It's not just Lois - emails of 6 more IRS employees lost
2014-06-18
This isn't just corruption on a massive scale, this is an extended finger at Congress and the American people. The emails are gone because they implicate Champ (or ValJar). And Champ doesn't care about the law.

By the way, the Daily Caller points out that the IRS -- of course -- requires all emails that are part of the "federal record" to be archived, both electronically and in paper, for pretty much forever.

#12  Over a decade ago, I had a system running ME on a real piece of S hard drive, and it crashed.

I took it to some bum eff store in the middle of Kansas and had 90% recovery, 100% recovery on simple items and text - all of my e-mail information.

But today, if so motivated, I could receive an email from some government agency telling me the pizza I just phoned in could affect my BMI but that statistically speaking I prefer banana peppers early in the week but did not order them this time.

You call 7 Jacks. Playing with 1 deck. This is my bullshit face. Pick the cards up.

They were aware there is continuous back-up of government email and paper copies at the end of the day so they used personal accounts and aliases to conceal them. 'Richard Windsor's' accounts needs forensic IT's to follow the trail to other pseudo names, which may be quite damning to discover ValJar's secret accounts. They need archive the whole lot of them for multiple federal crimes and perjury in federal facilities pretty much forever.

#7  1) Shitcan every person involved in targeting with the 501(c)(4) groups. If it's a couple of hundred, good.
2) Strip them of their pensions.
3) Press criminal charges against supervisors, managers, directors, etc.
4) Cut their next fiscal year budget by 20%.
5) Repeal mandatory withholding from all forms of income. If Dems want to get permanent voters by bringing in illegals, we will get even more our way when people have to start mailing in quarterly estimated tax payments.

#6  Throw a few of the arrogant a$$holes in jail for contempt/obstruction of justice and just maybe, they will start to talk more freely and with some candor. Roll them up to the top--unless they are willing to fall on their swords for the ONE.

Uh oh . . . . It's here to stay.

#4  I (and david ricardo and Adam Smith) prefer a Land Value tax.

No IRS at all, no government examining your private business. No punishment for working.

#3  No more IRS paychecks or pensions.

#2  Bring on the Flat Tax. All withholdings sent directly to the U.S. Treasury. Pension them all off or transfer to the National Park Service. No more handling tax payers money. No more IRS scandal, no more IRS abuse !

#1  Oh my. Did IT screw up? I think they need to go to jail until they come up with the "lost" emails. Or can dig through the logs to prove who disappeared what and when.
