Missing IRS e-mails: What did the FBI know and when did they know it.
2014-07-08
[The Blaze] A top member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee asked the FBI on Thursday when it first learned that the IRS lost more than two years' worth of emails from Lois Lerner and other officials, and asked why it didn't seem to be aware of this problem much earlier.
...and report that fact [missing e-mails] to the Congress.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) wrote a letter to FBI Director James Comey to ask why Comey didn't seem to be knowledgeable about the lost emails last week. In the letter, Jordan said the FBI's criminal investigation should have been unable to uncover this loss very early in its criminal investigation of the IRS.
Could it be there was actually was no FBI investigation at all? [rhet]

#13  U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan ordered a federal court hearing on the missing IRS emails be set for July 10! (Judicial Watch v. IRS (No. 1:13-cv–1559)

Maybe something will come of this. Sullivan is supposed to be a straight-up, no BS, judge.

#10  Government's confidence ratings are so low that stooped people would have to die to get it any lower. The only institution in which the people have a bit of confidence is the military. Sort of like Egypt...

#6  The FBI has reason to believe that the person in the photograph to the right may have been involved in the Boston Marathon Bombings nefarious activities involving sensitive federal documents. If you or any other proles know this person or her whereabouts, please contact your local FBI office.

#5  One does not audit other gentleman's books. I'm sure the IRS extends the same consideration to the FBI.

How does it feel to be among the 'little people'?

#4  Lois Lerner is the FBI's new Whitey Bulger.

#3  Well it is a bit telling. The FBI possesses one of the most sophisticated computer forensics capabilities in the entire world and no one has even suggested so much as a inter-gov't helping hand [assistance] be extended the poor, befuddled IRS ?

Give me a fok'n break.

#1  If Lois Lerner and her cell were the IRS liaison for White House, Senate, or Other Government Agency political, criminal or counterterrorism contacts, was the FBI one of her clients ?
