Lois Lerner Fights Back
Politico ^ | 6/27/2014 | Rachel Bade

Posted on 06/28/2014 9:46:41 AM PDT by VinceASA

Lois Lerner has no records of two years of missing emails and Republican claims that she’s hiding something are “silly,” her lawyer said in his first interview since the controversy around the former IRS official erupted two weeks ago.

“She doesn’t know what happened,” lawyer William Taylor III said of the 2011 computer crash that erased two years worth of Lerner’s correspondence. “It’s a little brazen to think she did this on purpose.”

"Republican claims that she’s hiding something are “silly,” her lawyer said"

Then why did she plead the fifth?

Let's play a game. Let's pretend you're a taxpayer and you don't send in your return some year. The IRS comes to you and demands to see your financial records. You tell them you don't have any, they were lost when your computer's hard drive crashed.

How do you think they'd respond?

I thought she pleaded The Fifth. Does speaking out rescind that?

Another public servant “fighting back” against hardworking, American taxpayers!

Yeah, exactly. All of a sudden, the IRS has become the left's poor beleaguered hero.

In a Hillary-is-Hot sorta way...probably some kind of weird fetish thing that can be found somewhere on the interwebs.

I was watching some of Trey Gowdy’s greatest hits yesterday in response to her pleading the 5th.
Trey is wonderful, and it boils my blood to have the head of the agency that has all of my private info, and soon my health info sit there and not be held accountable. The gall of these bastar%s is appalling. I loved it when Trey got the new Commish stuttering during questioning last Monday. They are smug, and real change is needed.

ARE WE STILLFREE?

There’s an administrative branch of government?

Yes. It is the part of the government below the Executive branch. They are the career civil service workers, also affectionately known as bureaucrats. The Executive branch is the President, and the cabinet down to the level where congressional confirmation is needed for the appointment. Below that is the Administrative branch, which begins where the positions are filled by being promoted from below.

Starting with Trey Gowdy, Lying Lois Lerner will soon be calling each of the House Republicans with a brief message:

“You’re audited, sucker!”

I would like to see someone introduce legislation that citizens cannot be held to a higher standard of documentation then the government agency they are dealing with.
If the IRS only has to maintain 6 months of records then any citizen dealing with them can only be held to the same standard....

As a woman, your post is offensive...do one involving men and we’ll call it equal.

“If the IRS only has to maintain 6 months of records then any citizen dealing with them can only be held to the same standard.”

Excellent idea! Just as I believe that armed government agents at any level should not be issued weaponry deadlier than anything citizens are permitted to own.

BTW, how long do you keep: bank statements? tax receipts? tax returns? credit card bills? Varies widely as to what’s recommended & what’s required.

The face of evil.

Those emails are certainly going to reveal the extent of the Messiah’s direct involvement. . .otherwise how to explain the extraordinary steps taken to block this data.
