Investigators find 32,000 emails in IRS probe

Investigators said Thursday they have recovered 32,000 emails related to a former IRS official at the heart of the agency’s tea party scandal.

But they don’t know how many of them are new.

The emails were to and from Lois Lerner, who used to head the IRS division that processes applications for tax-exempt status. Last June, the IRS told Congress it had lost an unknown number of Lerner’s emails when her computer hard drive crashed in 2011.

At the time, IRS officials said the emails could not be recovered. But at a congressional hearing Thursday evening, investigators said they recovered thousands of emails from old computer tapes used to back up the agency’s email system. …

They “found” these because somewhere an IT person or two decided they didn’t want to go to prison on an obstruction charge for the fascists. Keep the pressure on, it is long past time this cesspool known as the obama administration was cleaned out. They have more people deserving of serious jail time than any administration in history.

I suspect if it happens that enough evidence is uncovered to put the bitch in jail that she will be “Fuddied”. She knows too much and they can’t have her cutting a deal that could implicate The Magic Negro. She’ll go to the cemetery long before she goes to jail.

I had no idea .. thanks for this information.

So .. I guess Wisc better get busy and find a good replacement .. or otherwise the left will creep back into office .. and we’ll be even worse off.

“That’s the way they want you to think”

Well that’s partly true. But it’s also true that Obama has not been impeached, Holder and Lerner and all the other crooks are not on trial or in jail. Someone’s always saying so-and-so is on trouble NOW! Recently - Sharpton is going down NOW! But it doesn’t happen. They resign occasionally, drop into obscurity for awhile. That’s about it. Sigh.

Impeachment rules would require Democrats to be on board with a trial and conviction in the Senate.

The Declaration of Independence does say that the people have the right to alter or abolish a government that attacks freedom.

The GOP establishment would have to abandon liberalism to grow a set, as it were. However, they are true UniPartyists and prefer one-party rule.

Feingold in standing backstage:( Rumor is either he will run against Johnson or for governor. I’ve also heard rumors that Paul Ryan wants to run for governor. My fear is that if Walker becomes president WI will go back to the dems.

I can’t think of anyone off hand that would be a good solid replacement for Walker.

I can see Ryan wanting to run for Gov .. as a way for him to enter the Presidential race.

He’s a nice guy .. but I’m not sure he’s strong enough to take on what Walker did.

I agree with your concern about losing Wisc if Walker wins the nomination.

There’s nothing more exciting than to yell at congress. And if they get feisty, you can always tell them .. HEY, you work for me .. not yourself .. or any political party.

Democrats never crack. There are no John Deans out there waiting to name names. They would be quickly silenced.
