A federal judge on Thursday ordered the IRS to explain under oath how it lost a trove of emails to and from a central figure in the agency's tea party controversy.

I guess that they’ll ask for a delay or a continuance and dump the docs before the Labor day weekend.. either that or “emailz? my dog eated them...”

So... Who exactly are they going to find who will stand and be the ‘suicide monkey’ to TRY and protect the agency?

What size Army do you have Judge? Maybe you need to remember the words of FDR.

I think that was Andrew Jackson after he lost to the Supremes over the trail of tears

He said something like .... now let them enforce it ... how many troups does the SC have

How'd that work out for the Cherokee Nation?

Ohhh nooo,
Boehner said obammy will NOT be impeached.
Guess this lying punk ass poser will not get the boot regardless of his lawlessness.

Expert in discovery... hope he is good.

The Court system has tools and powers that Congress can only dream of...

Hey Lois, your bullsh*t lies are coming to an end...

So, what can the judge do, when they either don’t do it, or lie through their teeth?

Thanks. Looks like just the guy:

“Judge Facciola is a frequent lecturer and speaker on the topic of electronic discovery.”

[libstripper]

Lots. He can hold them in civil contempt, fine them,and send them to jail. A Federal District Judge, in his own courtroom, is one of the most dangerous, powerful people in the world.

The janitor did it.

How long you figure before Judge Emmet Sullivan gets audited by IRS?

Hmmm, did the IRS learn from UK's Guardian or did the Guardian learn from the IRS? This tidbit was in a Yahoo news article about Snowden and the NSA but could easily have been about certain parties in the IRS and their emails: http://news.yahoo.com/us-given-heads-newspaper-data-destruction-080151705--politics.html:

"The Guardian's editors spent three hours destroying hard drives and memory cards with drills and angle grinders. Two GCHQ staffers stood by as Guardian staff fed crushed bits of computer into a degausser, a microwave-like device intended to irreversibly erase data."

[GOPJ]

Judges have the power to put people in jail if they lie under oath or refuse to give information.

That’s what they can do... and that’s what’s going to happen.

[GOPJ]

Ever hear of ‘contempt of court’?

[libstripper]

Maybe not. Curious thing; he’s a Clinton appointee and the Clintons and Obamas currently seem to be in a blood feud. If so, he might be the Clintons’ designated hatchet man.
