Writing yesterday about the IRS’s amazing loss of more than two years of Lois Lerner’s emails (“Where’d they go? They were here just a minute ago!”), I wondered in passing how the Extended White House Public Relations Office, e.g., the New York Times, MSNBC, et al. would handle the news. The Nixon White House, you’ll recall, found quite a lot of the morning’s scrambled on its collective countenance when 18 and 1/2 minutes of audio tape somehow—somehow!—went missing as the Watergate scandal unfolded around the president.
What a godsend to the guardians of our “Right to Know” Watergate was! Day after day, week after week, month after month, the front pages and editorial pages of our former Paper of Record were full of stern admonitions about that egregious abuse of executive power. You could not look at the paper without a synesthetic shudder: Reading it, you could almost hear them licking their chops as their prey—the dastardly Richard Nixon—came ever closer to his doom.
So how does the New York Times handle this extraordinary loss of two years’ worth of Lois Lerner’s emails? (“Really, they were here just a minute ago. We were just about to hand them over to Congress when, gosh darn, they just vanished. Damndest thing.”)
This will amaze you, I know, but it is true: the New York Times today devotes zero words to the story. Take a look at the front page here: Nothing. There are a couple of articles about Iraq’s descent into chaos—Iraq, the country whose transformation Joe Biden, in 2010, called one of the “greatest achievements” of the Obama administration. “I’ve been there 17 times now,” the vice president told Larry King. “I know every one of the major players in all of the segments of that society.

I think the articles are the impeachment ala an indictment. He was not convicted by the senate.

Brought it up to date.
Convicted? No, never convicted... Bill Murray.
We will never see those emails. They have probably been turned into random 1’s and 0’s in whatever backups and archives that had them. Given a whole year to work, some IT pro’s, with access to all the archives, could probably find all of those emails, and overwrite them with random data. They are gone people, disappeared into a black hole.
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
I wonder if the emails were destroyed ordering the destruction of those emails. At last resort, order the NSA to produce those missing emails. I am sure they could recover my emails that I lost when my hard drive died.
Lies and deception is all we get from the Obama Regime.
Zer0, go play another round of golf.
Even this WH and IRS aren’t stupid enough to use the dog-ate-my-homework excuse if they weren’t 100% sure they had disappeared ALL evidence.
Lerner’s lost tapes excuse us just the tip of the ice berg with this administration, what’s another lie to them?
It is mind boggling how many people STILL do not understand this.
That would require a lot of work. And leave a trail
Any decent and American patriot who happened to be Speaker of the House would compel the committee chairman investigating her to be subpoenaed and testify before the committee under oath.
If she does not comply, or if she tries to assert the 5th Amendment privilege protection she nullified in her first appearance, she should be apprehended by the Capitol Police and imprisoned in the basement of the Capitol building until she actually testifies.
There isn’t any point in gamesmanship, posturing, appeasing or having a jelly spine anymore. These people are our deadliest enemies, IMO. They should be in GITMO.
I’d rather have Nixon back alive, as a zombie or a head in a jar
Winger: You mean like flaming?
Russell: No, we're not homosexual...but we ARE willing to learn.
Winger: Yeah, will they send us somewhere special?
I loved Futurama, but never did see many of the toys. If I would have found Nixon’s head, I would have bought it.
