Ben Carson: Obama officials 'acting like Gestapo'
'We're dealing with an extremely corrupt administration'
WASHINGTON
– Dr. Ben Carson, the brain surgeon turned popular political analyst, told WND
Obama administration officials are “acting like the Gestapo” with the Justice
Department indictment of Dinesh D’Souza coupled with the Internal Revenue
Service’s political targeting of the administration’s critics.
“I believe
we are dealing with an extremely corrupt administration,” he said.
Dr. Carson
himself became the subject of an IRS audit after criticizing Barack Obama’s
policies at the annual National Prayer Breakfast in Washington last year.
“I’ve always
been someone who has been very careful about my finances and the way I take
care of my business,” said Dr. Carson. “I’ve never undergone this kind of
scrutiny before, but then it comes after the prayer breakfast. They’re
harassing my family. They’re harassing my colleagues. And they’re not finding
anything – so that just makes them dig a little deeper.”
In a
telephone interview today, Dr. Carson, who is talked about as a potential new
brand of non-politician presidential candidate himself in 2016, said he was
also disturbed by Obama’s comments in an interview with Fox News Channel’s Bill
O’Reilly before the Super Bowl game last week.
“What he
said was that his administration was not guilty of any wrongdoing with regard
to the IRS and he blamed Fox News for reporting it,” Dr. Carson said. “I don’t
think he would be happy unless Fox News were shut down and there was no more
criticism of his actions.”
D’Souza
was one of Obama’s most visible critics in the 2012 election year when he
released the extremely popular documentary “2016: Obama’s America .”
D’Souza
was indicted by a federal grand jury on two felony counts for violating
campaign finance laws. He was charged with making false
statements to the Federal Election Commission and illegally contributing
$15,000 to a Senate candidate. He could face up to seven years in prison.
Cleta
Mitchell, an attorney specializing in campaign finance issues, told WND, “The
decision to prosecute – or not prosecute – is always a matter of discretion. It
was the prosecutor’s decision – indeed DOJ’s decision – not to prosecute
widespread conduit contributions to the John Edwards campaign in 2008. Contrast
that with this prosecution, which involved $15,000 (not $20,000 as claimed).”
Asked
whether she believes the indictment was politically motivated, Mitchell said,
“Do I think this is politically motivated? I think if a Republican appointee
had done this, the press corps would be going ballistic. Just consider how
outraged they were when Bush asked for and received resignations of all U.S. attorney appointees at the start of his second term, something that is
customary. Imagine if his appointee had gone after a George Soros friend.
Imagine the outrage.”
Brent
Bozell, founder and president of Media Research
Center , cited former President Bill Clinton and Obama’s own
history of accepting highly questionable campaign donations.
“Let’s
assume Dinesh D’Souza is guilty, and I mean 100 percent guilty. What is he
guilty of? Circumventing FEC dictates by directing [$15,000] to a Senate
candidate of his choice. Big deal,” Bozell told WND. “First, in a multi-million
Senate campaign, this is a fraction of a fraction. It ‘buys’ a can of soda pop,
and that’s about it. Second, and more importantly, compare this ‘crime’ with
Bill Clinton, who raised millions of dollars from questionable at best, and
illegal at worst, sources, including felons and Chinese Communist generals.
Compare it to Barack Obama, who raised millions upon millions from
who-knows-who-or-where to this day. Nothing ever came of their fundraising
abuses, abuses one thousandfold larger than anything attributed to D’Souza. And
yet he was arrested and forced to post a $500,000 bond. It is astonishing.
Given all the other abuses of power swirling around this administration, so
many of them finding their origins in the ‘Justice’ Department, do I see
deliberate persecution against conservatives? I am not conspiratorial by
nature, but I will say unequivocally, you better believe it.”
Rep.
Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., called the D’Souza indictment “100 percent”
political.
“Of course
it is,” she said. “It is payback from the DOJ. Plus, it sends a signal to
anyone else for 2016 who may be thinking of producing a movie. It is up to the
candidate to return the money. This should have been found when the FEC filing
occurred. I don’t know the details, but this could cost Dinesh literally
millions in legal defense fees, plus destroying his name and making him toxic
to conservatives and Republicans. These are the goals of the political
destruction machine at the DOJ.”
Likewise,
Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, told WND, “Yes, I think it is political. It fits
a pattern of abuse of power. As someone else said, President Obama is the
president Nixon wanted to be.”
