Investigators find 32,000 emails in IRS probe
Associated Press ^ | Feb 26, 2015 11:10 PM EST | Stephen Ohlemacher

Investigators said Thursday they have recovered 32,000 emails related to a former IRS official at the heart of the agency’s tea party scandal.

But they don’t know how many of them are new.

The emails were to and from Lois Lerner, who used to head the IRS division that processes applications for tax-exempt status. Last June, the IRS told Congress it had lost an unknown number of Lerner’s emails when her computer hard drive crashed in 2011.

At the time, IRS officials said the emails could not be recovered. But at a congressional hearing Thursday evening, investigators said they recovered thousands of emails from old computer tapes used to back up the agency’s email system. …

Ron Johnson (R) Wisconsin .. who is the chairman of the committee investigating the IRS mess .. is under attack from the DemocRATS .. stating they are planning to primary him with some idiot (D).

With all Wisconsin has been through putting their state back together by Gov. Scott Walker, I hope Ron can withstand the fire and get re-elected.

He will be fine. They have spent every last dollar they had to dislodge Walker and they are spent.

They can’t get half their people to pay their union dues now. Wait until after Right to Work hits and fifty percent of the private sector union members stop paying their dues.

A national Right to Work law is overdue.Perhaps a new Republican President can hustle that through the legislature. That and executive order eliminating Kennedy’s on the right of Federal Workers to Unionize would cripple the fundraising for the Democrats for fifty years.

Hell, after the way Obama has run things. I hope he executive orders everything we ever wanted and dares the Congress to over ride him. Dictatorship should cut both ways.

Nurse Ratchet must be scared poo-less, right? As if it really matters anymore. These people engage in criminal activity in broad daylight all day long and nothing happens to them. And they know it. From the white hut on down. Wish it mattered but it won’t.

That’s the way they want you to think.

I seriously want to see Lois Lerner in jail. As far as I am concerned, that move will signify investigators are getting somewhere. Bet if that happens she’ll fold and dump the goods on Obama as she doesn’t seem like the type of person that will want to spend her retirement in jail.

Even if she goes, she’ll get a pardon.

How long do you figure the list of Obama’s presidential pardons is going to get?

Pretty damned big. He may end up adding himself and his wife to it.

executive amnesty. The only way she goes to prison is to drag this out 2 years so we’re past the end of his term when she’s convicted.

Good point. And if a conservative wins POTUS in 2016, couldn’t he/she issue an executive order to block Obamnesty?

Ah, negative. Recovering only the ones you want to recover is much better than recovering all of them or none of them. Eh?

A national Right to Work law is overdue.

A complete revamp of the NRLA is due, especially ending the union exemption from antitrust laws. Let them compete, making the most of every worker.

I won’t support him. He should be worried. He folded like a cheap suit as soon as he got to Washington. He started hanging around with John McCain and some other bad company. You don’t think he got all of those plum committee appointments by not being a team player do you?

He ran as a tea party candidate going to DC to bring down Obamacare. Now he disavows his tea party roots and claims nothing can be done about Obamacare.

True, but there are enough Patriots around to ridicule and brow beat her existence into a living hell. Her own neighbor wouldn’t even let her pot marked face in his house when she asked to let her in when the press was hounding her during a walk with the dog. More of that please.
