the Clintons just got the bad news: a U.S. tax court judge has ordered the Internal Revenue Service to disclose whether it criminally investigated the Clinton Foundation.

This ruling was part of an ongoing case involving whistleblowers who have long alleged wrongdoing on the part of the charity which bears the name of former President Bill Clinton and his execrable wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Judge David Gustafson pointed to a “gap” in IRS records and said that the agency’s claim to have never criminally investigated the Clintons’ charity “was not supported by the administrative record and thus constituted an abuse of discretion.” In other words, someone's telling a fib and needs a 'time out'.

Most of the details of the Clinton Foundation case along with whistleblowers, Lawrence W. Doyle and John F. Moynihan, who are respected forensic financial investigators, according to Just the News, have remained sealed. However, the judge has now authorized his April 22nd ruling, which remanded the case back to the IRS Whistleblower Office, according to investigative reporter John Solomon on his Just the News outlet.

“The WO must further investigate to determine whether CI [criminal investigative division] proceeded with an investigation based on petitioners’ information and collected proceeds,” the ruling stated. “It seems clear we should remand the case to the WO so that it can explore this gap.”

Just the News noted that the judge also declined Doyle and Moynihan’s request to accept a deposition from an Arkansas state official or to compel discovery in the case. Gustafson determined that to do so would have been “outside the scope of proper discovery” and basically tossed away any hopes of a revelatory trial and means the Clintons will skate free, as the ruling class almost always does.

“Petitioners evidently look forward to a trial in which they hope to prove wrongdoing and tax evasion by the target entities and to prove dereliction of duty by the IRS,” he stated. “There will be no such trial in this case.”

However, the ruling helps to perpetuate long-standing allegations that the Clinton tag-team used their foundation to launder money for political favors from foreign nations.

In December 2018, Doyle and Moynihan testified before Congress that they had filed an IRS whistleblower complaint against the organization.

They alleged that the Clinton Foundation engaged in illegal foreign lobbying when it accepted donations from overseas while trying to influence U.S. policy.

The charity “began acting as an agent of foreign governments early in its life and throughout its existence,” Moynihan stated before a House panel.

“As such, the foundation should’ve registered under FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act). Ultimately, the Foundation and its auditors conceded in formal submissions that it did operate as a (foreign) agent, therefore the foundation is not entitled to its 501c3 tax-exempt privileges as outlined in IRS 170 (c)2,” he said.

The Clinton Foundation, in response, declared itself to be “one of the most heavily scrutinized charitable organizations in the world” which had nonetheless “demonstrably improved the lives of millions of people across America and around the world, while earning top ratings from charity watchdog groups in the process.”

And if you believe the scrutiny claim, I have a creampuff of a car to sell you.

Like Monica's blue dress, it's time for the Clintons to come clean.
