As you’re no doubt aware by now,
Republicans need to pick up a net of six seats in the Senate in order to take
control of the upper chamber and dethrone Harry Reid from his post as Majority
Leader. One of the Senate seats surprisingly in play is in New Hampshire, where
Republican Scott Brown is trying to oust incumbent Democrat Jeanne Shaheen.
And now, with the potentially
incriminating evidence against Sen. Shaheen that the Daily Caller has dug up,
the outcome of today’s election in New Hampshire could be affected…and not in
Shaheen’s favor.
In a post by political reporter Patrick
Howley, the Daily Caller presents evidence that Shaheen was intimately and
actively involved in the IRS targeting scandal. The article reveals that Sen.
Shaheen participated:
…in a plot with Lois Lerner and
President Barack Obama’s political appointee at the IRS to lead a program of
harassment against conservative nonprofit groups during the 2012 election,
according to letters exclusively obtained by The Daily Caller.
According to the Daily Caller post,
Shaheen was regularly provided with insider info from the Internal Revenue
Service related to their intense focus on the political activities of
conservative groups, making it apparent she was a key contact in a group
composed of six Democratic Senate colleagues including Chuck Schumer and Al
Franken.
A Freedom of Information Act request
from a major conservative super PAC specifically identified “Jeanne Shaheen” as
its Freedom of Information Act search term on the IRS scandal (and in
Washington, folks, if YOUR NAME is the search term that the conservative super
PAC uses in its bid to get public information, then you just might be involved
in something).
A Reuters article early on this
election day cites polls that show a dead heat between Shaheen, a first-term
senator and former governor, and Scott Brown, who had been a little-known state
legislator before his surprise 2010 win in the race for the U.S. Senate in
Massachusetts.
Brown lost his first re-election bid to
Elizabeth Warren in 2012 and moved to New Hampshire early this year. He has
sought to tie Sen. Shaheen closely to President Obama, who is unpopular in this
state; and this last-minute IRS scandal revelation as voters head to the polls
could help him do just that.

Harry Reid is now irrelevant; once the new senate is seated.. But I could live with seeing him in an orange jump suit.
