This afternoon The Gateway Pundit spoke with Henry Kerner.
Henry told us the report is inaccurate. The Tea Party targeting occurred before the 2012 election and the report in question by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations was published in September 2014. Henry’s name and Senator McCain’s name were on the report but the Republican minority at the time refused to sign Carl Levin’s report and released a report of their own.
Henry worked for Rep. Darrell Issa and was a member of the Harvard Republican club. Henry currently serves as head of the Office of Special Counsel.
Henry disputes this week’s reports. He says the IRS targeting scandal was strictly a Democrat endeavor.
Henry Kerner agreed with The Gateway Pundit that Judicial Watch is an excellent organization.
