IRS admits to targeting Conservative groups

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

It's a conspiracy.

It's a phony scandal. Not a smidgen of corruption.

Because she was explicitly threatened with criminal prosecution.

People take the 5th when threatened, whether they did something wrong or not. Reason being that even if you did not do anything wrong, enemies parse through your testimony and try to find something else to charge you with.

Issa & Co. knew that if they threatened her with a criminal prosecution she would take the 5th. That's why they did it -- so she would.

But you know all this. More fun to suggest that taking the 5th proves something. That's the whole point, isn't it? Just to make the suggestion.

And when you're guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt you look to take any deal you can & stab everybody else you can in the back. Of course all she has to do is be dumb & "plead the 5th" because 2 brothas got her back.

The former is what is indicated here. Nonetheless, bham equated an agency recycling computer equipment as intentionally crashing a hard drive.

BS - I didn't say that and I've never said Lerner intentionally crashed her hard drive.

Not sure why you have such a reading comprehension problem.

I stated facts; you can draw your own conclusion. This woman is an associate of Lerner (fact). Her hard drive is unavailable (as is Ms Lerner's) when sought in an investigation (fact). In both cases their respective agencies have destroyed the hard drives.

Nowhere did I say either woman intentionally crashed their hard drive.

Amazing how people associated with Lerner keep having hard drive problems.

This second lady did not have hard drive problems. You intentionally made it seem like there was suspiciously some problem with her hard drive.

Article does not say that.

They shouldn't need her hard drive, this moron was very open when breaking the law they have the tweets. It's time for Republicans to stop talking and start acting, all of these clowns need to be charged.

You've confused our politicians with some fantasy of a political system that wants consequences.

I think it's naive to think that politicians on either side of any argument want to see other politicians actually "get in trouble". Shamed yes - actual trouble, not so much.

Tide goes in, tide goes out.

It is suspicious that her hard drive was recycled given she "resigned" for violation of the Hatch act.

I didn't say she trashed it and I've never said Lerner trashed her own.

In one case the IRS "recycled" a drive when that agency knew investigations were occurring. In the other an agency FEC recycled a drive of a person who admitted breaking the law.

You are reading things into other's words (no surprise) then having a hissy fit about it.

Does the FEC have exchange severs and a data retention policy? Did they fire their data retention service also?

She still doesn't. Because it was 'recycled'. Convenient.

A recycled hard drive would certainly be a problem. Though I suppose you are correct that the problem wasn't hers by that point. Actually, it was kind of a massive check in her legal win column.

And another amazing coincidence.

LOL "semantic problem."

It's the looseness of rhetoric and logic like yours that is so emblematic of the way both sides talk past each other in their partisan bickering.

Let's talk FACTS, not use false equivalencies so much.

I like facts. Id like to see them real soon.

 

[ajvol01]

Hard drive?

No problem.

Recycling is good for the environment.

dude you read stuff into my post that was never there.

I can point you to your repeated claim that Hobby Lobby had 73million invested in companies that made BC they object to (even though you were repeatedly corrected) as you in ability to talk facts. Likewise your claim that more than a 1/3 of the tea party is motivated by racism.

If you'd stick to facts rather than trying to ascribe motives and determine what someone "really" meant then it'd be much easier to have a discussion with you on the issues.

Fact is a lot of coincidences seem to happen whenever this crooked, inept admin gets caught red handed.
