Innocent mistake? I’m not buying it.

I was thinking more of issuing a whole bunch of subpoenas to the Unit.

This is how dictators get away with it. No one person can run a dictatorial organization. They have to convince others to do the criminal work.

The mass roundup and judicial oppression relying on local authority piece is in advanced beta testing in Texas.

This politicization of the IRS means we have to get discretionary decisions concerning political speech out of tax computations. The federal bureaucracy has become a threat to freedom, and is using the income tax as its weapon.

IMO that means elimination of the income tax, corporate as well as personal, and replacement of that revenue with a Value-Added Tax. But Congress will never give up the graft opportunities of the income tax.

It is increasingly apparent that federal political corruption has become so bad that preservation of our freedom requires an Article V Constitutional Convention called by state legislatures.

Getting those legislatures to agree to the necessary resolutions won't be easy. Almost all proponents of such a convention simply assume it will happen, on the lines of "wouldn't it be nice". That is, charitably, silly. Uncharitably, it's a masturbatory fantasy for them.

If we want state legislatures to pass resolutions authorizing an Article V Constitution Convention, we must give them some almighty powerful incentives. That is not difficult. We proponents of an Article V Convention should offer them some proposed amendments that will be of immense benefits to individual state legislators, and to state legislatures overall.

Here are two such:

Throw the entire Congress out of office, and bar them from ever returning, so state legislators can replace them and get the much more lucrative graft available to Congressmen and Senators. The wording of such an amendment would be simple:

No person who, as of the effective date of this Amendment, is now serving, or has served, all or any portion of a term in the Senate or House of Representatives may be elected to, appointed to, or sworn in as a Senator or Representative.

Wording of the next Amendment would be tricky, and getting it right will require a lot of work by lawyers, politicians and scholars. My idea is to eliminate unfunded federal mandates, which I define as those required only by federal statutes and regulations as opposed to compliance with the US Constitution. That would free up (my guess, but it isn’t wild-eyed) about 20-30% of all present state budgets for state legislators to happily boon-doggle.

Plus this proposed amendment should require the federal government to reimburse the states for the 5-10 years of unfunded federal mandates prior to the effective date of this amendment. Put a cap on that of about a trillion dollars.

My idea here is to also offer state legislatures a trillion dollar bribe to pass Article V Constitutional Convention resolutions. We’d save a lot more than that in a few years if such a Convention is held and actually proposes amendments for the states to ratify.

US Attorney General Loretta Lynch was placed in that position to MAKE SURE that certain prosecutions don’t happen.

17 more months and maybe, hopefully, at least SOME of these crooks will get seriously investigated by DOJ.

Why isn’t the name(s)of the person/persons who signed the order to degauss the tapes made public?

In all, 422 backup tapes holding the emails were magnetically “degaussed” despite an agency-wide preservation order and congressional subpoena. Degaussing is a process whereby powerful magnets are used to erase data on a storage tape.

If nothing is done about this, then the Republic is over and it's only a matter of time until we become Venezuela.

Gotta keep fighting, but this is very, very bad news.
