U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan Thursday ordered the Internal Revenue Service to come up with new answers after IRS employees contradicted sworn testimony about damage to Lois Lerner’s hard drive.
Sullivan ruled that “the IRS is hereby ORDERED to file a sworn Declaration, by an official with the authority to speak under oath for the Agency, by no later than August 22, 2014″ on four issues: the IRS’ attempted recovery of Lerner’s lost emails after her computer allegedly crashed, bar codes that could have been on the hard drive, IRS policies on hard drive destruction, and information about an outside vendor who worked on IRS hard drives.

What about the server? What about the backups? What about Koskinen saying the data was on a disaster recovery tape but it was “too difficult” to retrieve?
However it comes out, we MUST cut their budget by 50%.
They screamed about the $1 billion cut, down from $14 billion, annually.
OBVIOUSLY it’s not enough —not nearly.
Right after all this, they get the huge promotion to manage all of Obamacare?
That’s like rushing MOAB’s and personal A-bombs to all officers in Ferguson.

Obama will declare “executive privilege” and the problem will go away.

They’re not afraid of 2 years and a pardon in a country club.
No later than August 22? Why not today - NOW?
That just gives them time to ‘figure something out’, so to speak.

“the IRS is hereby ORDERED to file a sworn Declaration, by an official with the authority to speak under oath for the Agency, by no later than August 22,”
Imagine being the IRS official who gets that call, “We have an assignment for you...”.
I see some of the Obama IRS people don’t want to tempt the judge as they may end up in jail. Things appear to happen when they piss off the judge so he gives the OBot scofflaws no where to go.
If my computer fails, I can go to any computer, anywhere or a smart phone and access my email account.
There’s nothing in the article that supports the statement in the headline. What’s up with that?
