Opinion By Wayne Allyn Root
This is a shocking story that every American needs to read.
More importantly, this is a story that President Trump and whoever is his new Attorney General of the United States needs to study.
This is a massive Obama and Hillary criminal conspiracy case we’re handing you, wrapped in a bow, ready for prosecution.
I’ve got the whistleblower and witness for you. His name is Bradley Birkenfeld. And he’s not just any whistleblower.
Brad is single-handedly responsible for uncovering the largest and longest-running tax evasion in IRS history.
He’s also the only whistleblower in the history of America to recover $40 billion for the US Treasury and US taxpayers.
That’s more than all the IRS whistleblowers in American history COMBINED.
And because of that, President Trump, my great friend Brad Birkenfeld, is the most deserving candidate for a pardon in the history of presidential pardons. Hint, hint.
Get ready. Here’s his remarkable story.
Brad was a successful Swiss private banker with many of the wealthiest American businessmen and women as his clients. These wealthy Americans were hiding their money offshore, in Swiss banks, to evade U.S. taxes.
After resigning from his comfortable job at UBS in Switzerland, Brad made the decision to voluntarily walk into the DOJ in Washington, DC, to reveal the secret numbered bank accounts of 19,000 Americans hiding tens of billions of dollars at UBS in Switzerland.
It turns out that most of them were large donors to Obama, Hillary, and the Democrat Party.
In one remarkable act, Brad brought down the entire veil of hundreds of years of Swiss banking secrecy.
Do you remember who the leaders of America were back in 2009 when Brad was negotiating with the DOJ? President Obama, Vice President Biden, and Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State.
Brad naturally assumed he would be celebrated, thanked, and protected by the U.S. government for risking his life and giving up his lucrative banking career to help the US government collect tens of billions of dollars in stolen tax money.
Instead, the Obama Department of Justice persecuted and prosecuted Brad, putting him in prison for thirty months. Why would they do that?
To protect thousands of Democrat donors in these files of tax cheats. They didn’t want the files. They wanted to protect their big Democrat donors. They wanted to shut Brad up.
As a result of Brad’s testimony and evidence handed to the DOJ, not only was $40 billion recovered by the IRS, but 130 Swiss banks signed formal agreements and were fined by the US government to end their decades-long criminal conduct.
Three IRS amnesty programs were implemented, resulting in over 100,000 (and counting) US citizens now in tax compliance.
UBS agreed to a deferred prosecution agreement, paid a $780 million fine to the U.S. Treasury Dept. (a slap on the wrist to them), and agreed to release the names of only 4,700 American tax evaders. That’s out of 19,000 tax cheats on Brad’s file.
So, where did the other 14,300 names of tax cheats go? Obama sent Hillary Clinton to Switzerland to negotiate a deal with UBS to erase those names- and in return, Obama and Hillary gave UBS a sweetheart deal.
How evil and criminal was the Obama/Hillary cabal in Washington DC? On the very day my friend Brad was sent to prison (and remember, he is the hero who handed in these names of tax cheats), Obama was playing golf with the Chairman of UBS.
This is how crimes are covered up among friends in Washington DC.
Instead of making Brad a national hero, Obama’s DOJ forced Brad to accept one charge of conspiracy to commit tax fraud and put him in prison for 30 months. This was their way of shutting him up.
In all these years since my friend Brad exposed this massive criminal conspiracy and 19,000 tax cheats, the only person to go to prison is Brad Birkenfeld.
Hillary Clinton was sent to Switzerland to “negotiate” the deal with UBS. She made sure all the Democrat tax cheats’ names were erased from the infamous list Brad handed to the IRS. But Brad knows how many names were on the list- they were his clients.
I’m no lawyer, but this sure looks like proof of a massive crime and government conspiracy carried out by Obama and Hillary. And Brad is ready today to testify as a witness/whistleblower.
Once out of prison, Brad told his side of the story in the worldwide best-selling book: “Lucifer’s Banker Uncensored” published in eight languages- with the Foreword by Peter Schweizer exposing the ingrained corruption of Obama and Clinton.
It’s time to right a terrible injustice, Mr. President.
First, it’s time to call for a Special Counsel to prosecute Obama and Hillary for carrying out this massive criminal conspiracy.
Think about this for a moment…
Is it a crime to cover up the largest and longest-running tax evasion in IRS history? By any standard, that’s a clear-cut case of fraud.
Is it a crime to erase the names of 14,300 Democrat donors in a file of 19,000 tax cheats? By any standard, that’s a clear-cut case of fraud.
Is it a crime to only collect the $40 billion from GOP donors? Because not a dime was ever collected from the 14,300 Democrat donors. How could the IRS collect any money from Democrat tax cheats when their names were erased?
So, in effect, Obama and Hillary stole an estimated $100 billion from the US Treasury and U.S. taxpayers (you and me) by not going after the taxes owed by their cronies. Democrat donors got away with fraud. By any standard, that’s a clear-cut case of fraud.
Is it a crime to offer a sweetheart deal to UBS if they would agree to allow Hillary to erase 14,300 names from the files? By any standard, that’s a clear-cut case of fraud.
Finally, is it a crime to destroy the life of my friend Brad in order to silence him? You’re damn right it is.
Democrats put Brad in prison for the same reason they have now put Tina Peters in prison. To cover up their crimes. To silence witnesses. To send a message to future whistleblowers- if you report a crime by Democrats, we will destroy your life.
Finally, President Trump, please reward Bradley Birkenfeld with a Presidential Pardon in order to recognize that our US government, the DOJ, and the Obama Administration committed a terrible injustice when they put Brad Birkenfeld in prison. Brad is a hero, not a criminal.
There are many Americans worthy of a pardon, but no one in history has ever recovered $40 billion for the American people (and taxpayers).
Every American taxpayer owes a great debt of gratitude to Brad. 40 billion gratitudes- to be exact!
By the way, the IRS officially recognized Brad as the hero of this story. They designated him as a “whistleblower.” While Obama was persecuting Brad and putting him in prison, on the day Brad walked out of prison, he was handed a check from the IRS for $100 million dollars- his reward for the monies recovered.
Now that’s a happy ending!
But there is only one way to give this story the happy ending of all happy endings- send Obama and Hillary to prison.
