Now we know why lous lerner wasnt fired, or allowed to resign. She still taking bullets for obama. Loyal to the end. There must have been a smoking gun for them to jump thru these hoops and do all this. Otherwise a simple resign and claim that lerner did this on her own and that he (obama) was upset about it and would make sure it didnt happen again! That would suit the press and this story wouldnt get covered by msm anymore.

It's going to be Denis McDonough and Holder, though people below them will take the rap.

A special prosecutor can be appointed either by the Attorney General (not likely, since part of the prosecutor's job is to investigate the Attorney General's lack of enforcement of laws), or by Congress. A little more likely, but don't BOTH houses of Congress have to agree? That's not likely either.

Something that has never been explained to me is how Lerner's HD crashed yet she kept using the PC. Any time it has happened to me the thing died. This makes me wonder if THEY - who keep insisting it was a HD crash - even know what a HD crash is. Any with a knowledge of how a HD works know it is fatal and the drive should be removed ASAP as it is likely not to spin up.

They started saying it was a "computer crash" - WTF does that mean?

The federal government is staffed by fools who hire fools to maintain their computers.

I especially loved Hoskinen's description of dated and antiquated systems the IRS is forced to use. To that I call total BS! Who is the first on the block to get the latest and greatest technology? The federal government - they invest in it.
Does anyone truly believe the IRS is using old Univac or DEC mainframes and little 10" monochrome monitors?
Intel 286 machines running Windows 3.1?
Lerner's HD must have been a whopping 50M at the most.

Engelbrecht would appear to be a public figure widely espousing causes likely to invite scrutiny.

She is the one who is spearheading a crowd funding to put up a million dollars for IRS emails. She appears to have a major role in the group sending Caucasian vote wathchers into black polling places. The group with which she has been associated have been citied as the source for reasonably rough threats and harassment of progressive groups. Nothing I am aware of would appear obviously criminal but getting to the point where investigating might be in order.

And yes I believe the Police and others should keep an eye on Occupy Groups as well.

Holder could appoint a special prosecutor, highly unlikely considering he's there to cover Obama's mis-deeds, or Congress could appoint an independent counsel, also unlikely with Reid in the Senate.

I'm not claiming the tide is turning, but it's interesting to watch the left-leaning MSM begin to push for something to happen as evidenced by an editorial in today's Star Tribune:

"The old caution against ascribing to malice what can be explained by incompetence is worth keeping in mind when evaluating a high-profile blunder in either the private or public sector, such as the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative groups for extra scrutiny.

But the latest twist in the long-running controversy — the eye-rollingly convenient loss of IRS e-mails — moves the needle from ineptitude and toward the other, more troubling end of the spectrum. While the lost e-mails aren’t definitive proof of an orchestrated effort by the IRS or the Obama administration, the recent news that thousands of e-mails were obliterated in a computer hard-drive crash in 2011 is tough to swallow, not only for technology professionals, but also for an increasingly tech-savvy public."

See Alex Wagner story about Louie Gommert and his 1 million dollar bounty to find E-Mails. It turns out there are e-mails made by the Tech people to Learner saying that they were not able to recover hard drive. Even sent it to the forensic dept and could not repair hard drive. The truth slowly comes out.
Gomer knows a good bet, as anyone can see it will never be paid. E-mails can help or hurt.

I will repeat it again, the only way you lose that amount of data is if there was severe physical damage to the platter. This is very rare and usually the result of something like the computer being dropped during a read/write operation. Even then being able to destroy that part of the platter has a low probability.
