Scandal: The president’s deputy campaign manager attended the “nonpolitical” ObamaCare implementation meetings with the former IRS commissioner at the White House. She wasn’t there to discuss the Easter Egg Roll.
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?
Cutter became Obama’s deputy campaign manager in September 2011. Shulman, a Democratic donor, was IRS commissioner from March 24, 2008, to November 9, 2012. Cutter was an Obama attack dog during the 2012 campaign.
