The revelation that Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services administrator Marilynn Tavenner did not retain her e-mails means that more than 20 witness in the Obama administration to lose or delete e-mails without notifying Congress, according to the top House investigator.
“The Obama administration has lost or destroyed e-mails for more than 20 witnesses, and in each case, the loss wasn’t disclosed to the National Archives or Congress for months or years, in violation of federal law,” House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman Darrell Issa (R., Calif.) said of Tavenner’s lost e-mails.
“It defies logic that so many senior Administration officials were found to have ignored federal recordkeeping requirements only after Congress asked to see their e-mails,” he continued. “Just this week, my staff followed up with HHS, who has failed to comply with a subpoena from ten months ago. Even at that point, the administration did not inform us that there was a problem with Ms. Tavenner’s e-mail history. Yet again, we discover that this administration will not be forthright with the American people unless cornered.”
From February of 2010 to November of 2013 — one month after the launch of the HealthCare.gov website, as the Daily Caller’s Patrick Howley noted — Tavenner didn’t maintain copies of her e-mails as required.
“During her entire tenure at CMS, Ms. Tavenner’s CMS e-mail address, which is accessible to both colleagues and the public, has been subject to write-in campaigns involving thousands of e-mails from the public,” CMS wrote to the National Archives and Records Administration, per Howley.
“Therefore, she receives an extremely high volume of e-mails that she manages daily. To keep an orderly e-mail box and to stay within the agency’s e-mail system capacity limits, the administrator generally copied or forwarded e-mails to immediate staff for retention and retrieval, and did not maintain her own copies,” CMS said.
Issa subpoenaed the missing e-mails ten months ago. “The evidence is mounting that the website did not go through proper testing, including critical security testing, and that the Administration ignored repeated warnings from contractors about ongoing problems,” he said at the time. “The American people deserve to know why the administration spent significant taxpayer money on a product that is entirely dysfunctional and puts their personal information at risk.”
There, fixed it.
Prosecute and jail. This is blatant corruption
So? If no one has to be held accountable through being fired, being demoted, being imprisoned, being fined or any other meaningful consequence...so what? If not one receives justice, this is all kabuki theater or a dog-and-pony show.
JAIL time. Period.
Ok. I believe you. Now what, Issa? Or is the opportunity for angry rhetoric the only point?
Either DO something about it or shut up, but the hand-wringing and endless posturing needs to stop.
eggszactly
This is what happens when you don’t have an engaged opposition party to rampaging Dems. The GOP has become a sick Potemkin village of a political party.
I have watched Issa babble his tough guy talk for years now with NOT A BIT OF SUCCESS. He needs to let it go and let the next fake tough guy handle it for awhile.
Just imagine if this had happened under a Republican...
oh, never mind.
Of course they did.
Issa and corrupt Cummings ARE TOOTHLESS.
Like Holder-the-Criminal, they are the REASON there
is no more respect of, what once was, Law.
Sit tight, I’m sure there’ll be a Gowdy thread along any minute.
So who is going to jail then Issa?
The POTUS cannot cover up crimes through executive order when he is involved.
And yes, he is up to his skinny little neck in this.
Obama has become Nixon with a record worse than Carter.
The only thing that can be done is for Boehner to appoint a special prosecutor and even
then I don't think he has the authority. That rests in the Senate.
If the GOP takes the Senate all hell will break loose from Obama. He will run
this country into Hell on Earth before they must step down.
Please. Comparing the illicit, illegal Kenyan squatting in the White House to Nixon? You may as well compare Charles Manson to your grandma parking in the handicap spot even though she forgot her hang-tag.
No accountability for our Government overlords. They've created a lawless society... Or laws that apply only to the tax-paying serfs.

Replace Issa with Ted Nugent. Then the trophy wall will start to fill....
At the end of the day, Issa will send an angry email to someone about all of this, and then he will declare victory.
SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT, DARRYL?
