This strange conspiracy theory keeps going further into crazyland.
First it was "157 visits!". TinyDancer is still spouting that nutty claim with her graphs. Then that got debunked, by simply checking the sign-in logs instead of the clearance logs, since clearances are done routinely for optional-attendance meetings. The sign-ins showed it was actually 11 visits by Schuman, most of those in the office building adjacent to the White House. Schuman only had one single face-time meeting with Obama, in 2009.

So, since the "157 visits" thing fell flat, they've moved to this new strange claim, that the visits were all "campaign meetings", even though the records show no such meetings. The current conspiracy "logic" is that an Obama campaign manager was one of many people attending the meetings, therefore they had to be "campaign meetings". The thought that a campaign manager might attend a tax policy meeting to stay informed simply never crosses their minds.
Naturally, I don't expect things like evidence and logic to penetrate the skulls of the conspiracy crowd here. They're in their separate reality bubble, they like it there, and they're not coming out.
