Oh what a tangled web is weaved…. How is it possible for the DOJ to be investigating an agency they themselves have colluded with to target political opponents? 

(Via The Washington Post)  Congress had little opportunity to debate the Internal Revenue Service’s missing-e-mail controversy while on break during the past month, but lawmakers will have plenty to talk about when they return next week.
One question likely to come up is why the IRS wiped out Lois Lerner’s Blackberry shortly after congressional staffers interviewed the then-IRS official about suspected targeting of conservative groups.
So far, the IRS has provided no answer.
The issue came to light last month after U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan ordered the IRS to explain its efforts to recover emails that went missing when the former official’s hard drive crashed in 2011. (more…)

Based on our research those emails contain communication between the IRS and the Department of Justice.   As we have drilled down the trail, it’s almost certain the communication was about specifically targeting the groups created by the 33 illegally distributed “Schedule B’s”.

Those Schedule B’s created a list of entities to target. Those entities became the subject of various agency scrutiny beyond the IRS. [Agencies like EEO, Dept of Labor, ATF and OSHA.]  Targeting coordinated by the DOJ

WASHINGTON DC – A Justice Department official admitted that former IRS official Lois Lerner’s apparently missing emails actually exist on a backup server, but the government doesn’t plan to retrieve them.
“A Department of Justice attorney told a Judicial Watch attorney on Friday that it turns out the federal government backs up all computer records in case something terrible happens in Washington and there’s a catastrophe, so the government can continue operating,” Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton told Fox News’ Shannon Bream.
“But it would be too hard to go get lois lerner’s emails from that backup system,” Fitton continued, paraphrasing the DOJ official. (read more)

Of all the various “scandals” that emanate from the current administration the single most alarming, and by consequence the single most dangerous, stem from the DOJ weaponizing the IRS.   Every single known fact points to a singular logical conclusion.

I know the general sight of an almost two hour video is alarming, let along a congressional hearing….. Yikes.
…… but if you forward the video to the 1:04:00 mark I think you might enjoy more than several minutes of the back and forth.

In the fall of 2011 we quit thinking of Ann Coulter in any terms other than a sporadically useful, but generally inconsistent, establishment GOP talking head.  In short, a “Romneybot”.
A recent article reminds us not only why it was so easy to come to that conclusion, but also why this ex-girlfriend of Bill Maher is actually a raving Moonbat.
Before reading what she actually wrote in a recent article entitled “Eyes On The Prize – Chris McDaniel Supporters Should Work To Take Back The Senate“, it should be absolutely necessary to remind ourselves of her book topic:
“Mugged – Racial Demagoguery From The Seventies To Obama”.
Why is this book so profoundly relevant to the article she has penned?   Because the entire premise of her McDaniel article is, well, filled with racial demagoguery.
Here’s an excerpt (emphasis mine):

[…] “It also doesn’t look great having alleged Republican activists claiming that any votes from blacks in a GOP primary were fraudulent. It so happens that Cochran has always won a fair portion of the black vote–and the Democrat vote”.

Setting aside the elitist framing of the words “alleged Republican activists“, because we all know that only people of her high brow approved caliber are real Republican activists right?   How does she make the leap from fraudulent democrat votes, the actual substance of the issue at hand, to “blacks in a GOP primary”?

WASHINGTON DC – The head of the IRS confirmed Wednesday that investigators looking into missing emails from ex-agency official Lois Lerner have found and are reviewing “backup tapes” — despite earlier IRS claims that the tapes had been recycled. (more…)

Against the Backdrop of two court rulings declaring the IRS must present specific legal outlines to support their position(s) –missing or corrupted IRS emails– things get interesting.   The legal clock is ticking down to court mandated affidavit deadlines.
As previously shared “The Absolute Truth” takes on a new dimension when officials must swear under oath, in federal court, and under penalty of perjury.

Stay tuned in to this story – eventually you will be describing it to your grandchildren.

From our research it appears to be the BIGGEST STORY in the history of U.S. political corruption and conspiracy.   We have followed the trail, connected the dots so far, pored over thousands of documents, hours of testimony and dozens of interviews.    The entire trail leads not to the IRS, but to the DOJ.   The IRS was the weapon; Lois Lerner was the “trigger”; But Eric Holder was the entity holding, targeting and aiming.

Washington, DC – Despite early refusals to make available IT professionals who worked on Lois Lerner’s computer, Ways and Means Committee investigators have now learned from interviews that the hard drive of former IRS Exempt Organizations Director Lois Lerner was “scratched,” but data was recoverable.
In fact, in-house professionals at the IRS recommended the Agency seek outside assistance in recovering the data. That information conflicts with a July 18, 2014 court filing by the Agency, which stated the data on the hard drive was unrecoverable – including multiple years’ worth of missing emails. (more…)

Yes, this is related to the post directly underneath.

House Oversight Committee Investigation Unit – During a transcribed interview with congressional investigators on Thursday, July 17, IRS Deputy Associate Chief Counsel Thomas Kane, who supervises the IRS’s targeting scandal document production to Congress, testified that new developments now make him uncertain whether e-mail back-up tapes containing lost e-mails from key IRS targeting official Lois Lerner exist or not.

The new testimony is at odds with the June 13, 2014, memo sent to Sens. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT) by the IRS which reported that the IRS, “Confirmed that back-up tapes from 2011 no longer exist because they have been recycled.”  Kane had reviewed the June 13 memo but noted his current uncertainty with investigators.

Kane and a Committee investigator had the following exchange during Thursday’s transcribed interview: (more…)

WASHINGTON DC – Days after IRS officials said in a sworn statement that former top agency employee Lois G. Lerner’s computer memory had been wiped clean, the agency put out word to contractors Monday that it needs help to destroy at least another 3,200 hard drives.

The Internal Revenue Service solicitation for “media destruction” services reflects an otherwise routine job to protect sensitive taxpayer information, but it was made while the agency’s record destruction practices remain under a sharp congressional spotlight.
Congressional investigators of the IRS targeting of conservative groups have been hampered by the unexplained destruction of emails and other records of Ms. Lerner, the former head of the IRS tax-exempt division and a central figure in the scandal.
The loss of Ms. Lerner’s hard drive also raised broader questions about why the tax agency never reported the missing records to the National Archives and Records Administration, as required by the Federal Records Act. (more…)
