Man I hope this goes somewhere.
I hope the good judge's life insurance is payed up.
Counting down for the Justice Bros. to declare that the judge is a “Tom” and not really black like them in 10.9.8.7......
Wonder what we’re being sold here.
Roger that. I would suggest he avoid Fort Marcy Park, and make sure he checks under his car, before he drives it.
Unless he put someone in jail I am not impressed.
Big deal he held federal prosecutors in contempt. Did they spend time in jail? Did they get fined thousands of dollars? Did they have to pay for the defendants defense cost?
The DOJ has the power to ruin peoples lives; when they do wrong it is a big deal and they should be punished harshly. Yet you never hear of that happening. I certainly dont see it happening here.
I wonder if he’ll be bought off or murdered.
I think our imbecile of a president is about to attempt his ‘end game’. They have him pretty well backed into a corner.
This looks promising. Even if there is no significant advance on the story next week, this will likely serve to keep it going well into July.
If there is a further development early next week that simmers over the holiday weekend we might see a hardening of public opinion that will be looking for action by the time this part of the story unfolds.
There is every reason to be suspect!
From a previous thread:

Judge Sullivan’s order:
MINUTE ORDER treating as opposed and granting over objection [20] Plaintiff’s Motion for a Status Conference. The Court will hold a status hearing in this matter on July 10, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. in Courtroom 24A. Signed by Judge Emmet G. Sullivan on June 27, 2014. (lcegs1)
Wow! Judge Sullivan treated Judicial Watch’s motion as opposed, but didn’t even wait for the IRS to respond before granting the motion. I guess Judge Sullivan couldn’t even imagine a plausible reason for the behavior of the IRS. I’m not a lawyer, but I am a regular court watcher. I have never seen a judge grant a motion without even letting the opposing party submit a brief opposing the motion.
Two thoughts. 1) This is good because it fast tracks the process. 2) This is bad since it doesn’t require the IRS to make representations to the Court as to why it acted the way it did. Representations to Judge Sullivan that turned out to be less than forthcoming are what led to today’s slapdown.

I’ll take a swing at this, and I think the IRS has a sensitive part of the body caught in the wringer.
Judicial Watch has had a matter in Federal Court since, it appears, May of 2013. Things take time of course, so the court has the patience to make sure everyone has what they need to proceed in this matter. BUT! If something develops which would cause either party to be unable to participate further, the court needs to be advised. So here is where the IRS outsmarted itself. Plaintiff only learned of the destroyed records on June 13, 2014, when the news media reported on the existence of IRSs letter to Congress about the status of the emails.
Ok, the COURT is NOT amused! The attorney representing the Government is going to be on the HOT SEAT and a good excuse better be forthcoming QUICKLY as to why the COURT was not notified of the status of the E-Mails prior to the information being released in the media. A Federal Judge has almost unlimited options in dealing with something this egregious. A Federal Judge can start punitive sanctions immediately, where Congress is unable to act. I would love to be there at the next hearing.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Has anyone started a nationwide petition to abolish the IRS?
Is this pop-corn time???
At least one of the prosecutors was disbarred and another prosecutor committd suicide while under investigation.
Good analysis, Whenifhow!

Rep. Darrell Issa on IRS Chief’s Testimony: ‘One Step Shy of Perjury’
http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/darrell-issa-john-koskinen-IRS/2014/06/27/id/579771/
He was the judge on the Senator Ted Steven’s case and did admonish the prosecutors.
If he’d so it for a Republican Senator, maybe there’s a chance for justice.
But I won’t hold my breath for a Clinton appointee.
