Don't blame the IRS. They are just following Hillary's lead. They know nothing is going to happen to her so why should they be singled out.

Leading members of Congress are ripping IRS officials for erasing a computer hard drive after a federal judge ordered it to be preserved.
“The destruction of evidence subject to preservation orders and subpoenas has been an ongoing problem under your leadership at the IRS,†Committee on House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Jason Chaffetz and Rep. Jim Jordan , wrote in a letter to IRS Commissioner John Koskinen late Thursday.
“It is stunning to see that the IRS does not take reasonable care to preserve documents that it is legally required to protect,†Chaffetz, a Utah Republican, and Jordan, an Ohio Republican, said in the letter to Koskinen.
The IRS recently admitted in court to erasing the hard drive even though a federal judge had issued a preservation related to a Microsoft Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the federal tax agency last year, according to court documents. Microsoft accuses the IRS of inappropriately hiring an outside law firm to audit it and of failing to hand over related documents requested under the FOIA.
Chaffetz and other members of the oversight panel began calling for Koskinen’s impeachment in October. Chaffetz and Jordan in their letter point out that the IRS in March 2014 also destroyed 422 backup tapes containing as many as 24,000 emails sent or received by Lois Lerner, former director of IRS’ Exempt Organizations Division.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Kicking ass, those two!
Lets see if the federal judge has a pair.
Surprise, surprise... There is NO surprise here!
Don't blame the IRS. They are just following Hillary's lead. They know nothing is going to happen to her so why should they be singled out.
“Lets see if the federal judge has a pair.”
Agreed.
Any federal judge worth his/her salt should be enraged that their explicit instructions were not followed.
wow
Was it a sternly worded letter? Or was it the letter they write threatening to write a sternly worded letter? These nuances are very important in DC...
agreed
The trained monkey has NO intentions of turning over any hard drives!
They erupted, but so far no one has seen any lava.
And Nixon a Rep resigned for swat...not a single damn thing even near as bad or despicable in comparison to all of these crooks and criminal and liars in the obama cesspool. He has taken this whole country and its morals and standards to hell just like what occurs in our schools when they are integrated with hoodlums and sub-lowlifes...to the bottom. America WAS a great country until Johnson started us down hill and obama the first one of whatever he is and multiplied our demise by a factor of a 1000!
I think we are all so very sick of the faux outrage. Just damn.
“Chaffetz and other members of the oversight panel began calling for Koskinen’s impeachment in October.”
Impeachment isn’t enough for what this guy, AND HIS POLITICAL PARTY (DEMOCRATS) HAVE DONE to the credibility of our government. It’s our move now, and we better see to it our elected officials do as we want them to.
Impeach, indict, and imprison not only Koskinen.
OMG THEY ERUPTED!?
Like a volcano!?
Is there a pyroclastic flow we should be aware!?
This really scary! Mount GOPE is mad!
SHUT OFF THE F**KING $$$$$$$$!
Funny isn’t it. Everyone is Outraged but nothing happens to these people.
