In 1974 there was 18 minutes of silence on a tape recorder.In 2014 there are several hard drives “recycled” and at least one Blackberry “destroyed”.
There is only a smidgen* of corruption.
(smidgen defined as an area the size of Texas)
It would be no different if Al Capone were running the country ... other than the fact that is corpse probably doesn’t smell as bad as the current administration.
That would be a felony, methinks.
Lois Lerner should already be doing time.
The Most Transparent Administration In Human History Sure Likes To Plead the Fifth,
“The way to make government responsible is to hold it accountable. The way to make government accountable is to make it transparent, so the American people can know exactly what decisions are being made, how they’re being well made, and whether their interests are being well served...For a long time now, there’s been too much secrecy in this city. The old rules said that if there was a defensible argument for not disclosing something to the American people, then it should not be disclosed. That era is now over, starting today.”
Back in those early, heady days, Obama pledged that transparency would be a “touchstone” of his administration. Touchstone - noun - “a standard or criterion by which something is judged or recognized.” Three-and-a-half years later, it’s ignore, deny, scoff, then plead the fifth. Now if only we could get the Vice President to avail himself of his sacred right to remain silent... I’ll leave you with this juicy Politico quote on Obama’s track record on FOIA requests:
“Obama is the sixth administration that’s been in office since I’ve been doing Freedom of Information Act work. … It’s kind of shocking to me to say this, but of the six, this administration is the worst on FOIA issues. The worst. There’s just no question about it,” said Katherine Meyer, a Washington lawyer who’s been filing FOIA cases since 1978. “This administration is raising one barrier after another. … It’s gotten to the point where I’m stunned — I’m really stunned.”

Obstruction of justice.
If a lot of people don’t go to prison over this America as a free nation is truly dead.
Felony count
Someone deserves jail time
Lois Lerner (and others) need to start practicing frog marching.
And blackberry’s messenger service....the lrivate messages that don’t show up in email searches....that would have been interesting to say the least.
Tampering with evidence was a crime the last time I saw.

D’oh!
Lerner needs to be wearing prison stripes for a very long time, IMO.
