All of this, ALL OF THIS, is to avoid sunlight upon the reality it was the DOJ who initiated the targeting scheme, and used the IRS to get it done. In addition the White House fully knew what Eric Holder was doing.
(Via Judicial Watch) Judicial Watch announced today that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) admitted to the court that it failed to search any of the IRS standard computer systems for the missing emails of Lois Lerner and other IRS officials.
The admission appears in an IRS legal brief opposing the Judicial Watch request that a federal court judge allow discovery into how lost and/or destroyed IRS records relating to the targeting of conservative groups may be retrieved.
The IRS is fighting Judicial Watchs efforts to force testimony and document production about the IRS loss of records in Judicial Watchs Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) litigation about the IRS targeting of Tea Party and other opponents of President Obama(Judicial Watch v. IRS (No. 1:13-cv-1559)). The lawsuit is before U.S. District Court Judge Emmett G. Sullivan

wasn’t there a judge’s order involved here? Isn’t that perjury?
I did hear Mitch say last night that the IRS investigation would continue.
They were ordered by a court and they didn’t even look????
Slammer time!
Who was led out in handcuffs?
I know, I know, dumb question.
Line them up and slap all of their dirty faces, while yelling “Fools!”, Three Stooges Style.
I think they did a document dump on Friday
Later on in the article:
“Judicial Watch lawyers reviewed the IRS court filings and concluded that the agency did not undertake any significant efforts to obtain the emails.
IRS attorneys conceded that they had failed to search the agencys servers for missing emails because they decided that the servers would not result in the recovery of any information. They admitted they had failed to search the agencys disaster recovery tapes because they had no reason to believe that the tapes are a potential source of recovering the missing emails. And they conceded that they had not searched the government-wide back-up system because they had no reason to believe such a system even exists.
Good! It’s about time the court sees what the American public has to deal with non-stop.
How do you like it your honor?
Well we don’t either!!!
It’s time that Barry, Holder and Lerner were frogmarched out of the White House in handcuffs.
Judge Sullivan’s delay will show the DC circuit
impotent ... or on the take.
He probably just wants to give them a few new ideas.
Technically it’s contempt.
If I remember my Perry Mason training right it is contempt of court. If you are ordered to do something and you do not do it I think you can be held in contempt. But I’m no lawyer.
If you then lie about what happened under oath it is also perjury. So I guess saying they were lost when they were not even looked for would fall under both of those categories.
Their yearly budget is over $11 billion and since 2010 they spend over ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS on **FURNITURE**.
WHAT will it take to get their attention?
Good grief....
