How Litigating Lost E-mails Works
The American Thinker ^ | 7-29-14 | Bruce Walker

Posted on 07/29/2014 5:34:13 PM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

On July 4, 2014, I wrote an article, “Litigating Lost E-mails,” which proposed using federal judges to compel corrupt bosses to the IRS to force the Obama administration to tell the truth about the “lost” e-mails or face the consequences of lying to federal judges.

What I proposed was to do what Democrats did forty years ago this month to Nixon. The case filed against Nixon in United States District Court was decided on May 31, 1974, and the case was argued before the Supreme Court on July 8, 1974. The unanimous decision (Justice Rehnquist recused himself) was decided barely two weeks later on July 24, 1974.

The political impact of that decision was immediate and seismic. Fifteen days after the decision, Richard Nixon became the first president to resign from office. Three months later, Republicans suffered enormous losses, which included not only Congress, but also state legislative races... ~snip~

Two federal judges in the last couple of weeks have issued very plain, direct, and uncompromising orders to the IRS with tight timeframes. As I noted in my earlier article, there is no good response the IRS can make to these orders. Judges – really, any judge – deeply resent being lied to with a straight face. That sort of behavior shows clear contempt for their authority. There is no reason to doubt for a moment that the absurdly fabricated lies told to Congress by IRS officials will be accepted by these two judges.

~snip~

Would Lois Lerner or John Koskinen spend more than a few days in a stark jail cell with the toothbrush before squealing? Consider that for these offenses against judicial authority there is no presidential pardon possible. Lerner and Koskinen are aware of that, because both of them are lawyers.

New Inconsistencies with Malik Obama’s IRS Paperwork Revealed on Eve of Hearing
the date stamped at the top of the Barack H. Obama Foundation’s 501(c)(3) approval letter
which bears Lerner’s signature, is dated June 26, 2011. That day was on a Sunday.

Lois Lerner approved tax exempt status for foundation
operated by Obama's half-brother on a Sunday

Deleted IRS Emails may be about Obama’s Brother
There is sufficient cause to believe that one of the reasons for
this digital document shredding may have something to do with
President Barack Obama’s brother, Malik Obama,
founder of the Barack H. Obama Foundation (BHOF).

There's the stick - no pardon carrot.

Yes, and rolled back the exemption to 2008 BEFORE BHO was elected.

We can hope but unfortunately the law means nothing to this regime and the opposition party leadership is too spineless to stand up to the boy king.
