This absolutely was no “mistake.” More lies and cover-up.
Try to use that excuse against the IRS and you will go to jail.
As far as I know, ignorance of a law isn’t a legal defense.
Put the one’s who are responsible in prison until they tell us who told them to do it.
Oops! We accidentally deleted exactly the emails needed for the investigation. Just bad luck. Nothing anyone could have done to prevent it.
This is clearly obstruction of justice, but nothing will happen because the gov. is absolutely corrupt.
There are no “good” people at this IRS.
FUIRS!
“if their lips are moving they are lying...”. Unfortunately, that is the most charitable perspective one can take on our gummint nowadays.
yeh right....
Ridiculous excuse. The problem is there are enough idiots and enough immoral liberals who will believe anything that this administration says.
If you leave me, I won’t miss you,
And I won’t ever take you back.
Girl, your mem’ry won’t ever haunt me
‘Cause I don’t love you, and now if you’ll buy that.
[Chorus:]
I got some ocean front property in Arizona.
From my front porch you can see the sea.
I got some ocean front property in Arizona.
If you’ll buy that, I’ll throw the golden gate in free.
Courtesy of George Strait. Have posted these lyrics before, and as always no malicious intent meant toward Mr. Strait, but can not help but think about this song whenever I read dubious statements like these from Obama, Hitlery, Democrats, and certainly the IRS.
They’re all tax leaches. They don’t produce anything of value for the common good. All they’re concerned about is their careers.
Need to take the leviathan down.
I live in an age of lies. Here we have AP slavishly covering up a huge lie, and we are supposed to respect them as journalists.
I was unaware that it's possible to get hired by the IRS despite having an IQ lower than room temperature.
I am shocked shocked to find that a coverup is going on here.
Erase backup tapes?????
What the heck does ‘backup’ mean?????
Oh, it means erase me!
Nixon’s secretary accidentally erased 18 minutes of audio tape.
Mistakes were made...
Anybody out there in electron-land ACTUALLY BELIEVE this bullshit???
...didn’t think so.
So let me see if I have this right. A person works for the IRS and part of their job involves recycling tapes. There are certain tapes that by directive (law), must be preserved for whatever reason. And the person that does the job isn’t informed?
Is that what their saying?
