I just want a result one way or the other, but am glad it's not on the taxpayers dime anymore.

The Judicial Watch lawsuit is filed on behalf of all the non-profits that Lerner and the IRS targeted.

 

It has nothing to do with Republicans.

I understand that, but who will be linked to the lawsuit and the IRS investigation? If you don't think the media will connect it (whether true or not) to the republican party, I would strongly disagree. They will.

Lois Lerner may be on the phone with her attorney telling him to get her a deal.

Lost & Found IRS Emails Suggest Smidgen Of Confusion, Or Worse

 

The IRS probably would like to forget Lois Lerner and her emails, but it looks like they may exist after all. Despite the hue and cry, the lost emails are backed up, claims Judicial Watch. The former Director of Tax Exempt Organizations, Lerner allegedly flagged tax-exemption applications of conservative organizations, including Crossroads GPS. But when the whole mess came to light, she refused to testify and was held in contempt of Congress. She could be prosecuted and face jail, though that’s unlikely.

The IRS told Congressional investigators that many of Lois Lerner’s emails prior to 2011 are missing. Her computer crashed and her hard drive was ‘recycled.’ The IRS says it went to great lengths and spent nearly $10 million to produce more than 750,000 documents. Those are $10 million of our tax dollars, correct?

Exasperated, President Obama said there was “not even a smidgen of corruption” to Fox News in February. Congress requested all Ms. Lerner’s emails from early 2009 to April 2011. After promising to turn them over, on Friday June 13th, the IRS said it couldn’t find them. IRS Commissioner John Koskinen testified that they were just gone.

But now, a government lawyer says the long-missing emails were backed up after all. Judicial Watch is suing the IRS over its failure to provide the records to Congress. The organization’s President Tom Fitton told Fox News ’that it turns out the federal government backs up all computer records in case something terrible happens in Washington and there is a catastrophe, so the government can continue operating.’

The DOJ attorney said ‘it would be too hard to go and get Lois Lerner’s emails from that backup system. So everything we’ve been hearing about scratched hard drives, about missing emails of Lois Lerner, [and] other IRS officials, other officials in the Obama administration,’ Fitton told Fox, ‘it’s all been a pack of malarkey.’

‘And there’s no such thing as Lois Lerner’s missing e-mails,’ he insisted. ‘It’s all been a big lie. They’ve been lying to the courts, to the American people and to Congress.’ IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told a congressional panel June 20th that Ms. Lerner’s hard drive ‘was recycled then destroyed’ because ‘it was determined that it was dysfunctional and that, with experts, no emails could be retrieved.’

The FBI is investigating whether Lerner or others broke federal laws by targeting conservative groups or covering it up. Federal Judge Emmet Sullivan required IRS officials to sign sworn statements describing efforts to recover the Lerner emails. Not one mentioned a backup system where the emails might still exist.

‘We want to know why they hadn’t told the court about this backup system,’ Fitton told Fox. ‘If this backup system is working, Lois Lerner’s emails are there.’ Judicial Watch could ask Judge Sullivan to rule that the Obama administration has gone out of its way to avoid turning over documents that it knew were readily available.

An IRS information technology official, Stephen Manning, wrote that there was ‘no record of any attempt by any IRS IT employee to recover data from any Blackberry device assigned to Lois Lerner in response to the congressional investigations or this litigation.’ IRS sworn declarations were filed in response to Judge Emmet G. Sullivan’s order. Meanwhile, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Regulatory Affairs Subcommittee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) today sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.

All those who bought the IRS lies hook, line, and sinker are pretty scarce.

Any time you guys want to cite a source other than Tom Fitton, whose source is listed as "a government lawyer",

I'll read what you have. Until then, not so much.

Get the fawk out of here. There's a back up system?

You don't like Judicial Watch... a conservative group that sued Clinton a ton, then when questioned they decided they better look at a few republicans (finally Bush) too so that they don't look like they are just singling out democrats?

Now they just keep going after Obama...

The irony of that group going after the IRS for mostly targeting one type of group is pretty strong.

Assassination group.

 

I thought you lefties didn't like this kind of talk.......or was your outrage reserved for Sarah Palin saying the Reps would "target" certain districts? We were told that caused a mass murder, so you may want to walk back the incendiary rhetoric.

[Recliner Pilot 61]

If only the IRS targeted lib groups as well. Then the lawsuit wouldn't look so one sided.

[paulinstl 296]

In July 2013, Fitton was identified as a key member of Groundswell, a secretive coalition of right wing activists and journalists attempting to make radical political change behind the scenes, whose members met in the offices of Judicial Watch

 

 

 

 

Groundswell is the name of a secretive coalition of Conservative activists and journalists exposed in July 2013.^[1] The group started out meeting in the offices of the Conservative legal group Judicial Watch in early 2013 and includes members such as Ginni Thomas (wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas), former Rep. Allen West, Executive Stephen Bannon of Breitbart News, former US Ambassador John Bolton and Catherine Engelbrecht, True the Vote founder.^[2][3]

According to leaked documents, the group is staging "a 30 front war seeking to fundamentally transform the nation"^[1] by such goals as undermining the power of former GOP strategist and Fox News analyst Karl Rove^[4] along with pushing scandals such as the Benghazi bombing and the Operation Fast and Furious gun-running issue,^[5] repealing the Affordable Care Act, working behind the scenes to enact voter ID laws, and blocking Obama administration nominees.^[1]

like lerner ?

[crackattack 520]

Only if the investigators were as smart as the posters who knew, this would be over by now....no? I stand by my initial assessment that millions and years will have been spent/wasted, all for a lower level government employee. Yes I consider lois Lerner a lower level nobody. Most certainly not worth the time and resources spent. Congrats I guess

Release the documents a judge orders you to and they don't "come after you". Remember when Obama said he was going to run a transparent administration? Hope and change?

Don't forget perjury doesn't help you make the case for the most transparent administration in history.

Never said those things aren't bad. Is this your first time following politics? Have you never followed history or other preidents? This is damn near common practice.

So since you say it is common practice we should just roll with it and look the other way?
