That’s a lot of words, a lot of question, a lot of grandstanding ... and they demand answers by noon tomorrow.
I fear they will not get much.
“Inherent Contempt” is the proper term, and CONGRESS needs to get off their asses and LOCK EVERY LAST one of these people up FOREVER.
Obama and his IRS lackeys have most likely destroyed the emails. Obama is seeking “plausible deniability” regarding the emails. He will drag his feet, stall the process and try to run out the clock on his second term. Then he’ll issue pardons on his last day in office.
This would be the end of Ubama... if we still had the rule of law.
I suspect the e-mails show not only naked, and illegal partisanship by ambitious lefty apparatchiks, but also embarrassing unprofessionalism as well.
You can imagine some of the nasty thoughts these hacks put in writing, aware that Valerie Jar Jar wanted “revenge” against those who opposed the Won.
If this stuff gets out they may not keep their jobs or be able to find a job in the private sector that they are always threatening to join since (like university eggheads) they’re always bellyaching that don’t make enough money as `public servants’.
For Pete’s sake.... Start jailing these bastards and answers will start flowing....
Time to take the mittens off and throw on a pair of brass knuckles ....
SOMEONE allegedly was logging into Lois Lerner's IRS account after she left.. Could have been her but I don't think she's smart enough to PERMANENTLY delete Emails. Probably a software person who was given her user name and password who did the deed. THAT PERSON NEEDS TO BE IDENTIFIED, ARRESTED AND JAILED, AND BY THE HOUSE IF NEED BE. Screw the DOJ, they've deleted enough F&F documents on their own.
Crickets are all we’ll get. There ain’t no stomach in DC for the proper solution; impeachment.
The current corrupt administration doesn’t care about us, the law, or the Constitution.
It has turned the irs, the fbi, and the doj into instruments of its power outreach.
Therefore, the failure for the IRS to preserve and provide these records to the Committees would evidence either violations of numerous records retention statutes and regulations or obstruction of Congress.......
............We also seek access to all computers, both official and personal, used by any and all of the Defendants from and after July 1, 2010, in order to ensure preservation of the documents of all Defendants in this action.
Perfect!
I’ll check to see how Chris Mathews reports this tonight.......
Makes one yearn for honest presidents like Richard Nixon.
The key word here is "spoliation." That term strikes fear into the heart of any lawyer with a shady client. Let me see if I can explain -
Basically, if you are caught destroying evidence that you knew or should have known was relevant to a lawsuit, the court presumes that whatever you destroyed would have proved your opponent's case.
So TTV now won't have to prove that the IRS was illegally using its power to harass the administration's political opponents - it's presumed because the IRS destroyed the documents.
It's basically the death penalty for litigators. What's more, the jury is instructed on spoliation (which irritates them) and the judge will be very annoyed because it's basically contemptuous. And even a liberal judge understands that he can't let any party - even the government - get away with that in his courtroom.
If the penalties for destroying evidence weren't severe, everyone would be doing it.
No doubt those emails would implicate at least half of the democrat congress.
Justice would be served if a computer or document were found to name Catherine Englebrecht personally, allowing her to sue for a violation of civil rights. That could mean she could go after people individually and they couldn’t hide behind government lawyers. Once they are footing their own bills and looking at losing their own money or even doing time we’d hear some high pitched squealing.
