Mr. Koskinen is scheduled to appear before Mr. Issa’s committee on Monday night and, voluntarily, before the Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday. The Ways and Means chairman, Representative Dave Camp, Republican of Michigan, wrote a letter to President Obama on Monday asking for “all communications between Lois Lerner and any persons with the executive office of the president” for the period between

Taking the 5th repeatedly.

“That’s our story and we’re sticking to it.” This is a waste of time. Too many liars.

Have the handcuffs ready —

There has to be at least five backups of those systems.

So go to one of the other five and get what you need.

I’m seeing this morning that IRS is claiming they only keep tape backup for six months.

I’m seeing this morning that IRS is claiming they only keep tape backup for six months.

Almost as big a lie as 'if you like your health insurance, you can keep your health insurance'

[don-o]

Issa should have the head of IRS IT testify right after the Commissioner.

[MrB]

Those on the left will defend this lie, even though it is blatantly obvious.

[OpusatFR]

Put Lerner in a cell and tell her and the IRS that when they retrieve the emails, she can go free.

She’s in contempt.

[FreeAtlanta]

Or demand the NSA for backup with spidering out one or two levels.

Nothing better than hoisting these creatures on their own petards.

[Uncle Chip]

Can’t wait to see how that plays out —

Mr. Issa: “Issa” is Arabic for JESUS.

[cloudmountain]

This is a waste of time. Too many liars.

Amen to that.

[BilLies]

Surprised the New York All Obama all the Times did not post the testimony and cross-examination of the future hearings.
Good Leaks and all that.

[1Old Pro]

Not being able to produce the emails is a punishable crime.
Start the trial.

[don-o]

This is a waste of time. Too many liars.

How about this? How about we stop the “nothing’s gonna happen” meme that dominates this board? I am sure it makes some feel smart and smug. But, that steady stream of demoralizing comments, thread after thread, day after day, is actually aiding and abetting. Someone correct me and defend the strategy of constantly declaring defeat in the midst of the battle.

[Don Corleone]

Scandal upon scandal. There is NO honor anywhere east of the Potomac.
