The EPA is poised to “do an IRS” — similar to what the tax agency had to do with dismissed top official Lois G. Lerner — and officially notify the National Archives that it may have lost key electronic records, according to a think tank that’s suing to get text messages under an open-records request.
Justice Department lawyers told a federal court on Tuesday that the alert will be coming soon, in a case that’s shaping up as a significant battle over whether government agencies are required to keep cellphone text messages as “official” records.
In this case, researcher Chris Horner and the Competitive Enterprise Institute are trying to get a peek at Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy’s text messages, believing that she switched from emails to texting in order to talk about the agency’s controversial plans to crack down on coal power plants.

True signs of death throes of an institution:
When The deptartment of justice practices obstruction of justice.
Somebody needs being made an example of. As a warning to others.
Whole lot of prison time stacking up if adults ever get control of the government again.
The outgoing Obama administration will have a VERY VERY LONG pardon list.
The "outgoing" thingy may be an erroneous assumption.
It is against the law to destroy government documents. Every administrator of government documents that can’t be located should be jailed.
We have allowed a criminal government to prevail, “We The People” have a mandate to overthrow a corrupt, criminal gov’t, we have failed to respond in the protection of our Free Republic, so forget about it, it’s too late now, we have succumbed, opting to take a consistently failed political approach in defeating our criminal, corrupt communist captures.
Is Anybody clean inthis obammy administration orare they ALL
Criminal dirtbags?.
It can’t be contempt of congress, because Hussein hasn’t declared them back from recess yet!
This reminds me of my psychotic aunt who accused my uncle of hacking into her phone and changing the timestamps on her text messages in front of a judge during their divorce proceedings. I was almost kicked out of the gallery for laughing.
Classic MO of a community organizer in charge.
The most transparent administration in history.
Nah. After the election, this will never be mentioned again.
Another lie by the most opaque administration in my life. Another talking point for the Pubbies if they had the cojones and were still conservative. They have SO much ammunition against the Dims that it's hard to keep track. Believe much of it could last until 2016 providing we get a true conservative nominee and he's willing to take the gloves off.
Saw a comprehensive list a few months ago of all the lies, parsing, spinning, and stonewalling regarding all the scandals of Obambi's administration. Wish I could find it. Clinton was a piker compared to Obambi and Clinton was pretty bad.
Everyone nowadays likes to badmouth Newt because he sat on a couch with Pelosi (bad move and forgot the issue). However, because of his leadership, he forced Clinton to change welfare and many other of Billy-boy's policies. Hell, he shut down Hillary's socialist medicine attempts. Of course he had the House majority which was not the case with ObambiCare. Talk about non-transparent. The Republicans didn't have any say and the whole thing was passed in the dead of night behind closed doors. End rant.
There, fixed it.
The text messages are with Lois Lerner’s emails
