We no longer have a government that is answerable to anyone.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Only Republicans are required to follow those laws, silly.

I’m in the Securities business. FINRA requires such retention. There is no way this is an oversight.

govt bureaucrats warning each other about how to avoid Congressional oversight!! Decent, honest, accountable govt officials would be concerned with how to create the most accurate and comprehensive records for oversight and future planning. Instead, Lerner and friends are concerned only with how to avoid scrutiny of their politicized, dishonest activities....

[emphasis added] “I was cautioning folks about email and how we have had several occasions where Congress has asked for emails and there has been an electronic search for responsive emails — so we need to be cautious about what we say in emails,” Ms. Lerner wrote.

Doesn’t sound as much like a loophole as it does a wilful circumvention of the law.

[uncommonsense]

The SEC and IRS requires companies to log and store all email and text communications.

Rules for thee and not for me.

When are we going to hear from IRS techs who actually understand how their backup system works, and know whether or not IRS IM traffic can be traced.

Just because Lerner's email and IM data is not on her computer does not mean it is not on other computers.

It’s not a “loophole” it’s criminal obviscation of the law.
