Of which this is one of them is there any doubt that this lady needs to go to federal pen to live out the rest of her days.
Not trying to be political in this thread but a corrupt IRS is a problem for everybody depending on who is in office at the time. I hope this proves that a move to a fair tax and repeal of the 16th amendment is hopefully in our futures.
What that message is, I have no idea.
FWIW, I've had 3 external hard drives die on me over the last 4 years, plus one laptop PC and a Creative Zen music player. After the first one I learned and started backing EVERYTHING up, and started working primarily off shared drives at work, which are also backed up.
Crap breaks. ALL THE TIME.
IRS thing got blown way out of proportion, has been thoroughly debunked. As has Benghazi. As has Fast and Furious. A waste of time. Why don't you guys focus on the real scandals? NSA???
Please.
In any case, this thread should be deleted because it will do no good for anyone here and it is ultra political.
Works both ways.
No comment on this particular scandal, though. I'm much too concerned with the color of a dress I saw on Facebook.

If this was nothing and thoroughly debunked ("not a smidgen of corruption") then why did Lois Lerner have to plant the question at that conference to let the cat out of the bag just before the IG did?
Have you ever seen the movie "The Hunt for Red October"? Remember the line, ironically uttered by Fred Thompson, regarding the speculation of what Rameus was going top do with the Red October? "Son, a Russian doesn't take a dump without a plan." Well when Jay Carney stood up in the West Wing and said that this was nothing but the work of some low level of employees, half a million tax accountants and 100,000 tax attorneys looked up from their desks and said "Son, a low level IRS employee doesn't take a dump without a supervisor's approval."
What should have taken place in the investigations would have started with the low level employees in Cincinnati who should have been granted immunity and been compelled to testify. Work up the chain from there to wherever it stopped. But God's gift to Democrats, Darryl Issa, decided he wanted to begin with the Oval Office and work his way down. The result is obfuscation, delay, and coverup and a disorganized investigation.
They would be better off with a real outsider, actually, I will suggest we should hope that both parties should run true outside the beltway types.
Its going to be ugly.
ditto inside the beltway republicans, unless they had an outsider voting record.
and I dont mean the stupid keystone pipeline bullshit, that is just drunk house speaker lack of strategy....putting that on top of the agenda.
not against it really...but...it is not what one would focus on right now.

Yeah, as someone who's worked in IT and did his share of desktop support and server administration, I agree that this isn't necessarily a smoking gun.
God, I used to hate it when users would have, say, their hard drive crash 3 days after I replaced their monitor and actually draw some flimsy, uneducated correlation between the two.
The author could be anticipating that something unlikely and coincidental is going to trigger a clusterfuck of questions and accusations, or the author could be making an admission.
It is by no means a smoking gun or conclusive proof of anything *because* it is ambiguous and open to interpretation.
The Blue-Dress-White-Dress analogy is spot on.
If it was al-queda or nazis, the FBI and Homeland Security comes into play, as well they should.
anything short of that level is sacrosanct. for either perceived 'side'
The right to organize to put forward a political view is a very high order right.
This is a very basic, simple, American tenant.

While certainly not dispositive, I think you have to view this in the context of the author planting a question at the conference in what appears to be an attempt at damage control in front of an IG report. I'll reiterate my comment above that this investigation should have started at the bottom and worked it's way up 2-3 years ago. I'm not sure that's possible at this point.

The same people that just took over your healthcare and the internet..
I don't think that's particularly unique.
90 days has been our corporate policy for at least 15 years.
for very obvious reasons
the state = owned by all the people, and the people have little to no choice in what it does through law, they / we must obey.
law = having totally different standards for each is a very basic concept at the heart of our nation and its highest laws
No. The emails would also be on the email server. That is unless they also deleted her user mailbox on the server. And even if they deleted the mailbox on the server the email would be on the backup tapes. Typically these backups happen nightly. And at most places there are multiple backup tapes are they are rotated so you can go back in time. Apparently the IG has found hundreds of tapes. It's pretty hard to believe that they couldn't recreate these emails with in a couple of hours. From an IT prospective it makes no logical sense.
And why congress did not subpoena these storage servers immediately is beyond me. Nobody that knew anything about email or works in a damn office knew this was bull.
Why not periodically export the files to a .pst and then store it?

Governor dickwad here just put in a new policy where all of our emails (sent and received) are automatically wiped after 90 days. So much for FOIA. It's a big pain in the ass for all of us and no rationale other than his usual whimsy was given. For me, it sucks because I'm losing so much correspondence, data, protocols, addresses, etc. Just a clusterfuck here.

We're trying workarounds including filters etc. Now everyone is scrambling to move years worth of messages into folders that won't be purged.
It is embarrassing that some of you dopes question why this email is relevant with regard to a high-level government official who was held in contempt. If only the press went after this with a Watergate-like fury
He said "the press".
In that respect, it's a where's waldo type of thing
But the MSM doesn't really do stories that could upset the Dem apple cart, do they?
But PBS provided live coverage of every hour of the Senate Watergate Committee's hearings. You can probably equate that to CSPAN to day. However, in addition, the (then) 3 major networks for the first week all provided live daily gavel to gavel coverage. After the first week they alternated live coverage. And this was before the discovery of the "smoking gun". Unheard of.

Spying/intimidating political adversaries EVERYWHERE using the IRS NSA FBI = phony scandals.
Some get more worked up over "Bridgegate".
Who are "My Guys" exactly? I'd love to know. I don't blindly accept talking points, I come to my own conclusions. I've criticized this President, I've criticized many of the Democratic politicians, I've criticized Liberal pundits. There is plenty to complain about.
But distractions like the aforementioned phony scandals are just that, distractions. How many hearings and independent investigations on Benghazi now?
Sorry, the initial post was flat out lame.
As is trying to draw conclusions about my political beliefs without even knowing me.

Anything that reflects bad on "their guys" is Fox News/RW propaganda and not worthy of our attention... but let's spend 2 weeks parsing the words of some republican politician to see if we can make a scandal for MSNBC.

I don't see how you can define this as a phony scandal given the planted question by Lerner that initiated it.

Isn't there like six different investigations into this? Seems like a lot.

Yeah but that doesn't make sense as you're getting more press here than the Watergate investigation did. Two young reporters followed that story while everyone else ignored it.
Convict your Liddy and McCord and I'm sure you'll get a ton of press.
What scandals are you talking about? What exactly have they been proven to be doing wrong in this vast quantity of scandals you mention?
