The Whistleblower Remembers

This Afternoon at the Conservative Agenda’s Political Insiders Lunch, with the Countdown Clock on the front page of the Whistleblower Web Page still showing 31 more days until the Speaker of the House Formerly Known As Boehner’s last day of caving in to Obama and the Disingenuous DemocRATS, Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane was recalling that Tax Reform Town Hall at Sycamore High School on November 15, 1997, when four Greater Cincinnati Republican Congressmen (Rob “Fighting for Fame and Fortune” Portman (OH1), Steve Chabothead (OH2), Butler County Be-sweatered Back-bencher John Boehner (OH3), and Northern Kentucky’s “BeanBall Jim” Bunning) heard from citizens about the problems with the Internal Revenue Service and the Tax Code itself.  

(You can see that entire Town Hall Meeting HERE.)

         After the meeting, our Beloved Whistleblower Publisher asked John Boehner what it would take for Congress actually to change the Tax Code.

“If voters really wanted Congress to change the Tax Code we’d change it in a minute,” Boehner claimed. “But outside of people who show up at a town hall like this, Americans really don’t want us to change.”

“So what did you say next,” one of the Political Insiders asked Kane.

“That was probably the first time in my life I ever said, ‘What the Fuck!’ ” Kane replied.

So if, in the words of Marge Schott, you believe John Boehner “was good in the beginning but just went too far,” think again, as this Judicial Watch Statement on Boehner’s Resignation will clearly show:

            (Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton made the following statement regarding the resignation of House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-OH):

John Boehner’s willingness to fund rather than oppose Barack Obama’s lawlessness is a chief reason for his forced resignation from his position as speaker of the House.   It is no small issue that, during Boehner’s tenure, Judicial Watch is widely acknowledged to have been performing the oversight that is the job of Congress.  We’ve heard from many members of the House who are embarrassed that its committees and oversight have become a joke under Speaker Boehner.  Judicial Watch has had more success investigating the IRS, Benghazi, and Clinton email scandals than any House committee under Boehner’s direction. 

And the House simply could not stand for John Boehner to allow the funding of the very things he told the American people that House leadership opposed.   Corruption in government grew under Speaker Boehner’s watch.

The House, Republicans and DemocRATS alike, should take the pending leadership change as an opportunity to restore the House of Representatives to its preeminent role as defined under the U.S. Constitution.  A reform and restoration agenda for the House should be the priority of any new speaker and leadership team.  It is time to commit to combatting government corruption; time to focus on effective and serious oversight and accountability of an out-of-control federal government; time to end the DC transparency crisis; and time to restore constitutional governance and the rule of law.  The elected despotism that the Founding Fathers warned about must end.
