Obviously the contention that email files are lost is from some higher level manager. This is not Darrell Issa’s committee, but the Ways and Means Committee and they have greater authority over the IRS than Mr. Issa’s group. They will probably talk to the actual technicians operating the system (GS 9 and 11 level)who will not only know what actually happened by who will not put themselves at jeopardy to protect their managers. It will take time to sort out but that may be a good thing as we will have a new Attorney General in two and a half years. Remember, almost all the Watergate convictions came about after President Nixon left office.
I'm a little worried about that statement.
Is there a statute of limitations on criminal acts while in elected, appointed or hired for federal employment?
Were the charges related to Watergate also filed after President Nixon left office?
Sorry, I didn't keep track of the Watergate thing, being objectively very minor; nobody died.
The panoply of Baraq Hussein regime's crimes are several orders of magnitude greater than Watergate, with deaths of citizens all over the place!
