Investigation of IRS Targeting

Commissioner John Koskinen testified at a House Ways and Means Committee hearing on the investigation of the IRS' criteria to process applications of tax-exempt organizations.

Doggett, ‘Rat from Texas equating IRS investigation to Benghazi investigation and Area 51 investigation. Doggett is slimy representative.

[don-o]

We need someone to start asking technical questions.

I was afraid that we would get more scatter gun disorganized flailing about. What is so hard about making a game plan?

[mowowie]

Guy is a freak.
Reminded me of a reptile...

[cripplecreek]

Damn right we don’t believe this.

[kabar]

They should ask Koskinen about the back-up policy in IRS. Was Lerner on the IRS network? The crash of a hard drive in an individual computer should not destroy two years of emails and other documents. There are federal regualtions governing the back-up and archiving of documents. Was the IRS following these regulations?

The Reps are worthless.

[don-o]

I think they are asserting that an email is not a document.

[Gene Eric]

True, but it doesn’t seem the “investigators” are really interested in the e-mail either.

[kabar]

According to federal law, emails are treated as official correspondence. They are documents for archiving purposes.

[cripplecreek]

Shouldn’t these Emails end up in the national Archive?

If so, Sandy Berger is going to need bigger socks.

[butterdezillion]

As long as Lois Lerner and Eric Holder are convicted of contempt of Congress and not arrested, all investigations by the House are a sick joke. When the House starts putting people in jail, maybe testifiers will stop smugly flipping the bird at the entire country as if they are untouchable.

[mowowie]

No mention of the e-mail SERVERS and their RAID drives?
No mention of NSA backup?
did Lois connect peer to peer through her telephone modem to communicate through e-mail with the white house?

[Solson]

They simply have NO PLAN! The lizard from V is skating clean from this testimony and he should be strung up with Lerner and the rest of them!

[kabar]

I spent 36 years in the federal government. E-mails ARE official correspondence and must be saved and archived to an- offsite location. In the State Department, back-ups were done daily. If Lerner’s computer was on a network, then there should have been back-ups and archived off-site.

[Ray76]

Get a load of Blumenauer.

[mowowie]

These democrats are truly pathetic.
They should be ashamed at themselves.
It’s scary that people with ZERO morals or character are in charge of our lives....

[cripplecreek]

Blumenauer holding a pity party for the poor oppressed IRS.

[mowowie]

He looks like the wacky professor on some cable access television show.

[cripplecreek]

This IRS commissioner incidentally is the former CEO of Freddie Mac.

[Ray76]

Good analogy. He makes me think of some sort of Foghorn Leghorn/Alan Alda hybrid.

[kiryandil]

this ass brings up SCOTT WALKER and talk about a "criminal scheme."

And speaking of "criminal schemes" - just ask yourself how Scott Walker could prevail handily in a recall election in Wisconsin in June 2012, yet Wisconsin goes to Obama in a cakewalk in November 2012.

Can you say "buses from Chicago to Milwaukee", kids?
