| IRS under fire for erasing records sought in court order | |
| 2016-01-23 | |
| [WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Lawmakers blasted the Internal Revenue Service this week for deleting records that a federal judge had ordered the agency to produce. First, Sens. Orrin Hatch ...Republican Senator-for-Life from Utah. The state does have two senators but nobody can remember who the other guy is... and Ron Wyden demanded to know why a hard drive had been "sanitized" after a court ordered the IRS ...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies... to hand over records from that computer. In a letter to IRS Commissioner John Koskinen Wednesday, the pair of Republicans questioned the tax agency's record-keeping policies, which have come under fire for years thanks to a series of lengthy congressional investigations that were stymied by the IRS' failure to turn over key documents. "For unknown reasons, the hard drive in question was not recycled, and in December of [2014] a FOIA request was issued that may have pertained to documents on the hard drive," Hatch and Wyden wrote of the wiped hardware. "In April 2015, the IRS subsequently 'sanitized' the hard drive, in potential violation of IRS procedure and the relevant litigation hold."

| #9 My post #2 is a warning to the next president. You will appoint new leaders. These leaders will ask to be briefed by the crooks in place. They new leaders will be lied to. What is plan B? |

| #8 That happened last year in Denmark, Darth. Since a lot of the Progressives want us to be like Denmark, I'm for it. |

| #6 Meanwhile we little people still have to obey the law while our so called leaders flaunt the law. The peasants are revolting! The leaders say, "Why, yes they are." |

| #2 Middle management is often the problem. Top management asks middle management for data. Middle management lies. Top management ends up being poweless. The answer? Reduction in force. |

| #1 I'd start firing top down with the proviso that the next layer might get spared criminal indictments and loss of pension if they turned |
