A federal judge rebuked the Obama administration’s IRS Wednesday for refusing to divulge documents, including Lois G. Lerner emails, and warned he would hold those who break his orders in contempt.
Judge Emmet G. Sullivan called the administration’s defense “nonsensical” and said the IRS must release documents every Monday to Judicial Watch, a conservative public interest law firm that requested the documents under open-records laws, and then sued after the IRS didn’t comply.
“Officers of the court who fail to comply with court orders will be held in contempt,” Judge Sullivan said in a published order.
On July 1, at a hearing, he had ordered the IRS to turn over documents weekly. But after the hearing was over, the IRS approached Judicial Watch and proposed a new schedule. Judicial Watch said it would accept the new schedule, but wanted the IRS to make it official with the court — something the IRS refused to do.
Judge Sullivan was not pleased, noting that the government lawyers had agreed his initial instructions were clear, but violated them anyway.

It’s time these people are escorted from the courtroom in shackles.
I think so too. I wonder how many of them are actually willing to go to jail to protect BO. It’s time to find out, charge them.
You want to REALLY get their attention, judge? Once they’re in contempt, ask their respective state bars to suspend their law licenses for a few years. No license, no job...
Wasn’t their ex-boss Eric Holder found in contempt of Congress? A threatened contempt charge means very little to these people and unless the judge has his own personal police force and private jail I doubt anyone will arrest and detain them. These people know they are above the law and that they can do as they please. Laws don’t apply to members of the regime.
Don’t talk about it judge, do it.
Can someone project the date Lerner will enter prison
They are contemptible people!
You mean that angry letter you asked Issa and Gowdy Doody to help you write didn’t help?
Just shut up or do something besides complain, you sound worse than Mitch and Boehner Judge.
