Watching this guys body language or lack of it and his demeanor is incredible. His quickly darting eyes when he is not staring like a granite statue, so much so you'd think the video froze while buffering. No joke..

Noted management expert and Internal Revenue Service Commissioner John Koskinen was apparently called out of retirement — like the Ted Williams of evasive, unapologetic bureaucrats — to destroy what is left of his agency’s credibility.
At immediate issue is two years of subpoenaed e-mails from former IRS official Lois Lerner to outside agencies, lost in a convenient computer crash. The possible involvement of other agencies is one focus of a congressional investigation into the heightened IRS scrutiny of conservative nonprofit groups before the 2012 election.
In recent congressional testimony, Koskinen admitted that the e-mails were irretrievably gone; that the “backup tapes” had been erased; and that Lerner’s hard drive was apparently destroyed in an aggressive act of recycling. With that settled, Koskinen expressed his “hope that the investigations can be concluded in the very near future.”
It is a mix of arrogance and delusion that seems designed to incense Republicans. Koskinen had delayed informing Congress of the lost e-mails for months, even while assuring members they would be provided. “It was my decision that we complete the investigation,” he said, “so we could fully advise you as to what the situation was.” Translation from management-speak: We wanted to get our story straight before we advised you of anything. Koskinen complained about the breadth of subpoenas and the “piecemealing out” of information. Translation: We will provide you what we want when we want. “Every e-mail,” Koskinen assured the House Ways and Means Committee, “has been preserved that we have.” Except the ones they don’t have — and somehow snuffed out, tied to an anvil and thrown into the ocean.

And you are so wonderful?
You must really have enjoyed the last 4 years of Boehner-Protected Obamanation.
Also by your insolent mocking you reveal what you are about. You want to destroy what God built and is now getting weak but might still be saved. In the name of a good that you won’t even be able to GET.
By the way, in case anyone here hasn’t already heard this, this guy has given over $100,000.00 (one Hundred THOUSAND dollars) to the Dems and Dem candidates over the years.
That alone creates the appearance of corruption if you ask me.
Nobody has to say it was wonderful to hate what is even worse.
A lifelong Democrat, Koskinen has donated more than $80,000 to Democratic candidates and organizations since 1990, including $7,300 to Barack Obama’s presidential campaigns, $18,000 to the Democratic National Committee, and numerous smaller donations to various candidates.
John Koskinen is married to Patricia Salz.
I hope so.
As long as we're the ones writing the history...
The God of Truth will write the history if we but first call Him into our hearts to be treasured.
If we act as though our personal goodness were the measure and judge of all, we will FALL and FAIL.
And in the court of public opinion, there sure is!

I was flashing on the same image.

The delay undoubtedly caused by the care with which all traces of, and means to recover, the emails were eliminated.
You're going a bridge too far. At the moment, in these hearings, "impure" Republicans like Paul Ryan are doing good work. You have to realize that it may take a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" approach to finally apply some heat on this most corrupt Administration in modern American history. We can deal with who is a "pure" and "impure" Republican later.
Uh, Michael...have you noticed their BOSS??????
I have not had time to search it out, so I'll ask: do we have a detailed timeline of when: (1) the first congressional letter of inquiry was sent asking for Lois Lerner's emails: (2) the emails were subpoenaed; (3) Lerner's hard drive ostensibly crashed; (4) the other six hard drives ostensibly crashed; (5) the relevant backup tapes were erased; (6) Lerner's hard drive was erased/overwritten/whatever they did to it.
“It is a mix of arrogance and delusion that seems designed to incense Republicans”
Since all Americans and not just Republican Americans are subject to IRS scrutiny, all Americans should be incensed!
Looks just like him
Only more evil and treacherous
