And no one pays.

[newnhdad]

wasn’t there a judge’s order involved here? Isn’t that perjury?

[mware]

I did hear Mitch say last night that the IRS investigation would continue.

[Ray76]

They were ordered by a court and they didn’t even look????

Slammer time!

[joshua c]

Who was led out in handcuffs?

I know, I know, dumb question.

[Steely Tom]

Modified Limited Hangout.

[lee martell]

Line them up and slap all of their dirty faces, while yelling “Fools!”, Three Stooges Style.

[mware]

I think they did a document dump on Friday

Later on in the article:

“Judicial Watch lawyers reviewed the IRS court filings and concluded that the agency “did not undertake any significant efforts to obtain the emails.”

IRS attorneys conceded that they had failed to search the agency’s servers for missing emails because they decided that “the servers would not result in the recovery of any information.” They admitted they had failed to search the agency’s disaster recovery tapes because they had “no reason to believe that the tapes are a potential source of recovering” the missing emails. And they conceded that they had not searched the government-wide back-up system because they had “no reason to believe such a system … even exists.”

Good! It’s about time the court sees what the American public has to deal with non-stop.

How do you like it your honor?

Well we don’t either!!!

[OneWingedShark]

IIRC those docs were for Fast & Furious, not the IRS's scandals.

[mware]

The ones released on Friday were the ones Holder was trying to keep under wraps claiming Executive Privilege.

[purplelobster]

It’s time that Barry, Holder and Lerner were frogmarched out of the White House in handcuffs.

[mware]

You are correct. I got the wrong scandal

[Diogenesis]

Judge Sullivan’s delay will show the DC circuit
impotent ... or on the take.

[Colonel_Flagg]

I did hear Mitch say last night that the IRS investigation would continue.

He probably just wants to give them a few new ideas.

[Lurker]

Technically it’s contempt.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

If I remember my Perry Mason training right it is contempt of court. If you are ordered to do something and you do not do it I think you can be held in contempt. But I’m no lawyer.

If you then lie about what happened under oath it is also perjury. So I guess saying they were lost when they were not even looked for would fall under both of those categories.

Their yearly budget is over $11 billion and since 2010 they spend over ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS on **FURNITURE**.

WHAT will it take to get their attention?

[Sacajaweau]

Good grief....
