    "The IRS’s inspector general confirmed Thursday it is conducting a criminal investigation into how Lois G. Lerner’s emails disappeared, saying it took only two weeks for investigators to find hundreds of tapes the agency’s chief had told Congress were irretrievably destroyed."

    That's no surprise. I think only the folks that Dr. Gruber referred to as fools believed the criminals in the administration. But, the reaction of the fools is outstanding.

    "Democrats questioned the independence of Inspector General J. Russell George, who is overseeing the investigation, saying he’s injected politics into his work."

    That's chutzpah even for the Democrats. The fools have politicized trying to catch criminals. Oh, wait, accomplices are criminals, aren't they?

    I love how these clowns throw Richard Nixon around like an avatar for corruption and this Administration is blatantly evil and corrupt but it's swept under the rug..

    Lerner is a blatant criminal... Do we need to go into others such as Holder?

    That's standard Stalinist behavior: smear the investigator and make the innocent the target.
    When you are guilty that's what you do.

    "Not a smidgen", as you say. Why shouldn't Obama keep on lying his ass off? Who is going to stop him?

    Ok ok, so what does it mean? The IRS with it's thousands of employees have searched for years and could not find not only destroyed e-mails but a smidgen of corruption, and inspector general with his few staff has found tens of thousands in just two weeks? And with NO (*)(*)(*)(*)ing cooperation from IRS? How's this possible? Someone tell me there's not a smidgen of criminal activity in this on behalf of IRS?

    Guilty of something, but not always necessarily what they are being suspected of. Interesting generalization though.

    There ya go assuming that the government lying is a criminal act. Some would insist that, that is their job. Eventually if it is determined that way, someone will become a scapegoat but it will never be the one who gave the order for some strange reason.

    Not really. You plead fifth to not to talk about what you've been suspected in.

    But here is the real good news.

    When the content of those emails are uncovered and displayed to the American people, all the lies and coverups will be exposed.
    Even though Hillary more than likely has noting to do with this, democrats can kiss the 2016 election goodbye!

    Actually so you don't incriminate yourself. Circumstantial evidence that could implicate you into something you had nothing to do with is nothing to laugh about. It could actually destroy a person before they ever get the facts straightened out, and the last thing you want to do is give the government the ammo to (*)(*)(*)(*) your life up over unsubstantiated suspicions and clueless allegations.

    There is a reason for the 5th, but it is usually used in a manner that it originally wasn't intended for.

    Are you on medication? Cuz that wasn't a defense for anything. Just a glimpse into the reality of the situation. Would you put your next paycheck on the fact that whoever orchestrated this idiocy will never be held responsible, and if anybody takes the fall it will be the flunkies?

    Testimony in front of the U.S. Congress yesterday was as follows....

    TO DATE, NO ONE AT THE IRS HAS ASKED THE IT GUYS TO RECOVER THE LOST EMAILS.

    The congress members sat back stunned.

    It is their job to lie about the condition of tapes. Or hard drives. Or emails.

    They have to lie. Its their job. And such.

    In Lois Lerner's own words from her Email...

    “No one will ever believe that both your hard drive and mine crashed within a week of each other.”

    The Obamaland dwellers used to protest this, claiming it was only a witch hunt by the evil and ever satanic Issa....the one named bad guy and trouble maker.

    Now that seems to have evaporated entirely, the only objections now being ...weak nit picking about the 5th amendment. So the "nothing there, move along" strategy has collapsed and now there IS something there.

    I don't think this will be out of the headlines any time soon. Will it become a hard link to the presidency? Likely not, but then it doesn't have to...it is one more brick in the wall for the administration Hillary has so eagerly supported...and that's all you need now.

    The current director of the IRS lied to Congress claiming the tapes had been destroyed, instead of pleading the 5th. Those who administer the back up tapes say they were never even asked for them.

    Unfortunately, those who support Obama or would support Hillary, couldnt care less if Congress and the American people were lied to.

    Please provide a cite for your claim Obama "did it" else be man enough to admit you made it up.

    Then tell us why you support government officials, especially at the IRS, using their power to try and squelch the free speech of private citizens and influence the outcomes of elections.
