IRS emails may not be lost?

quote:

In testimony released Monday, Thomas Kane, the IRS’s deputy associate chief counsel, told House Oversight investigators last week that the agency was examining whether all the back-up tapes which held the emails have been recycled.

The IRS told lawmakers in June that the tapes had been recycled, one of the reasons that an untold number of Lerner’s emails were missing. Since then, the IRS commissioner, John Koskinen, has repeatedly stood by those statements in congressional testimony.






So what I am getting out of all of this is that the IRS does not really know what's going on. Is that about right?

I'm still chuckling about Obama saying today that the Ukraine blocking the inspectors from last week's crash had something to hide and they need to turn over evidence and get out of the way.

Ironic, much?

Yep, my thoughts too, 4. The man is either totally oblivious, or flat out psychotic. Maybe both.

The cover up is going to be successful. There are too many big cat Dems involved.

Sen. Durbin and IRS Scandal

For the political neophytes: Keep in mind, if any Republican did this against a liberal group, it would be a national story until he/she was shamed out of office.

Those e-mails are out there, somewhere. Someone has them.

I doubt we will actually get to see the contents of them though.

The RINOs and rats gotta cover for the big-eared bozo, can't let the country's first 'black' president go down in shame, now can we?

I'm sure the media will get right on asking obama why the irs cover up is different than the Russian one.



On a serious note, people should (I know this won't happen) stage a full scale boycott of paying income taxes until we find out the truth. They can't jail several million people can they?

I think you're probably correct. Even with a Republican Senate. Although, if the cover up is as large as I think it is, we might get a pound of flesh eventually.

Why would they (besides the obvious) toss the back up tapes if the original HD's were compromised.....and by compromised, I mean manually deleted.

Let's be clear about this: you WANT them to be lost.

Why would anyone want them to be lost? That helps nobody. We all know if they are lost for good nothing will come of this and this will eventually fade off and be swept under the rug. That may be what YOU want.

I'd like to know if there was any wrongdoing. And unlike you I have no party loyalty, therefore if the emails surface and prove there wasn't any foul play then great, I'll be happy we at least we got a clear answer.

This smells of setting up the Republicans to find nothing

first thing I thought too, now they can "claim" they have proof that nothing really happened.

Hell the Republicans don't want to find anything, they are as afraid of the tea party as they are the Demorats.

I don't even think they would have to do it, they could just suggest that it was done and the 'R's would be forced out. Imagine all the fake/staged protests of code pinkers and their kinkos signs.
