IRS admits to targeting Conservative groups

[allvol123]

Thanks for the laugh, I needed that ..

He is dragging down your state. I'd trade him to Mexico for 100 illegals in a second. And that is coming from a republican conservative libertarian tea party racist, so you know that's bad.

As Koskinen stares back with his sociopathic smugness.

What an arrogant pos that guy was yesterday to put it mildly but that's what you get from the IRS.....people who are above the law at what they do.

 

[volinbham]

I didn't look - did Koskinen explain why he indicated in March that they would get all the emails even though he knew at the time they were "lost"?

He pointed out they sent 27 pages explaining what the answers to the problem was & if they didn't understand that well......just too damn bad for them.

Great point, he's either a liar or profoundly incompetent .

He's a profoundly incompetent liar.

 

[FLVOL69]

He's a profoundly incompetent liar.

Agreed

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

He's a profoundly incompetent liar.

What gets me is they do it w/such a straight face like their messiah Obama.

 

[Grand Vol]

I saw it -- HORRIBLE acting by him. The feigned outrage got him on Fox though. So it worked. Tucker Carlson this morning called it "dramatic. " I call it overdramatic.

Really weak.

He does a way better job of "acting" outraged than Biden does of "acting" smart.

 

[Gramps]

Could be both

 

[Gramps]

Not a huge fan of Paul Ryan, but he's a tiger in this one:

Ryan lashes out at IRS commissioner: 'Nobody believes you'| Latest News Videos | Fox News

I think this counts as a BOOM situation.

CNN just ran part of the hearing. I give Ryan cudo's. He was spot on. I don't understand how any sensible person can believe the IRS lost these emails. It is not only Lois Lerner's emails, it appears that the emails of everyone involved in this are lost.

Had he gone after Biden that way in the debate, I can guarantee you Uncle Joe wouldn't have had a smirk.

The biggest thing the media isn't asking right now is who did those emails go to? And furthermore, wasn't that around the same time that the IRS made all those White House visits?

So they can collect each and every email back to people in the IRS but nothing outside of the agency. Coincidence that those emails would be the ones that link the IRS to higher?

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said yesterday his agency doesn't owe Congress any apology whatsoever citing the fact that the IRS hasn't lost a single email since the current investigation began. He must not have gotten that last memo from his underlings. How do they find these most arrogant pos people like him & Lerner to run the IRS to begin with??

The median may be making a turn on this issue, at least CNN is. There report I watched this afternoon was spot on. This is so far fetched no one can believe the IRS lost those specific emails.

The candidates are so coached going into a debate they are scared to says anything not rehearsed.

Yep and Ryan stated the IRS owed the American people an apology. I was actually proud of Ryan. He sais what many others should be saying.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

It's really beyond rich that for the IRS public relations team to try as they may to present the agency as "sticklers" for adhering to required operating procedures. The reason Congress asked for the hard drive at all is because the IRS claimed many of Lerner's email was stored on it & nowhere else. The IRS failed to comply with "standard IRS protocol" on records maintenance. According to Federal law IRS guidelines requires "virtual copies" of all official emails to be permanently & separately stored in addition to "hard copy records".

 

[37L1]

Isn't this all too convenient.

Not a smidgen of corruption but an extreme overload of BS.

One would have to be willfully blind to not see there are "issues" here.

Sure. My point is that if there is any merit to any of these criticisms, it's drowned out by all the other nonsense. It's hard to take any of it very seriously.

Funny, that's how most of us feel about the explanation for the missing emails.

What nonsense are you speaking of?

Alinsky's fourth rule:

He confused the story of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' with a more recent one: "The Story of the Media That Cried 'What Wolf?' While the Town Got Eaten by a Whole Pack of Rabid Wolves."

 

[FLVOL69]

What nonsense are you speaking of?

Every time his supreme leader opens his pie hole it's nonsense.

 

[lawgator1]

It is correct to say that they should have the emails. It is correct to say that it looks bad when they don't.

It is incorrect to say that the fact that the emails are missing automatically leads to the conclusion that they showed anything remarkable, or that their loss is anything other than innocent.
