It’s an epidemic! Or so it seems in the most transparent administration ever, anyway. Congress has been probing the disastrous rollout of ObamaCare, to find out exactly how the Department of Health and Human Services could have botched the job with three and a half years and nearly a billion dollars to spend. Once again, key records that are required to be retained have been deleted before investigators could see them:
A top U.S. healthcare official involved in the botched rollout of the website HealthCare.gov may have deleted some emails that were later sought by Republican congressional investigators, administration officials said on Thursday.
The emails were from a public email account maintained by Marilyn Tavenner, who heads the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) agency chiefly responsible for implementing President Barack Obama’s healthcare reform law.
What excuse did the Obama administration give? The same excuse as with the IRS:
The letter made no reference to any evidence that Tavenner intentionally hid or destroyed the emails. An administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, attributed the potential loss to “sloppy record keeping”.
Tavenner is no low-level employee from an office in Cincinnati. She ran the agency responsible for the creation of Healthcare.gov and for the waste of hundreds of millions of dollars in its failure. Despite the failure of Healthcare.gov and the disaster of the rollout of the Obama administration’s central policy project, Tavenner still inexplicably remains head of CMS — and perhaps her “sloppy record keeping” might be one reason why.
This isn’t merely inconvenient. It’s a violation of federal records retention law.

When they know they can get away with it, of course they are going to milk that excuse for all its worth.

The “lost e-mails” is the new and modern version of “dog ate homework”. At least for feral gov types.
About the only thing the obozo cabal hasn’t done - - YET - - is have zero or holder standup and offer Congress the middle finger salute.
“the Dog,,,,Ate...my email”
Congress should stop all funding to any department that uses this excuse. Shut these agencies down until they start playing by the rules. Congress needs to remind them of who they work for. Put these people out of a job until they behave like employees.
Most transparent admininstration in history, except that ......, emails disappear, hard drives get smoked, files are lost, but only the ones that might hold something incriminating.
Most transparent? Yeah right!
