House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa has subpoenaed the commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service to testify next week before Congress about a trove of lost emails that could contain evidence of a plan to targeted conservative groups. Issa, R-Calif., will hold a June 23 hearing aimed at finding out more about two year´s worth of emails -- from 2009 to 2011 -- that the IRS has reported lost. The emails were from former top IRS official Lois G. Lerner to Justice Department and Treasury officials. ssa had requested the emails because he and other Republicans believe

Theater.
Why doesn’t he just call Snowden?
I want to believe....
I don’t with good reason. But I want to.
The government doesn’t use servers, they use parchment, a quill and candlelight. The candle fell over the parchment burned. Voila, no emails.
No, they need to turn it over to a special prosecutor. Testimony before Congress doesn’t accomplish anything.
This is the scandal they should have put the select committee on. This has more legs than Benghazi. The problem is Bohner has no problem with the IRS targeting the Tea Party.
They arent limited to one.
Can he subpoena the NSA archive of the emails?
Two words come to mind here.
“Dog” and “pony.”
Yes but take them one at a time for more effectiveness. The masses get confused.
To quote the woman Jeb Bush honored with a medal recently as a great American or some crap...What difference, at this point, does it make?
Besides. Cloward Piven works both ways.
If only the opposition party would oppose rather than collaborate.
Only if the press was fair. It doesn't work for the right.
“All they ever do about anything is lie and stonewall. How long will it take for average Joe democrat to realize this?”
Forever, because the old media will not cover it. I just asked my well informed 30+ Daughter and husband about it. They are IT professionals. They had not heard of it, were barely aware of the IRS scandal, and simply shrugged it off with “we are skeptical of anything out of Washington”.
As long as the average Joe Democrat relies on the old media and leftist sources for his information, he will not realize it.
The new media is making some headway, but people who are not interested do not bother to read it.

In the late 90s I edited a niche site, Off-Road,com, with a greater online presence/readership than NASCAR. We were top 1000 for a while.
Niche market. In the late 90s. Monthly readership 7 figures global.
It can be done easily.
You are the right. Do it.
“Not a smidgen of wrongdoing.”
I am laid up in a bed with enough medical issues to write a book on. I am not able to physically do it anymore.
Nor am I the keeper of knowledge. Plenty of people know how. Plenty have sites and refuse to leverage them to potential and YOU NEED THE GOP/TEA ON BOARD.
I know Issa is viewed with contempt in here, but just what the hell is he supposed to do?????? He can’t arrest anyone. He can’t throw anyone in prison. He can’t play judge, jury, and executioner. So what is he supposed to do?? If he didn’t issue a subpoena, people in here would be bitching about that, too.
