All good technical points, but that overlooks the political strategy. The statement is the beginning of a bogus executive privilege argument which will turn into a lawsuit which won’t be resolved until after the 2016 election.
Dems figure if they win in 2016, it won’t matter as ‘fundamental change’ will be complete. If they lose, they will be able to rely on the MSM to parrot a ‘let’s move on’ strategy. No question the ‘turn the other cheek’ Pubbies would fold in the latter case.
Arrest Obama/Jarret/Holder/Brennan.
Gone missing...kind of like Stanley Ann Dunham’s passport and immigration records.
obstruction of justice...
Right, if there is a system crash the in information is never lost.
In addition, if the computers got accidentally smashed with a hammer there would probably be 6 backup drives for redundancy since this is the government and they copy what big time businesses would do.
I agree and everyone involves knows this is total bullshit.
The "technical points" will destroy any political strategy. Issa and Camp should engage the most knowledgeable IT people in the country, outside and inside the government, to destroy this notion that the emails have been lost due to a computer crash. Emails are backed up every day, archived, and sent offsite. I worked for the federal government for 36 years. This claim of lost emails is preposterous and can be destroyed by the "technical points." No executive privilege or lawsuit can trump the "technical points" that the IRS explanation is a fabrication.
It is time to appoint another select committee on the IRS scandal, which is far more dangerous to our individual liberties than anything else save the NSA revelations.
Didn’t the government also “lose” emails from both Clinton and Gore?
Somebody needs to go to jail
Lois Lerner is expendable to micro-manager Obama.
Tie the IRS to Benghazi, and then Chairman Trey Gowdy can begin to Impeach Obama.
Never the less.......Lois should be made an example for all Tyrant’s minions. Commit crimes against the Republic and you die
- The IRS is “double-billing” honest American taxpayer/citizens for 2013 -
- Why ?
• They hope you do not notice it
• If you notice it they still will want to keep the illegal “late penalties” and “interest”
- Check your accounts and info - somebody has to pay for those “golf dates” with Tiger Woods at $1.5M a weekend!
Yup, all the way to, AND including, where the buck stops.
No more “Getting to the bottom of this,” and no more “make sure that this never happens again” Liberal PC BS.
