Circumstantial Evidence


The circumstantial evidence is overwhelming. Now we are asked to believe that the e-mails of five more key IRS employees have somehow all gone missing simultaneously … see: AP Story. This is in addition to numerous e-mails that have vanished from Lois Lerner’s computer. Remember she is the IRS employee that had claimed Fifth Amendment protections from self incrimination when testifying in front of Congress … and who was the point person at the IRS which was targeting conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status prior to the 2012 presidential elections. Her bald-faced excuse was a crashed computer and a subsequent (conveniently) degaussed hard disk.

The IRS is stretching its credibility to the breaking point when it now claims that these five additional employees all experienced convenient computer crashes that eliminated key pieces of evidence in this matter. If President Obama does not immediately act to rectify this blatant suborning of justice then, in my eyes, the White House is also implicated … if not the perpetrator of these criminal acts. Obama's attitude and statement about “not even a smidgen of corruption” at the IRS shows, to me, how up to its elbows in this grievous mess his administration really is. And let us not forget the 119 suspicious visits to the White House by the IRS Commissioner in 2010 and 2011 ... see: Investors Business Daily Story.

This is President Nixon’s secretary Rosemary Woods’ accidentally-erased 18 minutes of recorded Oval Office conversations … times 100. Is America asleep? Where's the outrage?

The AP reports "In a statement, the IRS said it found no evidence that anyone deliberately destroyed evidence." Why would they lie?
BTW How come no one mentions that these Political groups were in-eligible for Tax Exempt status because they were well, political groups? I think the thrust of the investigations should be directed to cases where liberal political groups were awarded the tax exemptions and punish the IRS manager responsible. That would be more effective than speculating about what was in the "lost" emails.

What if the guilty party in your scenario is also Lois Lerner (quite likely)? And what about all the union tax-exempt political activity? Crimes are crimes are crimes ...

Lois Lerner sounds pretty guilty and should, like any horsethief, be punished to the full extent of the law, after a fair trial. I don't believe in tax exemption for ANY group. That includes religions, schools, new start-ups, movie crews, unions, etc. Taxes is Taxes; If I have to pay taxes, everyone should pay taxes.

Then political donations would dry up ... and how would Obama spend his days? You can only play so much golf ...

Another thought ... as long as we are taxing political contributions, why not tax Hollywood types and entertainers for their endorsement performances ... at what would be the equivalent going rate? This might give these glitterati pause about such thoughtless grandstanding ...
