Against the Backdrop of two court rulings declaring the IRS must present specific legal outlines to support their position(s) –missing or corrupted IRS emails– things get interesting.   The legal clock is ticking down to court mandated affidavit deadlines.
As previously shared “The Absolute Truth” takes on a new dimension when officials must swear under oath, in federal court, and under penalty of perjury.

Stay tuned in to this story – eventually you will be describing it to your grandchildren.

From our research it appears to be the BIGGEST STORY in the history of U.S. political corruption and conspiracy.   We have followed the trail, connected the dots so far, pored over thousands of documents, hours of testimony and dozens of interviews.    The entire trail leads not to the IRS, but to the DOJ.   The IRS was the weapon; Lois Lerner was the “trigger”; But Eric Holder was the entity holding, targeting and aiming.

Washington, DC – Despite early refusals to make available IT professionals who worked on Lois Lerner’s computer, Ways and Means Committee investigators have now learned from interviews that the hard drive of former IRS Exempt Organizations Director Lois Lerner was “scratched,” but data was recoverable.
In fact, in-house professionals at the IRS recommended the Agency seek outside assistance in recovering the data. That information conflicts with a July 18, 2014 court filing by the Agency, which stated the data on the hard drive was unrecoverable – including multiple years’ worth of missing emails. (more…)

Yes, this is related to the post directly underneath.

House Oversight Committee Investigation Unit – During a transcribed interview with congressional investigators on Thursday, July 17, IRS Deputy Associate Chief Counsel Thomas Kane, who supervises the IRS’s targeting scandal document production to Congress, testified that new developments now make him uncertain whether e-mail back-up tapes containing lost e-mails from key IRS targeting official Lois Lerner exist or not.

The new testimony is at odds with the June 13, 2014, memo sent to Sens. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT) by the IRS which reported that the IRS, “Confirmed that back-up tapes from 2011 no longer exist because they have been recycled.”  Kane had reviewed the June 13 memo but noted his current uncertainty with investigators.

Kane and a Committee investigator had the following exchange during Thursday’s transcribed interview: (more…)

WASHINGTON DC – Days after IRS officials said in a sworn statement that former top agency employee Lois G. Lerner’s computer memory had been wiped clean, the agency put out word to contractors Monday that it needs help to destroy at least another 3,200 hard drives.

The Internal Revenue Service solicitation for “media destruction” services reflects an otherwise routine job to protect sensitive taxpayer information, but it was made while the agency’s record destruction practices remain under a sharp congressional spotlight.
Congressional investigators of the IRS targeting of conservative groups have been hampered by the unexplained destruction of emails and other records of Ms. Lerner, the former head of the IRS tax-exempt division and a central figure in the scandal.
The loss of Ms. Lerner’s hard drive also raised broader questions about why the tax agency never reported the missing records to the National Archives and Records Administration, as required by the Federal Records Act. (more…)

If your children are old enough to be in college, they probably think the country they were born into is falling apart.  If you’re a Baby Boomer like myself, you know the country you were born into is already gone.  It’s a hard thing to thwart the general feeling of optimism shared by most Americans during a beautiful summer season.  But, if you stop and take a thoughtful assessment of the disasters currently befalling our world, perhaps you’ll see that the fall might be closer than you think.

The summer of 2014 will go down in history as the season when America fell apart. Let’s take a tour of the disasters…

(Townhall)…Germany in 2008 enthusiastically hosted candidate Barack Obama for his so-called “Victory Column” speech. Now, Germans suddenly sound as if they are near-enemies of the U.S. Chancellor Angela Merkel reportedly was furious that her cell phone was tapped by American intelligence agents. She just kicked the top CIA official out of Germany, further enraged that the U.S. had recruited at least one German official to provide intelligence on the German government. Polls show that Germans find Vladimir Putin’s Russian tyranny almost as popular as Barack Obama’s America.
Japan is becoming similarly frustrated with the U.S. It is rearming like crazy to confront an aggressive China. Both Asian powers apparently assume that Obama won’t guarantee the security of the Japanese as America had in the past. (more…)

The DOJ has no vested interest in investigating the missing emails.   Our research indicates the missing emails more than likely incriminate the DOJ through the use of the assembled [Schedule B] “BOLO List”.

(Kurt Schlichter) Liberals will tell you that the IRS scandal is a “phony scandal,” apparently because using the federal government as a tool of oppression against one’s political opponents is A-OK as long as the ones using it are liberals and the ones being oppressed are conservatives.
Remember, scratch a liberal and it’ll bleed fascist brown.
So why not start off your discussion with your liberal conversationalist pal by posing that basic question:  Is it okay, or is it not okay, to use federal agencies to harass and persecute your political opponents?
Now to us, because we are decent people and real Americans, the answer is “No,” but most hardcore liberals truly believe that it’s absolutely acceptable for Barack Obama to oppress his political opponents using the federal agencies under his control.  To them, the rules and rights that protect all Americans only protect all Americans that they agree with.

WASHINGTON – House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Regulatory Affairs Subcommittee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, today pressed the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on yet another hard drive crash of an employee who disparaged Republicans and campaigned for President Obama in violation of the Hatch Act, which states that federal employees should not conduct political activities during work hours.

If you tell your neighbor your favorite color is blue, and tell your spouse your favorite color is green, it really doesn’t matter.   Either could be true at a given moment in time.
While owning a singular pet – If you tell your neighbor you own a cat, and tell your boss you own a dog, one of them is a lie – but likely doesn’t hold a consequence unless your integrity is called out by your employer in a legal action.
The only statement that legally matters is what you state when in front of a court of law.

Your favorite color, when stated to a judge, is considered the absolute truth – so too is ownership of either the cat or dog.   The fact you are under oath, in front of a judge, changes the relative consideration of your statement.
When President Obama Inc. (Pelosi / Reid) told the American people the individual mandate within the ObamaCare law was a penalty, he promised it was not a tax.
In front of the Supreme Court President Obama Inc. claimed the individual mandate was most definitely a “tax”, and not a penalty.   In the eyes of the court the truth was the statement made in front of the judiciary, the individual mandate was evaluated as a tax.
The prior statements to congress and the American people are discarded.   The “Truth” is what’s said in front of the court – in the eyes of the law, the absolute Truth. (more…)

This story is developing – more will follow later – but I wanted to point out the IRS legal position in front of Judge Reggie Walton:

The IRS lawyers are claiming True The Vote cannot “prove” any Lerner emails were lost, therefore legally the IRS cannot be compelled to explain “why” the emails were lost.

You getting this ?

WASHINGTON DC –  A second federal judge has now ordered the IRS to explain under oath how the agency lost emails from former division director Lois Lerner, the woman at the heart of the Tea Party targeting scandal.
U.S. District Court Judge Reggie Walton told Obama administration lawyers on Friday he wants to see an affidavit explaining what happened with Lerner’s hard drive. The IRS claims her computer suffered a crash in 2011 that wiped her email records at the time clean.  (more…)

crossthread42 just asked an interesting question (one that may also have occurred to you):

One other thing that bothers Me… How does One, or a Family, AQUIRE the MONIES to make the trip, MUCH less pay a “smuggler”, or Coyote, to get them across the Final push across the border? 3000. to (reports of) 20.000.00 Each? If it’s a FAMILY, just on average, were talking close to 50K for ONE FAMILY to Get here?? WHERE do they get this Money? If they are in POVERTY?

This may be a clue.  This is outrageous.  There is no better word to describe it, and the IRS is doing nothing to stop it.
