Former IRS Commissioner visited WH more than twice as often as Eric Holder. “As IRS commissioner, he reported to Tim Geithner at Treasury, not anyone in the West Wing. Shulman, in fact, had more than three times as many visits to the White House as his nominal boss.” Well, Shulman can only remember going there to look for Easter eggs – the ones he found had “Do me a favor and screw the Tea Party, signed Barry” written inside.

This story turns out to be the product of shoddy investigating by The Daily Caller: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/05/the-fake-story-about-the-irs-commissioner-and-the-white-house/276399/
To sum it up: one, the IRS commissioner was cleared in advance for regular weekly meetings, which he didn't necessarily attend; two, they were mostly in the nearby executive office building, not in the White House with Obama; and three, cabinet members arrive by gov't limousine and don't have to sign in, which is why Holder's and Clinton's meetings LOOK LIKE they are so many fewer.
The Daily Caller owes us all and apology.
He had to visit often in order to lay the eggs.
But can you lay scrambled eggs?
I am sure they talked about sharing recipes and how the wives are doing and the kids plans for college and so on.
The big question is--did Shulman meet anyone from the Obama reelection committee on his visits to the White House?????????????????
He probably met with everyone from the janitor to King Obama himself. He was there like once a week for several years!
Obviously I can't prove it but I'm convinced that the Emperor directed the IRS actions, ordered the stand down (twice) in Benghazi or made himself unavailable to order a rescue/reinforcement, and conspired with Holder to go after the press. This is basic Marxist coup d'état stuff and it's all he really knows. He is a traitor and needs to be removed from office.
Lois Lerner is bad but Shulman is worse.
Lerner is an old hag who is pretty close to retiring now anyway. And they can't TOUCH her retirement. Even if she went to prison (which she would never anyway) she is set for life. My guess is that the retirement from her what? $280k-something a year job is going to be nice. Plus all the consulting work she will be picking up for being a team player, and protecting important people.
She'll be the fall guy. Sure. Why not? I just hope that she is not ALLOWED to be the fall guy. I hope Issa slaps her smug butt back into that room, and tells her to talk or change into the orange jumpsuit, because you gave up your right to shut up. Witch.
He had to show up in person for Quagmire's and Jarrett's hit lists, no paper trail that way.
Maybe he was like Bill Ayers, just a guy in the neighborhood who would stop by every now and then to shoot the breeze and plot how to take over the country.
