The Internal Revenue Service is required by federal law to keep records of all agency emails and to print out hard copies of the emails to make sure they get saved in the event of a computer glitch.
The IRS recently claimed that it lost 24,000 of 67,000 emails that ex-official Lois Lerner sent between 2009 and 2011, due to a computer crash. The IRS, which agreed to turn over all of Lerners emails to the House Committee on Ways and Means, specifically lost emails Lerner sent to other Obama administration agencies and the White House. Lerner is a major figure in the targeting scandal that has hit the IRS.
Meanwhile, President Barack Obamas press secretary, Josh Earnest, backed up the IRSs claim of a computer crash. The IRS claimed that it is currently working to retrieve the emails by working with the other agencies, which are not obligated by the IRSs agreement with the Ways and Means Committee to cooperate.
The [Federal Records Act] requires agencies to make and preserve records of agency decisions, policies, and essential transactions, and to take steps to safeguard against the loss of agency records, said House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa, who subpoenaed IRS Commissioner John Koskinen Monday.

Agreed. It is a covert coup against the people, and should be prosecuted as such. I feel the same way about vote fraud.
Vote fraud in any form should be a capital offense.
There’s a law? So what?
Here’s the law: They must, if they chose to.....or.....nothing.
These anti-Rule-of-Law degenerates throughout government need brought to9 justice. These psychopaths just care about their bonuses, their pay and their cushy retirement. Freaks! Everyone in their neighborhoods, their relatives and everyone else should shun these asses.

need brought to justice.
This is what lawlessness looks lile
It was a Cleansing , Dude
There was a nationwide IRS morale building group canoe trip, and all the IRS employees had all their PC hard drives and all the paper copies of their emails with them, and they all just accidentally lost everything when the canoe tipped over somewhere in the middle of that river!
What river was that you may ask?
Well, nobody is really certain because they were all bussed to the river in small groups, and everyone just assumed someone else, we think his name was Bob, was in charge and kept official records of the strictly voluntary and private, taxable group outing.
Wow!
The IRS must be as bad at boating as FR gun owners!
So? Since when does law or its reuirments matter to the Oval Office and its tail wagging lackey department heads and other higher ups?
So, if the government isn't required to "follow the law", are us peasants required to "follow the law", or not?
Oh, that's right - if a peasant doesn't "follow the law", he or she will be shot and killed by the government's storm troopers.
LOL! Great post.
DAMN that Bob! He's always screwing up!
We could fire him, if only we knew his last name.
Laws? Laws? We don’t need no dirty, stink in’ laws.
As a reprimand, Bob was given a four-week suspension with full pay and a warning that if it ever happened again, he would be given another four-week suspension with full pay.
LOL. Great analogy!
I’d like to know what the president doesn’t know, and when he stopped knowing it.
