When Claire McCaskill burns you with a “quickened fireball” after you fail your saving throw, you KNOW there is trouble.
Deliberate destruction of government records is a crime. Not being aware of a situation he certainly should have been aware of is inexcusable incompetence. But speaking with such arrogance to elected officials by a cheap highly placed political hack who is no more than the biggest bureaucrat in the IRS is simply unforgivable.
If he speaks that way to them, you can imagine what this pompous arrogant ass thinks of us. His salary should be cut from the IRS budget to force a replacement.
He learned from the best (worst) - Obama.
Terrible job communicating?
That’s the Obama default excuse. ‘I’m right but you’re too dense to get it.’
I understood the IRS commissioner completely. I just don’t believe a word he says.
Big difference.
They must have figured out how silly they all look apologizing to the IRS for conducting congressional oversight.
Yeh Claire -- there are better ways of "being arrogant" than this so obvious one.
Is Claire’s”Seat”up for grabs?It SURE sounds like it??The ONLY”RATS”that asked Koskinen anything more controversial than whether he had been inconvenienced by last night’s hearing are those whose seats are”Questionable”???
They recognize that the optics are HORRENDOUS!
There are several IRS locations. My guess is that ALL 90,000 IRS employees emails are not stored on that one server. So we need the data backups from ALL exchange servers from that time period. Set up a lab with exchange and restore all of them . Then look for emails from LOIS.
You would have to believe that all copies of all data backup of every exchange server on the $2 billion per year system have been deleted. Somebody made a copy somewhere. Somebody put something on a usb drive (IF IRS allows them to work on their machines)
If the head of the IRS was Black, you wouldn’t hear a peep from any Democrat unless it was them pulling out the Race Card.
Does anyone remember Harold Raines from the Fannie / Freddie Hearings? The guy makes $90 Million Dollars running Fannie / Freddie into the ground and Maxine Waters was all a flutter, along with every Democrat in attendance.
And yes, good old Harold was 50% Blacker than Obama.
“a terrible job communicating”
Clair, what part of F U do you not understand?
The Democrats will need to start running for cover on this one.
Outside of the inner cities, the “IRS is doing a great job” is going to wipe them out in November.
Air Claire is thinking about running for the White House.
Wow. If you’ve lost McCaskill, you’ve lost the loony Kool-aid drinkers. She was one of the first Obama zombies.
Thousands are treading water, and many more have sunk from sight...
Nobody, rat or not, wants to be in the position of defending the IRS against people they are abusing.
