Things could get very interesting for the IRS on July 10.
The judge with whom the IRS failed to notify about the lost emails and is holding a hearing on the matter on July 10 has in the past aggressively pursued corruption in the Department of Justice.
Judge Sullivan is the judge who held federal prosecutors in contempt, dismissed an unjust indictment against a United States Senator, and publicly excoriated the Department of Justice. He also had the moral conviction, courage and gumption to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the Justice Department and the individual prosecutors. …
In the [Senator Ted] Stevens case, Judge Sullivan publicly upbraided the government lawyers before an overflow courtroom, “In nearly 25 years on the bench, I’ve never seen anything approaching the mishandling and misconduct that I’ve seen in this case. . . . When the government does not meet its obligations to turn over evidence, the system falters.”
Judge Sullivan was taking the extraordinary step of appointing a special prosecutor. He chose highly respected DC attorney Henry Schuelke III to investigate the prosecutors for possible criminal charges. The judge ordered the department to preserve all of its files, electronic correspondence—everything—and cooperate fully in the investigation, including providing Schuelke access to investigative files and all witnesses.
It is very possible Sullivan will get as incensed on July 10. Stay tuned. Things could get very hot for the IRS and the Obama administration on that day.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Most excellent
The IRS will always be used as a political weapon. A computer at point of sale can’t do what they do.
I wish that judge, God Speed!
This reminds me of the Duke University Lacrosse team fiasco. An overzealous prosecutor went after a team of innocent college students, ruined their reputations and the reputations of their coach and university, all for his own political aspirations.
Now we have the most powerful agency* of the most powerful government in the world going after innocent taxpayers for political gain, and most or all of the other agencies are following suit. The cover-up is astonishing for its lame, transparent ineptitude.
The administration’s treatment of this scandal strongly suggests that, just as with the IRS scandal, there is much more to the other scandals (the ones that Obama denies are scandals) than we have been told by the media. Witnesses to other scandals have been intimidated into silence, and evidence has been hidden or suppressed. Our nation’s chief prosecutor, Attorney General Holder, has publicly announced that there are certain cases in which he will not pursue justice. Have we ever before had such blatant and widespread corruption in the federal government?
Why is it that this administration has turned upside down everything that we learned in our civics classes, and why is it getting away with so much of it? Welcome to Obama’s America, land of the formerly free.

* This agency is powerful enough to go completely against US laws, precedents, and traditions to employ the French version of law: guilty unless proved innocent, rather that the US version: innocent unless proved guilty.
