Watchdog: IRS workers mistakenly erased tea party emails

So you're cool with government corruption, lying and destruction of evidence. Okay.

And you're cool with desperate attempts to create a scandal where there probably isn't one as long as it disparages the party you dispise.
 
Greetings, humbolt. :2wave:

"Now some that do and some that don't, and some you just can't tell" (can't recall who sang it) :mrgreen:

Now some they do and some they don't
And some you just can't tell
And some they will and some they won't
With some it's just as well

'There probably isn't one' really isn't much of a defense.
 
Agree with your first paragraph. Not excusing or mitigating anything at all. In fact, I have already clearly stated in this thread that they should be held accountable.

Your second and third paragraphs are just hiding your head in the sand.
Rather than the 'they all do it' defense, why not actually point out a few instances where others have done the same? Pretending you have some political knowledge or insights others lack suggests an overblown sense of self importance.

No scandal ?

Obama seemed pretty disturbed after he said he read the IG report.

Said he would get to the bottom of this.

Then, 24 x 5th amendment pleas from Lois Lerner later, it turned into a " fake scandal ".

Now, the IRS just so happens to have " accidentally " deleted the Emails ?

Really ? You people bitched and moaned about a " lying incompetent " administration for 8 years and now you condone something like this ?

Again, it's party over country.

I'm cool with calling out corruption, lying and destruction of evidence, and I take you're not cool with that. I take it you'd rather not talk about it.
 
These scandals hanging on one crucial type of information are starting to get old. You'd think in this wide range of conspiracies to harm conservatives, there would be a little bit more substantial. It's always "THE EVIDENCE IS IN THE DELETED E-MAILS!" or some such nonsense. Oh well.

What other evidence would there be? We know they targeted conservative organizations and the correspondence between them is the only way to track down who ordered it and who was involved. Personally, I think every single department head and person involved should be fired and criminal charges be filed against those responsible for deleting those emails. When people face jail time it tends to loosen their tongues.

Circumstantial evidence demonstrating the alleged connections between the parties of the e-mails? A track record of actions followed for a particular reason? Something a little bit more than supposed correspondence. Remember, if you can't actually prove what was in these e-mails one way or another, it's about as good as being a conspiracy theorist.

And this can only be proven conclusively with those e-mails. Right?
 
Again, it's party over country.

Its party over honor, character and yes, Country.

First, they're dishonest low lifes, next they're offended by everything this Country represents.
 
Greetings, Grant! :2wave:

Yep, that's it! Thanks! :kissy: I even have that old album somewhere! :mrgreen:
You're very welcome! I have it too but haven't heard it since CD's came out!:)

Wouldn't you prefer that they keep any relevant emails? Should they all take the fifth, including Hillary?

After 6 years, and 0 convictions of anything, or impeachments but plenty of calls for it, I think we're at the moment where people should simply give up looking for conspiracies. If they won't, then I see no problem with people defending themselves by the means available to them. Don't you think?

Nothing was found. Move on. You people are getting silly with your desperate attempts to find a scandal to attach Hillary or the president to.

You keep putting words in my mouth.

Funny you don't seem upset about the things that are coming out about the last admin regarding the Iraq War. Apparently you're only interested if it's this administration.

Have you considered being a greeter at Walmart? You seem to do a lot of that here and not much else. :)

Waaaaah!

Find another country if you hate it so much here.

What are you going to do when the Whitehouse is occupied by a dem for eight more years?

You're the one suggesting that I don't care about anything but a political issue, and that's patently untrue. I'm concerned about affecting that which I can, and that doesn't include the past. This administration is the one controlling current events. That could be why I'm concerned with what they do. What the Bush administration did is done and beyond our influence, much like what I did yesterday or even five minutes ago.

Hello there, Enigma001. :2wave:

Does my "hello there" to you suit you better than "greetings?" :doh: When has it become wrong to thank someone for helping me with a problem that would have bugged me all day? You are an enigma, aren't you? :mrgreen:

Why has it taken six years? It seems that promised emails and other correspondence never arrives, witnesses refuse to appear or, when they do, take the fifth. Certainly everyone should care about the corruption in their government but if you are ready to let it slide because of party loyalty, and a sufficient number of people share your feelings, then the country will continue its decline.
