"I wonder if Snowden has a copy."

I've been hopeful that someone like that will come up with these documents at some point.


I'm sure it will be too late, though...

We should take the IRS at their word: They are so abysmally incompetent that they store the congressionally-mandated archival copies of email on the sender’s hard drive.

Given that shockingly low level of information security, the organization should be abolished. We should abolish the income tax immediately (collect delinquent taxes and half-year 2014 taxes, but no income tax after that) and replace it with a national sales tax starting July 1, 2014. If they are not willing to follow written law, they should be written out of the law.

Felonies piled on top of felonies. You or I would have had the full weight of the FedGov brought down on us with the resulting jail time and financial ruin.

“We’ve been informed that the hard drive has been thrown away,” said Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, the top Republican on the Finance Committee, in a brief hallway interview.

How about someone tell this idiot what to say??? How about "They may have thrown away Louis Lerners hardware but everyone KNOWS that the emails aren't stored on her hard drive and we're going to dig and investigate until we get them or until we arrest someone."

Believe me, Tommy has no idea how one would permanently delete a person’s emails.
