In my opinion, the misuse of the IRS is by far the most serious of the series of travesties of justice by the Obama administration. Using agencies of the government to subvert the opposition certainly rises to felony level for all involved. Unfortunately there is little legitimate investigative journalism in the government sponsored media. This is a consequence of allowing the left control of journalism education.
Thank you.
The failure of the Fifth Estate could have been offset by an aggressive opposition party.
Why this has not become a Congressional investigation that sticks, could be because we need the midterms to get the foundation to make it happen.
I see a new vision coming soon....
It's far easier to concentrate our attention on a person, like Lerner, that it is to consider losing their prestige and appearance of influence.
2) I wish I were in a position to do so, regardless of whether I would do so.
3) I was contemplating challenging the sitting congressman until he announced he was going to retire. After 32 yrs in congress, that announcement brought out way too many other politicians with access to far more money than I could garner. And I don't have the option of not working for 6 months to campaign. There's a mortgage to pay and kids college bills to pay.
Also, they have the option of journaling the data (and with all the requirements they give businesses in the financial and other industries, you can be darn sure they should and probably are journaling the data), which sends a copy over to an archive as the user sends mail and before they get copies of their mail. That way, if the user deletes the data, a copy is still retained for legal purposes.
This is such a load of horse manure, it is unbelievable. Lyin', thievin' bastards.
I totally agree.
In the late 1990s the Roth hearings led to some reform of the IRS but never addressed the fundamental principles that taxpayers must be protected by the Bill of Rights. Everyone seems to assume that arbitrary power is somehow required for tax agencies and we can trust them to behave. That kind of extra constitutional tyranny has got to be stopped, but no one seems to care and no one is speaking out about it. This is a very dangerous trend.

The Dog Ate My E-Mails, for Two Years
IT experts and the IRS’s own manual note that backups of Lerner’s e-mails must exist.
By John Fund
Two excerpts:
"In March of this year, John Koskinen, the new IRS commissioner, testified before Congress that all the e-mails of IRS employees are “stored in servers.” The agency’s own manual specifies that it “provides for backup and recovery of records to protect against information loss or corruption.” The reason is simple. It is well known in legal and IT circles that failure to preserve e-mails can lead to a court ruling of “spoliation of evidence.” That means a judge or jury is then instructed to treat deletions as if they were deliberate destruction of incriminating evidence."
"Why is the loss of the Lerner e-mails particularly important? Last year’s report by the IRS inspector general set out a timeline of the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups. A full 16 of the 26 non-redacted events in the inspector general’s timeline took place during the period for which all of Lerner’s e-mails were “lost,” and these 16 instances refer to “e-mail” as the source for information on that event. As tax expert Alan Joel points out, much of the context about how the IRS scandal developed and who may have known about it is now “lost” in the black hole the Lerner e-mails are supposed to have been sucked into."
they must be relying on the "Holder" defense --
that the DoJ will protect them. maybe not. -- j
SURE the IRS accidentally lost those specifically requested emails!
SURE Lerner took the Fifth because she has nothing to hide!
SURE! SURE! SURE!
And you can surely bet that the IRS has not lost any tax information on all of us.
And never ever will . . .
abolish the IRS and establish an across-the-board
postcard tax return -- 3% of the money which you
have left after you pay for family security from the
feds!!! -- j
IRS scandal..got it. Lois Lerner lost all her e-mails to all the people outside of her department. Unbelievable. Pass the popcorn. I’m just waiting for Bagdad to fall.
Watch for a False Flag
Dear Leader needs to be impeached.
When will enough be enough?
"The IRS said Friday that technicians went to great lengths trying to recover data from Lerner's computer in 2011. In emails provided by the IRS, technicians said they sent the computer to a forensic lab run by the agency's criminal investigations unit. But to no avail."
Forensic lab couldn't recover data off hard drive crash?
If it was child porn or state secrets they'd find it. What's magic about e-mails. It is virtually impossible to remove data from a hard drive once written.
Last I heard the most secret gov't drives are sand blasted.
