You guys are funny. This is not about right or wrong or criminal intent for a lib like LG. This is about winning. This is about getting their world view implemented no matter the cost. Because no matter what it costs their Utopia is worth it.

He's absolutely right. If people like you have to break a few eggs...

You wouldn't mind seeing people imprisoned for their political views, now would you? These scandals don't bother you when anyone with half a brain can see what's going on.

Ummmmm no. I don't want to see anyone imprisoned for political views. That's absurd.

IRS required by law to print out emails for record-keeping | The Daily Caller

“The Federal Records Act applies to email records just as it does to records you create using other media,” according to the IRS. “Emails are records when they are: Created or received in the transaction of agency business; Appropriate for preservation as evidence of the government’s function and activities; or Valuable because of the information they contain.”

“If you create or receive email messages during the course of your daily work, you are responsible for ensuring that you manage them properly,” according to the IRS. “The Treasury Department’s current email policy requires emails and attachments that meet the definition of a federal record be added to the organization’s files by printing them (including the essential transmission data) and filing them with related paper records. If transmission and receipt data are not printed by the email system, annotate the paper copy.”

“Please note that maintaining a copy of an email or its attachments within the IRS email MS Outlook application does not meet the requirements of maintaining an official record,” the IRS stated. “Therefore, print and file email and its attachments if they are either permanent records or if they relate to a specific case.”

Losing all evidence of agency emails, therefore, is a violation of federal law.

IRS Has Lost More E-mails . . . | National Review Online

It’s not just Lois Lerner’s e-mails. The Internal Revenue Service says it can’t produce e-mails from six more employees involved in the targeting of conservative groups, according to two Republicans investigating the scandal.

The IRS told Ways and Means chairman Dave Camp and subcommittee chairman Charles Boustany that computer crashes resulted in additional lost e-mails, including from Nikole Flax, the chief of staff to former IRS commissioner Steven Miller, who was fired in the wake of the targeting scandal.

The sad parts about all this? The average Americans is either:

A. Too stupid to realize they are getting lied to
B. Just so apathetic they don't care
C. Too apathetic and stupid to call their representatives and demand something be done

And foremost in this?

D. Congress has the DGAF attitude as long as they're getting paid.

They have no idea of what the term "CYA" means.

They are calling the GOP's bluff. Obama and his admin are betting that there will be nobody to aggressively pursue the matter.

Furthermore, they are confident the media will not hold them to account. Worse case scenario, they can slow roll investigation until end of obama's term.

he was apoplectic when the Bush administration fired all those US attorneys, which was completely legal. He's silent when the Obama administration violates the law seemingly on a whim and goes out of his way to blame the GOP.

Weaksause, as reported. According to the story, the only person important enough to mention is a secretary copied on an email. Not alleged to be involved in any way.

But, hey, the more outrage the better.

Are you this selective when reading up for a case?

Doesn't matter, who's involved. Right now any tax attorney worth their salt should be filling appeals of any lost case during this time frame. The IRS hasn't (admittedly) followed federal law, doesn't matter if it's this case or Joe Blow's audit!
