The nation's top archivist says the Internal Revenue Service did not follow the law when it failed to report the loss of records belonging to a senior IRS executive.

David Ferriero says federal law requires that government agencies must notify the National Archives and Records Administration when it becomes aware that federal records are lost.

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said that he has seen no evidence anyone committed a crime when the agency lost emails. I wonder what he will have to say now??

I fear they will suddenly “Find” the lost E-mails only after they have “sanitized them”......

We need more laws.

We need more funding.

We need more Ammunition.

We need more surveilence.

We need more hope-n-change.

The Obama liberal argument to anything limiting the powers of an out of control federal government with it's populace in the crosshairs.

It is their illegal, fictitious personae emails they need to look for. Like at the EPA...

The end result of all this will be a bigger budget for the IRS, and better jobs for all involved.

Now that bureaucratic regulations have caught them naked, maybe THEY will be pushing for fewer of them too!

Be funny if the Lord could finesse this into having the IRS support libertarian philosophy. Because the tiger they ride is getting hungry.

Not likely. There’s one set of rules for the “elites” and other set of rules for the “rubes”.

Anybody that knows anything about emails knows that this whole “my hard drive crashed” thing is a blatant excuse, at the same level of credibility as “the dog ate my homework” except that we all know that dogs CAN sometimes eat homework...and we also know that there are so many redundant copies of any email that what they are claiming is virtually impossible.

Like claiming that the dog at the homework that was on the laptop.

Can we at least arrest IRS Commissioner John Koskinen over this?

(I know, I’m dreaming)

Rubes should rube it in. The liberals scoff outwardly but they know inwardly that America has their number now.

He'll just say he learned from the best.

MOST email systems are based on a central server anyhow. If it is Microsoft Outlook, you can log in from any place and get your messages.

Normally the IRS would have a fierce interest in keeping everything in the event they are hauled into tax court. They can show that they had a “reason” to go after this taxpayer or that one for an alleged tax debt.

Wow--just used your link (THANK YOU!) and the comments are really telling! 350 so far, and the first 20+ I took time to read are ALL expressing --to varying degrees--outrage with the IRS's claim they just failed to "follow the law"!

This story has some legs--and hopefully attached to them are some boots big enough to stomp all over the liars and thieves which have in infested the Obamanation!

They are looking for outgoing messages to different agencies. If no one was copied internally, then those types message have a better chance of eventually disappearing.
