IRS TURNS CLINTON'S SCREW
By Ann Coulter
Juanita Broaddrick, whom about 80 percent of Americans believed
when she accused President Clinton of raping her (how do you like
that poll?), is being audited by the Internal Revenue Service.
Maybe it's just the luck of the draw. It has to be admitted, the
odds of the IRS randomly auditing a woman Clinton has tried to
have sex with are not insubstantial. (Though only about a
half-dozen women have publicly accused Clinton of making sexual
advances toward them, Clinton told Monica Lewinsky that he'd had
sex with hundreds of women, which is why he couldn't settle the
Paula Jones case.)
So in the abstract, it could be a coincidence. Except this is not
in the abstract. It's in the Clinton administration. And under
Clinton, the IRS has audited a mathematically improbable series
of the president's critics.
Indeed, the IRS' random audit selection process has led to audits
of an impressive array of citizens inconvenient to the
administration. These include: Elizabeth Ward Gracen (Clinton
conquest who helpfully admitted that Clinton did not rape her);
Billy Dale (fired in travel office imbroglio); Bill O'Reilly
(Clinton critic on Fox News channel); Kent Masterson Brown
(brought lawsuit compelling Hillary's health care task force to
reveal members); Paula Jones (wrecked Clinton presidency).
Paula Jones got her audit letter from the IRS not long after she
beat Clinton in the Supreme Court. Though Jones' victory had
forced Clinton to the negotiating table, the talks had deadlocked
over Clinton's abject refusal to apologize. Just a few weeks
later, the IRS initiated its audit. Jones' income at the time
consisted of her husband's $37,000 a year salary -- the least
audited tax bracket. But somehow Jones beat the odds and got
herself audited.
Clinton's IRS has also audited almost every conservative
organization you can name. Among them are: National Review, The
American Spectator, The Christian Coalition, Citizens for a Sound
Economy, Oliver North's Freedom Alliance, The Heritage
Foundation, The National Rifle Association, The Western
Journalism Center, The National Center for Public Policy
Research, Fortress America and Citizens Against Government Waste.
There may be still other conservative organizations that have
been targeted by Clinton's IRS, of course. There is no public
record of IRS audits, and organizations that survive on
charitable contributions tend not to advertise the fact that the
IRS is rifling through their books.
If you think you've heard this before, you are probably the proud
owner of my book "High Crimes and Misdemeanors," which details
the series of highly suspect audits of Clinton's enemies, a.k.a.
"witnesses," through 1998. Though my book came out almost two
years ago, it remains an excellent resource for following all
current scandals. Like a movie reel that keeps going around and
around again, the last years of the Clinton administration keep
belching out the same abuses of power, the same indignant
protestations of innocence, and the same overheated charges of
partisanship. Same modus operandi, new victims.
Of course, the politicization of the IRS is a difficult charge to
prove to the satisfaction of say, Lanny Davis. This sort of thing
tends not to be memorialized in handwritten notes from the
president along the lines of: "Dear IRS Commissioner, Please
audit my enemies. Love, Bill." But at some point, the laws of
probability just can't explain it. Moreover, there were two
rather remarkable smoking guns surrounding the audit of Billy
Dale, ousted head of the White House Travel Office.
First, White House Associate Counsel William Kennedy baldly
informed the FBI that he intended to use the IRS to put the
screws on Dale -- after being rebuffed in his attempt to have the
FBI do the same. Kennedy had called the FBI to demand an
investigation of the White House Travel Office as part of a
fishing expedition to substantiate the administration's claim
that the fired employees were criminals. But since the FBI is
really not supposed to be randomly investigating American
citizens whenever Clinton needs to smear them, Kennedy's demand
was met with some resistance.
When the FBI agent who took Kennedy's call explained that the FBI
needed some basis to investigate, Kennedy became more insistent.
According to the agent, Kennedy demanded that the FBI initiate an
investigation in 15 minutes -- or he'd call in the IRS. That is
according to the White House's own internal memo investigating
the White House Travel Office firings.
Second, congressional investigators looking into the White House
Travel Office firings discovered a memo about Billy Dale in which
the same William Kennedy was quoted saying IRS Commissioner
Margaret Milner Richardson was "on top of it." The memo was
written by White House lawyers summarizing Kennedy's remarks
about the travel office firings.
So, like I say, Broaddrick's audit looks innocent only if
completely abstracted from everything we know about Clinton.
