I'm still not sure if politicians spinning things (especially things that could not have been definitively disproven at the time) for political purposes rises to criminality.

I sort of agree with you boosie, but it is despicable. Especially when looking back after Mitt took Obama to the woodshed the first debate.

Makes the Candy Crowley thing possibly one of the biggest campaign moments in the history of this country....

Every equipment failure within an agency so poorly funded it still relies on Windows XP is not a conspiracy. Are you surprised that a government agency is behind the times technologically?


Your loyalty truly knows no bounds.

That is not a compliment

And yet he is completely convinced that the IRS can use this same outdated technology to monitor healthcare.

At the time Lois Lerner took her job the IRS only had server space to archive 3 months of employee emails, and then recently managed to up that to 6 months.


This is so much horse crap I don't even know where to begin.

The average email is about 75 kb. I can go to office depot and buy a 1TB hard drive for about $100. that's 14MM+ emails.

How many emails do you think the IRS gets? Are we supposed to believe that the IRS cannot afford sufficient storage spaces for mother fricking EMAILS???

Please.


As I have said before I worked for DoD for 30 years. Believe it or not most agencies are way behind in technology. Many many agencies are using Windows XP still. Most agencies do not keep emails on a server past a certain time frame. Is the timing suspicious? Yes it is. But the explanations I've heard about destroying crashed hard drives, not keeping emails on servers unfortunately jibe with my career experiences.

It's amazing that incompetence has become the defense of choice for this administration and it's supporters.

On one hand they argue that only government can solve our problems, while simultaneously arguing that government is too incompetent to archive emails as millions of private companies do every day.

Then please explain how they have the technology, money, resources, manpower to track down a person who hadn't paid taxes on a $300 gambling win from 6 years prior?

I'm not defending the administration or the agency, I'm just relating what I know from my experience. I will take issue with you on the incompetence descriptor. Knowing you need it but not having the money to do is different. People that work for the Army use way outdated computers that can barely function in a Windows XP environment. They'd love to have better but there is no money for that.

And Greata Van Sustran was on This Week with George Stephanopolus, saying THE TIME LINE doesn't fit for the emails to have been destroyed on purpose.

She had the perfect chance and bottled the facts.

Lying to the American people isn't illegal. It's our job to punish that transgression at the ballot box.

It's crazy how many scandels have popped up this past year. I've never seen anything quite like it in my lifetime. Thinking back, it's no wonder Obama was so terrible that 1st presidential debate. Obama had to know all these abuse & corruption acts were going to explode sooner or later. I don't think Obama wanted a second term, but when others invest million\trillions on you, they own you pretty much. They probably told Obama. Tighten up or else.........

I'm not sure how high this IRS thing goes but there's been some shady-wrong-doings done here. It's gotten pretty obvious with each lie and actions by the IRS. They're very smug, rude, and think the laws they enforce on us all. Don't apply to them or how dare anyone question their actions. Every American, no matter your party, should be very concerned by these behaviors. This could be the one of the biggest scandals and cover-ups in American history. This time we‘re living through it though.....
