“They did not follow the law.”
“They did not follow the law.”
Guess who. Its initials are I-R-S, and the person making the accusation is the head of the National Archives. said during House hearings Tuesday on the IRS scandal.
Archivist of the U.S. David Ferriero, speaking before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, made clear that federal agencies are supposed to report whenever their records are destroyed or even accidentally deleted. But he said that after emails from embattled IRS official Lois Lerner vanished after a computer failure in 2011, nobody told the National Archives.
“They did not follow the law,” Ferriero said.
But hey, just try playing this game if the IRS calls you in for a tax audit.
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 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

I would be nice if Congress found enough probable cause to invoke RICO on the IRS and the rest of the organized crime syndicate we have in charge of the Executive branch.
Thumbs up
In general the entity IRS is before the law. Unless it can be established that individuals have endeavored to manipulate tax payer information for their own gain the entity IRS may get a mild spanking but the entity will get a pass. The real story would be if it can be established through hard evidence that people high in the administration have conspired with the officers of the IRS that have given specific orders to their minions to target specific people or organizations in order to effect a political weapon.
And that is when we find ourselves with Lois Lerner. We see the extreme steps that these people are willing to go to protect their own self interest and it will / may be those things that will unravel this “conspiracy”. The power of the IRS is that it is universally feared, both by the people and by sitting, aspirational and retired politicians. So unless pushed to the max with obvious and blatant evidence things will tend to be smoothed over because of that universal fear.
So RICO as a general wish, that IMO remains a wish unless the control of the evidence becomes uncontrolled, but I think it has been established that the IRS is a weapon of fear that has been developed to control the people and THAT is why we must change / simplify how taxes are collected. No one needs to live under such oppressive conditions and that is something worthwhile to be working towards.
Fear and self interest drive human beings.
