Lois Lerner's Drive


Recommended Posts

So the initial damage was caused by someone who knew nothing about hardware?

Makes sense, considering the IRS still trying to push the BS that the backups, as well as recipient data, were also wiped out simultaneously by a "crash."

 

Reminds me of all those movies/shows where someone takes a hammer to a laptop and we're supposed to accept the data inside was destroyed. "Hey moron, you just broke the monitor, the hdd stil works!!"

Her use of the mysterious account has prompted speculation into the source of the name.

 

“Toby Miles,” according to a former Lerner colleague, is the name of Lerner’s dog: Toby is the dog’s name, and Miles is the surname of Lerner’s husband, Michael Miles.

 

The IRS disclosed the existence of the second account in a legal filing as part of its ongoing battle with the right-leaning investigative group Judicial Watch.

“In addition to e-mails to or from an e-mail account denominated ‘Lois G. Lerner’ or ‘Lois Home,’ some e-mails responsive to Judicial Watch’s’s request may have been sent to or received from a personal e-mail account denominated ‘Toby Miles,’” a lawyer for the agency told Federal District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan.

Look I don't trust this broad but it could actually be her dog's email account. My hamster Sammy has one.

First on CNN: Former IRS official will not face charges for targeting political groups http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/23/politics/lois-lerner-no-charges-doj-tea-party/index.html

 

 

 

 

So the Obama Department of Justice won't bring charges against the Obama IRS for targeting Obama's enemies? Shocking.

 

 

They didn’t find what they didn’t want to find.

 

 

Every lawless act by a government official pushes the country closer to a critical mass of people who think that government is illegitimate.

 

And yes, there's a partisan double standard. Look at the Rick Perry prosecution or the John Doe investigation.

 

 

Methinks that incoming (probably) Speaker Ryan can unite the party with some deserved budget cuts to the bad actor agencies, IRS, ATF

There will be no charges against former IRS official Lois Lerner or anyone else at the agency, the Justice Department said in a letter.

The probe found “substantial evidence of mismanagement, poor judgment and institutional inertia leading to the belief by many tax-exempt applicants that the IRS targeted them based on their political viewpoints. But poor management is not a crime.”

 

 

 

So now the Department of Justice has decided that lying to Congress, improperly releasing taxpayer information to political allies, destroying records, and anything else you want to do in service of the Obama administration is just mismanagement and ineptitude if you are caught.

 

One of the first tasks of a Republican president, should we elect one, is to carry out a ruthless purge of the Civil Service in general and the Department of Justice in particular.

I wonder if anyone in the private sector can use this excuse going forward?

And just imagine Trump or Clinton taking advantage of this precedent.

Of course not. The private sector must be held accountable to the people. Unlike the government.

Sure the private sector can you this as often as they like. They already do. So sure mismanagement won't land you in jail in the private sector but unlike the public sector it will usually land you in the unemployment line.

These people are outright criminals. Her and Hillary should be in jail. Certainly one of us would be. Since I avoid msm almost completely does anyone even mention this or even her at all?

This conduct is not only accepted currently it's condoned.There is no honor or trust left in the U.S. government.When one ponders the sacrifice of the founding fathers it only makes these people seem more disgusting.

The Banana Republic of America
by Jazz Shaw

 

The American justice system is not without its flaws as we’ve seen all too many times. A grievous crime is committed and the perpetrator is never discovered. Sometimes there is a suspect who seems to be the perfect candidate but a grand jury doesn’t find sufficient evidence for the prosecutors to move forward. And in other cases, even if you get them to trial a jury doesn’t see things the same way as the public. (O.J anyone?) In very rare cases a pardon can be issued and the system seems to have been short sheeted. (Democrats will always cite Nixon for that one.) But all of these scenarios have one thing in common: the rule of law was followed, the accused were given their fair shot at defending themselves and the republic managed to stumble along on its way.

 

But what if the case never even makes it into the system? If a crime is perceived by the public to have been committed but the government fails to even attempt the prosecution a new problem emerges. Kevin D. Williamson at National Review has looked over the Justice Department’s decision not to pursue a case against Lois Lerner (or anyone at the IRS) and determined that we may be approaching Banana Republic status.

 

I think this makes it clear that the
. Lois Lerner’s cynical, overt politicization of the Internal Revenue Service, and the fact that she and other IRS leaders misled investigators, Congress, and the public about the extent of the IRS’s political shenanigans, undermines the legitimacy of the federal government. DOJ won’t lift a pinky against a friend of the Obama administration. This is banana-republic stuff.

But sometimes the various inspectors general will actually do their jobs and look into allegations of wrongdoing. Lengthy investigations take place and recommendations are made to the Justice Department. But if the person in question is too well established, such as the case of the IGs finding that Huma Abedin could be prosecuted for embezzlement, then Justice can simply shrug their shoulders and turn a blind eye. In case you forgot, here’s how they explained that case to the Washington Post.

 

The “alleged violations” cited were improperly requesting and approving annual leave and “embezzlement,” the documents state.

“The case was not declined based on the merits of the investigation,” stated the final investigative report, dated Jan. 26.

 

Such a designation usually means federal prosecutors decided not to pursue a case, but only because they didn’t think it worth the resources,
not because the facts and evidence couldn’t support a case
.

 

 

Here we have a person who is so tightly joined at the hip to the Democrats’ presidential frontrunner that you’d need a surgical saw (or the bars of a prison) to separate them. Having something as untidy as her being hauled into court for embezzlement would be a tremendous embarrassment to the campaign. So it’s hard to draw any other conclusion than the one reached by Williamson: the Justice Department either could not or would not do their jobs. After more than a year of investigations the case was simply flushed down the drain and Hillary and her assistant went merrily on their way.

 

 

Banana republic stuff indeed.
