  • Said Sekulow after a lerner interview with a pro-lib rag: “The evidence - including her own emails - is overwhelming and leaves no doubt that as a former top official of the IRS - she clearly was at the center of an unlawful and unconstitutional scheme to target conservatives and keep them on the sidelines during a critical election. The American people will see this interview for what it truly is - a self-serving attempt to change the record - an attempt to re-write history. It won’t work and we remain more committed than ever to get to the full truth behind this disturbing scandal.”

  • I see this b*tch walking around with this smug my-sh*t-don't-stink-look on her face and all I want to do is smack that b*tch up so her Mama will feel it.

    She has something on Obama or on someone big in the administration that is protecting her. From DAY ONE her attitude of ain't-nobody-got-time-to-be-in-this-here-hearing-I-did-nothing-now-am-leaving-b*tch, I KNEW that b*tch was up to something. There is a lot WRONG here and I don't think the GOP actually knows what the hell they are doing. B*tch should have been in prison already a hell of a long time ago where that smug b*tch look would have evaporated and she would have given up whoever.

    Hate this b*tch and all these b*tches involved... they are all freaks.

    • One year I claimed a family member that lived with us for over 6months, and we were his sole support. when he left and got a job, he claimed hims e lf, and MY claim was negated. I did my taxes and turned them in on time. By summer, they froze my accounts because I owed the IRS th e difference in tax anounts. But this bitch is totally unaffected? Bull!

    • Took a really good look at her the other day...

      She looks CRAZY... She has that CRAZY look of someone that is HEAVILY sedated by something in order to keep her from going postal...

      does anyone else noticed that?

  • Issa needs to start throwing people in jail, and have them sit their and rot until what he subpoenaed is produced! Lois Lerner, the smug, condescending bitch, included. I bet it will quickly re-emerge.

  • So if Lois got run over by a truck while crossing a street, we could just say "stuff happens"....

  • The Clintons said the same thing when all those people who were going to testify against them during the Whitewater probe suddenly dropped dead.
    But because congress is full of stupid sackless crooks, they'll just except it and do nothing.

  • Uhm, it's email. What email system is she using that is totally client based and has no presence on a server???? The emails were sent to and from some kind of server, right?

    I use microsoft outlook. I could chuck my computer into the Grand Canyon, throw my iphone into the Atlantic Ocean and the emails would still be on the server. I could take a fire ax to the hard drive and it would still be there in a RAIDed array. I could burn down the building and there are two offsite copies.

    Her hard drive takes a crap and that is the only copy?

    BS

  • "Stuff happens?" The IRS would grind your undies to dust if you tried that excuse with their bureaucracy.

    • Between "My Hard drive ate it" and the Geithner Turbo Tax defense, how can the IRS catch anyone?

  • Especially when you take a hammer to it, and never printed out the hard copies as are required by law.
