In what might well be a very revealing week ahead the IRS will appear in two different court jurisdictions to explain the now infamous, lost but never reported, missing Lois Lerner emails.

On July 10th the IRS will have to explain in federal court the context of their failure to preserve evidence for the longstanding Judicial Watch lawsuit.   On May 13th 2013, the Lois Lerner emails were the subject of a specific JW lawsuit over non-compliance with FOIA.  The IRS has never told the court in this case that any emails were lost/missing.
The following day, on July 11th, the IRS will try to block a motion filed by Houston based True The Vote which seeks to have independent outside digital forensics experts comb through the IRS email files to see if the IRS claim is valid.   Judge Reggie Walton has agreed to hear arguments in support of True The Vote’s motion.

MISSISSIPPI – Sen. Thad Cochran’s (R-Miss.) primary challenger, state Sen. Chris McDaniel, is offering a $1,000 reward in exchange for evidence of voter fraud in his contentious primary fight that leads to an arrest.
The bounty stems from a report from a conservative blogger  [Charles C Johnson] published earlier this week outlining allegations from a self-identified African-American minister that the Cochran team instructed him to pay African-Americans $15 each to vote for Cochran in the runoff.
The pastor said he believed the tactic was widespread and drove thousands of voters to the polls, but he was paid for the interview by a conservative blogger, raising doubts about the legitimacy of his claims. (more…)

Come travel with us on a wonderful trip through the region of Andalusea in southern Spain. You’ll find Zurich Mike’s complete travel itinerary below the fold.  The music accompanying Mike’s photos is called “Fantasia para un Gentilhombre” ( Fantasia for a Gentleman), by Joaquín Rodrigo,  and played by Andres Segovia.  I couldn’t think of a more appropriate theme for ZM.

If media folks are finding sources willing to give out this much specific detail, it’s only a matter of time before the entire lid blows off the IRS scandal.  And the more that comes out, the more it looks like a DOJ initiated scheme using the IRS, instead of an IRS scheme using the DOJ.

(Via Daily Caller) Ex-Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner tried to audit Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley after Grassley blocked President Obama’s nominee to head the Department of Justice (DOJ) tax division, an executive branch insider told The Daily Caller.

Grassley made it more difficult for the IRS and DOJ to work together to target conservative groups by blocking Obama’s political appointee Mary L. Smith from taking over the DOJ Tax Division, which prosecutes criminal cases for the IRS. Grassley held up the nomination in early 2010, just as Lerner and fellow IRS officials were mapping out their targeting strategy. The White House later withdrew Smith’s nomination. (more…)

(Via Truth Revolt)  Buried in the heavily-reported story of protesters stopping buses full of immigrants being relocated to Murrieta, California this week was a small detail about what is the next step for the government in their effort to move the large groups into new facilities.

Unable to pass, the buses eventually backed down the street and headed to another facility about an hour and a half away from here. Gone from this location for now, but still in the United States. And the next group of 140 migrants is expected to arrive here on the Fourth of July.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Prediction. If Turkey requests our engagement, due to their border interests being compromised, within 10 Days the U.S. will begin offensive mititary engagements in Iraq against ISIS forces. (more…)

Are the DHS security agents intentionally being provocative ?   The term “brown shirts” is specifically what the German Nazi party called their paramilitary units. 
“Sturmabteilung” abbreviated to “SA”, or more generally “brown shirts”,  was an organized assault division functioning as the original paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party.
The Brown Shirts played a key role in Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in the 1920s and 1930s. Their main assignments were providing protection for Nazi rallies and assemblies, disrupting the meetings of the opposing parties, fighting against the paramilitary units of the opposing parties (especially the Rotfrontkämpferbund) and intimidating Slavic and Romani citizens, unionists and Jews.
Do you think the United States Department of Homeland Security would intentionally tell contracted security people to name themselves after such similarly behaving paramilitary horror ?   That’s a little ‘in-your-face’, no?  
(Via Daily Caller) An Oklahoma Congressman who visited an Army base being used to house illegal immigrant children now wonders what the federal government is hiding after he was denied access to the facility.

“There is no excuse for denying a Federal Representative from Oklahoma access to a federal facility in Oklahoma where unaccompanied children are being held,” Rep. Jim Bridenstine said in a statement following his visit Tuesday to Ft. Sill Army base near Lawton. (more…)
