Nixon: "I am not a crook." -- Impeached for covering up a political break in.
Obama: "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor." -- ignored for destroying the nation's health care system.

RE: Nixon: “I am not a crook.” — Impeached for covering up a political break in.
Nixon was not impeached. He resigned rather than subject himself or the entire nation to the spectacle of an impeachment proceeding.
Clinton on the other hand...

This report has to be false. If the IRS is like NASA (since the GAO pretty much determines computer policies for all government agencies) the computers and servers are backed up NIGHTLY. It is literally IMPOSSIBLE for Lois Lerner’s computer to crash and lose emails. At NASA, the emails don’t even reside on the local machine. The Exchange Email server holds the emails and is backed up nightly.
Put it this way, if the emails ARE actually lost, several people should go to prison for multiple violations of the law.
But, those emails aren’t lost. Destroyed? Oh yeah, I can see that. Removed from servers and backups and destroyed. I wouldn’t doubt that.
Remember, the law doesn’t apply to Obama. He can just issue an executive order ordering all of her emails to be lost and VOILA, emails are gone.

Questions for the NSA.
Whatever the IRS loses is stored, FOREVER, in the files of the NSA.
After all, the NSA has searchable recordings of all emails by EVERYBODY, so that NOTHING can ever be lost.
A simple Freedom of Information request by Judicial Watch is all that is needed.

“Maybe I am naive, but I wouldnt be surprised if those missing two years worth of emails does for Obama what the missing 18 1/2 minutes of audio tape did for Richard Nixon.”
MAYBE he’s naive? He is DEFINITELY naive.

Yup. They will never be recovered, even if the govt let someone try to recover the. They are brazen enough to claim they were “lost,” we can be damn sure they removed them from servers and destroyed backups. Accidentally, of course. Those emails are gone forever.

The "report" is false on so many levels it isn't even worth discussing, so I'll just paste what I've posted before.
The claim that the IRS "lost" two years worth of Lois Lerner's emails -- but just those with "outside agencies" is laughable nonsense because:
- The ingoing and outgoing servers are different machines. They couldn't "lose" both her emails TO outside agencies and her emails FROM outside agencies unless both machines had crashes.
- There are copies of most of these emails on both Lerner's desktop and on the desktops of her correspondents.
- The email servers of government agencies don't store their emails on a single disk drive, but on RAID arrays. When operations gets a diagnostic that a disk in the array has failed, they pop it out, and pop a replacement drive in. Because the RAIDs (5,6, or 10) used have redundancy, no data is lost. They're also hot-swappable. Users are not even aware that a disk has failed.
- The email servers are backed up [at least] daily.
- The daily backups are also backed up weekly.
- The weekly backups are also backed up to archives.
- The archives are stored in remote nearline storage farms and/or offline digital tape as well.
- There would be many, multiple, overlapping backups through out this entire period.
- The NSA has a record of all of these emails.
The "report" consists of nothing more or less than a claim that the IRS can't turn in its homework, because a dog ate one corner of a copy of it.
Anyone who buys this story is a complete dimwit.

Clinton on the other hand...Unfortunately, Clinton wasn't inpeached either. The Senate refused to act on the Articles of Impeachment prepared by the House.
Remember all the Senate RATS gathering outside on the Senate steps in their overcoats in a rally for Clinton?
