IRS commissioner: You know, e-mail isn’t necessarily an “official record” – IRS Manual says it is. “By the way, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen came to that job from being Chairman of Freddie Mac during the housing bust.” The best and the brightest… all work somewhere else.

IRS commissioner: You know, e-mail isn’t necessarily an “official record”...well if he can say that while the IRS manual says otherwise, then we can all say,...."You know tax returns mean nothing and they are not an official record".......watch them have a cow...
IRS commissioner: You know, e-mail isn’t necessarily an “official record”
From the Sonosoft Website:
Email has been growing at the rate of 40% every year and managing emails has become very complex. Microsoft Exchange Server is not only being used as an email server, it is also being used as a document repository and management system. Businesses are being increasingly asked to retrieve emails during litigation. Also companies need to comply with regulatory compliance requirements like Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA. According to Sarbanes-Oxley, public companies must keep all documents and communications for seven years following an audit. The penalties for destroying or altering a document can include fines of up to $5 million and imprisonment for up to 20 years. Hence, Email is becoming the Achilles heel of document and records management.
This is why indictments need to come down but who is going to prosecute?
We will need to wait for a new administration, because this one won't do a damned thing.
Can a special prosecutor appointed by Congress do it?
More to the point, will Boehner go there?
A special prosecutor can do anything they are tasked to do, that's how Clinton got impeached, but King Barky seems to be the Teflon Don of politicians, and anyone that challenges his authority seems to end up in hot water.
Frigging liars all, it's orange jumpsuit time. Until then, it's just a bunch of tax fattened crooks lying to each other for fun and profit.
Try telling that to some who are now sitting in prison or who have lost millions for using email. This smuck ass hat things he and the IRS are just above it all. The dim wits on the committee if they could've, would've sat at the table and hugged and kissed all over his lying ass
Koskinen should've been read his rights and informed that he would be facing perjury charges.
Over at Satireworld we need to hire this Texan....
What democrat fund-raising lawyer is advising this guy? Why make up lies on the spot when you can do it better later and let your buddies in the MSM spread them properly? You should have taken the 5th or used the Clinton "I don't recall" routine. It's in the democrat party playbook dude.
Because, after all, what difference does it make?
They had plenty of time, and tons of high paid attorneys, to make up lies BEFORE walking into the room. If this, or pleading the fifth, is the best they can do, time for a perp walk.

I would like to audit him in a dark alley....
Abolish the IRS, & go with a simple 10-15% flat rate, & do the same for corporate rates. It would work better then the corrupt & immoral system we currently have.
See, you Koch-funded, denialist homophobic racists on the right just don't get it: rules are for second-class citizens such as taxpayers and veterans. Government workers - enlightened, compassionate, and altruistic - have your best interests at heart, and thus are subject only to guidelines, which allow them the flexibility needed to solve your petty problems. And, as always, shut up.
