Lois Lerner's IRS E-mails- "The Dog Ate My Homework"

[RoadKingLarry]

I'm required to do an annual review of our corporate records retention policy. Said policy is based on federal laws. I want the IRS leadership to be held accountable to the same laws I am subject to.

As grandpa used to say; "Want in one hand and crap in the other and see which one fills up first".

Sooo... Now it's apparently the fault of budget cuts that emails can't be recovered:

We've gone another $6-9 TRILLION into debt during that time and this jackwagon  is claiming his agency was too stupid to jump on that gravy train?

In the immortal words of LTG Calvin Waller, "Don't piss on my boots and try to convince me that it's raining."

I wonder how well it would go over if the IRS audited me and I responded "mmmp, so sorry, hard drive crashed, records gone, innocent until proven guilty."
I don't actually wonder, because I understand that the Justice system is a farce when it comes to the federal government.

I work at a Uni and we have to maintain a record of emails for seven years I think. Even if they are deleted by the user the email is still there.

Issa appears to be a poor questioner.  Trey Gowdy, on the other hand, did a great job exposing just how full of crap the IRS commissioner was.

Just a quick reminder folks.  Issa's committee is where good investigations go to die.

That's pretty much how I see it. Issa is good for scoring himself some political points, not much else.

But . . . but . . . but . . . wasn't it Issa's committee who put Eric Holder away for contempt, as well as various other Obama administration minions for responding to Committee subpoenas with heavily redacted documents, rather than the complete documents themselves?

Don't know whether to    or      when I see Issa talking tough on TV . . .

Laws are for little people.

I'm waiting for them to drop the real bomb, about how Lois Whateverhernameis's personal computer crash is irrelevent to the recovery of email on an enterprise-type email system. So far I have seen only fringe mentions of it.  Someone needs to tear the whole thing apart by explaining how server archiving works, and grind into dust this fixation on her personal hard drive.

If someone were to point that out, it would result in Issa's committee having to do some real work and actually be effective.  Not going to happen.

I've actually seen it pointed out several times, in the MSM even, not just blogs, but nobody seems to care. Or nobody seems to understand. Not sure which is worse.

Easy there, I don't think you understand clearly. This is real complex. You see, first there is this series of tubes...

When EVER I begin to believe, against all experience, that there's a person in Congress that has a clue, my hopes get stomped.  Now, damnit, Trey Gowdy is setting me up for another crushing disappointment.  His remarks regarding the formation of the Ben Gahzi (who is this Ben fellow, anyway?) in which he took the MSM to the woodshed, gathered my attention.  Now this.  Mark my words, he'll turn out to be a vegan, or Auburn fan, or something.

The Republicans won't do anything to Obama or his people on any of the scandals. They're too afraid of the public unrest they think will follow. Whether it would or not at this point is debatable.  This is all a show for Republican true believers.

Yes.
Don't forget that the Rs and the Ds play for the the same team as well- team Big Government.
