“Well, the perps have enshrined their lies under oath and in iron now.”
The initial claim that Lerner’s hard drive crashed was too convenient to be believable. I’m astounded that so many news organizations swallowed this hook, line, and sinker, and continue the charade.
Now the IRS has had to double down on the first lie, and somehow pull out all of the stops to keep the smokescreen intact.
We used to have serious news agencies that would serve as our watchdogs against government overreach and creeping tyranny. When they do nothing more than further the administration’s propaganda, it falls to the people to hold our alleged leader’s feet to the fire.
How to accomplish this effectively without massive civil unrest is the problem.
you are exactly right
actually, the only account the IRS gave was a full account of her hard drive, not the e-mails
Not necessarily. She might have used her Blackberry to read email as well as her laptop or desktop computer. And if she used a portable computer, and took it with her, she'd have access to her email wherever she happened to be.
As another poster pointed out, its time for someone from the IRS IT department to testify regarding the architecture of their email system, their backup procedures, and how they met their legal requirement to maintain archival copies of emails.
Yes I know it's been said before.
But flip the coin, file your taxes and claim that since your computer crashed, and you just can't find the data, I guess that I owe NOTHING.
That's the equivalent.
In fact, kick it up a notch.
Hi, Rush Limbaugh here.
Couldn't find out how much I made last year.
Guess the IRS is $hit out of luck, huh?
So sorry!
Cue the wah-wahhh trombone sound.
If that's good enough for the IRS, WHY isn't it "good enough" for citizens?
Does ANYONE think for a second that they wouldn't be put in jail?
What you wrote is true. I'd like to add one thing. I have the ability to VPN to my office computer from my company-issued laptop. When I do, I am only using the laptop as an interface device to my office desktop. If I save files, I'm really saving them to my office desktop, not the laptop I'm using. If I lose my laptop, I lose nothing work-related. It's all on the company server (or, if I'm reckless, on the C: drive of my office desktop).
Saving sensitive files to a laptop is stupid. Laptops get stolen or lost.
Congress and the Courts need to get Lerner's desktop -- assuming its hard drive didn't crash like all the other hard drives at the IRS.
The lefties figure their low information voters don’t anything. How many of them can even read?
Only 25% of students in our large cities graduate high school. The graduates read at an average 4th grade level.
Have plenty of "grains of salt" at the ready....preferably a whole box of Morton's
Koskinen said the email was stored on a disaster recovery tape and that it was “too difficult” to retrieve those emails, he thought they didn’t even try.
Agreed Miss Boop. That’s why these IRS mind games revolt me.
Infuriating to the nth degree.
(BTW, I'm a guy) :)
