The Department of Justice may indict South Carolina Republican Gov. Nikki Haley on charges of tax fraud, according to the Palmetto Public Record, a South Carolina political blog. PPR reported that a “highly ranked” federal government official “privately confirmed rumblings of an investigation” and the “possible indictment of the governor.” The report said the official, however, could not provide a specific time frame.
Haley spokesman Rob Godfrey told The Daily Caller on Thursday that ”[i]t’s sad in this day and age when anyone can post un-sourced nonsense on blogs and the mainstream media runs with it.”
“No truth to this whatsoever — it’s as real as the tooth fairy.”
But PPR reported that two “well-placed legal experts” said the DOJ indictment could come as early as next week. The alleged tax fraud reportedly occurred during Haley’s time managing finances for the Sikh worship center in South Carolina run by her father, Dr. Ajit Singh Randhawa.THIS AMOUNTS TO WAR ON WOMEN, WAR ON RELIGION, WAR ON THE TEA PARTY, AND WAR ON THE GOP.
HALEY WAS ON MITT'S SHORT LIST FOR VEEP.
SIKHS EVERYWHERE SHOULD SEE THIS AS AN ATTACK.
UPDATE: SISTER TOLDJAH:
MSM propaganda and the advantages of incumbency aside, Barack Obama has a tough road to reelection. And he does have a history of using “hardball means” to knock opponents out of contention. Ask all those he got disqualified from the ballot during his state senate run in Illinois, including his mentor, Alice Palmer. And ask yourself (or maybe David Axelrod) how Jack Ryan’s supposedly sealed divorce records got released during the 2004 US senate race, derailing his campaign and leaving Obama to face… Alan Keyes.
If that’s dismissible as ancient history, consider recent years in which Obama allies have gone after his vocal opponents: the campaign in Alaska against Sarah Palin in 2009, then thought to be his likely rival in 2012, leading her to resign the governor’s office (I’m sure this had at least moral support from Camp Obama); the recent coordinated-by-MMFAcampaign to silence Rush Limbaugh (with Palin (again) and Sean Hannity in the crosshairs); or the on-and-off White House war on FOX News in general.
“But that’s different,” you say. “Those all were just dirty politics; this is a possible criminal matter.” Well, it’s not as if presidents haven’t abused the powers of the IRS in the past, and Obama has brought the subject up before…
So, doesn’t it seem just a bit convenient that, just as Romney starts to look like he really is going to be the nominee, one of his likely VP picks suddenly faces potential legal troubles? Possibly take a card out of his deck (2), maybe even stain him a bit with her troubles? Keep in mind, Obama earned his chops in the fetid swamp of Illinois politics, the state which Sun-Times columnist Carol Marin called the “Land of Coincidence.” (See also)
Is reliapundit fuggin' high? This is 'war' on women, religion and/or the teaparty?
ReplyDeleteI mean it couldn't be a simple case of political skullduggery could it?
Whatever, if you people insist on flopping around like a spastic chicken when you hear something you don't like, there's really not much I can do about.
Anyway, just thought I'd point out that our side really doesn't go in for shark tank jumpin'.
north or south?
ReplyDeleteer um wake up burritohead:
ReplyDelete"the war on..." comments were spoofs on the left which uses those exact terms.
but the gist remains: the indictment of haley is political. juts as dropping the indictments against the nbbp was political.
everything holder does is political.
announcing the ksm nyc trial was political.
