WASHINGTON – Incredulous lawmakers tore into IRS Commissioner John Koskinen over the agency's claims that subpoenaed emails of ex-official Lois Lerner and other employees are gone forever because a hard drive was destroyed.
“This is unbelievable," Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., angrily told Koskinen. That’s your problem. Nobody believes you.”

There's a problem right there. Guy's been lying his whole life and no one's called him on it.
That’s the first time anyone’s said I don’t believe you.”

Instead of theatrics, why not engage in meaningful action such as taking away the power of the IRS to issue tax exemption rulings for starters?
We all know that, at the very least, the IRS needs to be broken up to curb its abuses.

IRS is the agency Obama put in charge of health care accounts, billings and medical records.

The buck stops with him (in the IRS). He is responsible. He should do time and lose his federal pension.

Congress, if they haven’t already, should subpoena the IRS disaster recovery plan or business continuity plan. That will say in black and white (oops, can I still say that?) anyway will spell out their recovery procedures with plan A and plan B.

It’s all kabuki theater. The Republicans need, and use the IRS against the public just as much as the Democrats. So, the plan is, fake some outrage, score some points, shake hands and move on.
You know something is total garbage when Darrell Issa sticks his nose in it.

So what?
What action did Paul Ryan actually take in this matter?
Because I really don’t give a damn if he spoke harsh words.
Why does this criminal agency still exist?
Why are we paying for this?

Attention Paul Ryan: The LACK OF TRUST you have in OBAMA regarding this IRS matter MUST INFORM your willingness to trust him on IMMIGRATION!
To: SoFloFreeper
The small font that you used on that post does not grant the import it much deserves. If Obama cannot be trusted, then he can’t be trusted. Period.

Punish them under the same guidelines the IRS would use to punish a major, perjurious tax evader.
