IRS admits that it hasn't even looked for Lerner's emails

Isn't this called obstruction? I'd appreciate a legal ace to weigh in here, but this seems to me to be a fairly blatant way to get held in contempt of court...

    does any body think that the irs would ever comply with the court order. government employees at ALL levels will do what ever is necessary to protect other government employees in virtually every situation other than a shooter. unfortunately one should go on with life and put this behind. you see the court is made up of government employees so what more do you need to know.

      It is very important to make these stands. To hold people in contempt. To continue challenging their actions in court. Otherwise you are supporting a culture of corruption. Where I live, wiggys, the people have done that for hundreds of years. It's so bad that regular people begin to act the same way. A disaster happens and there's wide spread looting, for example. Our elected officials do it and so...I fully expect now that the House and Senate are Republican, were are going to see some heads roll in some of these scandals. I expect this second wave of freshmen republicans aren't going to be meek either.

        khalling, I look forward to that happening, the "heads roll" part of your post. And, I agree with you, that the freshman repubs are going to prove to be difficult to deal with for the rinos.

    When the Attorney general (chief law enforcer with jurisdiction) is conducting a purposely unending investigation the story and facts will be whitewashed before anything is done. He will order the search for the e-mails on his schedule... never... It is a farce. "I can't comment on an ongoing investigation." All documents that ARE released will be heavily redacted. Those not released... executive privilege will be invoked. Of course, if you fail to keep your documents and produce them for the IRS you can be fined and/or imprisoned and it will be post-haste.

    No one will prosecute them so long as the president and Attorney General are Democrats. So we'll need to prosecute this (and other examples of corruption) after January 2017. Let's let our Republican lawmakers know this -- don't let them forget it and move on.

    This will stay buried until after Obama is done. Then if there is a non-Dem President, it will resurface this the Iran Contra Scandal.
