IRS: So… Our Computer Crashed And Erased All Of Lois Lerner’s Emails

Federal pols don't have any rights. They're supposed to be the property of the People.

Well that's wrong. Politicians have more freedom and are subject to fewer laws than the electorate. The people get their say every 2 or 6 years, but what the politicians do in the intervening time is not controlled by the electorate. And you break your argument here anyway. If the Politicians are just puppets of their electorate and are supposed to act on their wishes then all of these politicians, by the act of being re-elected, are doing what the people want.


But getting back to your statement about the House having no right to investigate the IRS: It's bull****. There are numerous Congressional bodies formed to be oversight to the operation of government. It's part of the balance of power in the Federal Government. The President appoints the leadership of the government agencies and the Congress oversees the operations to check the power of the president.
 
no, it's grandstanding when you come up empty
get back to me when they find something

Have them give us all the ****ing e-mails and we will get back to you. But no they're all to busy destroying evidence.
 
hopefully, the republican dominated house also knows that and will finally act on that belief
quit grandstanding and have someone independently investigate the nature of the data loss.
show us whether it was a nefarious incident or a legitimate one

And who would Eric Holder appoint? Let me tell you another Obama loyalist. Of course you know that.

So stop with the grandstanding.
 
Wrong. The HofR is supposed to work for the people, and the IRS was being as a tool to check on the actions of the Reps on behalf of the electorate.

Just as an employee has no right to scrutinize the actions of an employer surveillance camera, the HofR (employees of the People) have no right to scrutinize the actions of tools used to monitor them.


Huh ?

So Politicians lose their Constitutional rights when they become elected ?

So stop with the grandstanding.
which is why i suggested the HOUSE, you know, the place filled with REPUBLICANS, is the entity which should select a special investigator to get to the bottom of this matter
issa and gowdy are too busy preening for the television cameras to actually take care of business

There's the root of the problem.

The people get their say every 2 or 6 years, but what the politicians do in the intervening time is not controlled by the electorate.

Another problem.

And you break your argument here anyway. If the Politicians are just puppets of their electorate and are supposed to act on their wishes then all of these politicians, by the act of being re-elected, are doing what the people want.

So if an employer hires an employee, the employee is then free to do whatever he/she wants because he/she was hired? That makes sense :rolleyes:

Just as someone who works at a coffee shop can be monitored via surveillance camera by the shop's owner, so too the people have a right to monitor their workers--who they pay w/tax monies. In the latter case, the IRS is one of those surveillance cameras.

Tax investigations are one of the primary ways to uncover bribery.

When the employer can only fire the employee two years from date of hire or 6 years from date of hir then yeah, the employee can do anything the law allows... and since they are protected from having to adhere to many laws, they pretty much have free reign.

You have the relationship between IRS and Congress CRAZY wrong. It isn't a one way street. By your argument NOBODY monitors the IRS which is patently absurd.

Tax investigations are one of the primary ways to uncover bribery.

Bribery cases are primarily conducted by the FBI, not the IRS.

Geeee all they have to do is turn over the e-mails, but no they're all destroying evidence and you talk about Issa and Gowdy. Give me a break
