Ignorance of the law is no defense for the peasants, but it is for the apparatchiks.

” ‘I think you can rely on common sense—’”

Is that the same common sense that led you not to look at or save the back up tape?

And the sob is smirking because he knows full well that nothing , other than a few tongue lashings will become of this. In other words, he will not be prosecuted, imprisoned, or fired. And each time my blood pressure skyrockets and I see red, I have to remind myself, this is what a majority of voters voted for in 2008. And as the great, all knowing, sage from AZ, the darling of the citizens of AZ, so eloquently stated, The Country has nothing to fear from an Obama Administration”. Or words to that effect. Along with the thought of this is what the majority of those that voted said, by way of their votes, they wanted. Then tranquility sets in. And I reflect, how could I have such unkind thoughts about the messiah the people who vote and live in the United States. I deliberately did not use the term “American” because no American voted for Obama.

I just wish that Gowdy or someone had asked him point blank: “Is it your sworn testimony that the lost e-mails contained no communication between Lois Lerner and the White House regarding the improper targeting of conservatives by the IRS?”

Obviously, he can make no such claim, yet he implied it with his parroting of the “no evidence” Democrat talking point, so making him acknowledge that would be worth seeing.

I dont understand the no evidence about the WH.

First of all, who at the IRS has read all the emails they have found to determine that?

Second, what about the missing emails?

Third, did the WH tell him there was no evidence?

Issa’s questioning about the thumb drive was interesting.

If I was Lois Lerner I would have downloaded those emails onto a thumb drive for my protection.

Where are the young Sam Donaldson’s?

They're too busy licking Obama's boots to do any real investigating

and he had some stupid laughable comment about giving up practicing law for Lent

Yes it's disgusting that these criminals do not fear their actions and spit in our faces with ridicule... "whatcha gonna do about it wimpy?" They ARE the mob.

They are sowing the seeds of their own demise. It will be good when it comes.

John Koskinen says he didn’t tell anyone about missing emails because he was advised not to tell anyone. Who advised him?

Almost unnoticed, this will be a major break if anyone on the committee [Gowdy] notices.

Of course he said that. Read back his testimony and get him on record one way or another.

IMO the committee has more than they’re letting on.

“I didn’t tell anybody,” Koskinen told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. “I was advised. I had no one I was going to tell.”
