Wook: There would be no 'humanitarian' reason to delay treatment to veterans at the staff or even middle-management level. I suspect that orders came down 'from above' to cut costs by X-ty percent, and VA top management worked out 'methods' to meet those orders. (Excluding graft or empire-building for the moment.) Either the bean-counters or active bad-guys above them should be held 'feet to the fire'...
My father (dead now) was an Army doctor. He was 'drafted' in his last year at med school to go to the Presidio in San Francisco to care for the tens of thousands of GIs coming back in tatters from the WWII island-hopping campaigns. I can barely even envision the scale of it. It must have been soul-searing. Much later, he was second-in-command at Walter Reed at the height of the Vietnam 'War' and responsible for oversight of care of the wounded (including long-term wounded) there. I suspect he would be absolutely boiling-over at what is going on...

American Soldier Who Served With Freed POW Casts Doubt on Official Story; Fears Reprisal From Obama Administration
Quote:Early Saturday it was announced by the administration that the only American prisoner of war in Afghanistan was released in exchange for 5 Guantanamo Bay terrorists being set free to Qatar. [Explicit language below.]
The circumstances of the capture of Bowe Bergdahl had been in question long before his release â supposedly he had wandered off and captured by the Taliban.
But a soldier on Twitter is claiming that the official story is untrue, and has posted his version of the events that led to Boweâs capture as I originally posted on my blog.
Towards the end of his story, he says he fears reprisal from the Obama administration, and asks for legal help. It must be noted also that he has a avatar that bears a picture of Bowe with the word âtraitorâ posted over it.
After stating that âF[***] what you I heard. I was there.,â here are the tweets telling his version of the story so far:

Quote:Still trying to figure out what President Barack Obamaâs foreign policy doctrine is? Search no more. The White House has got you covered.
âFor those pining for an Obama Doctrine victory for the president, here it is: âDonât Do Stupid Shit,ââ Politicoâs Mike Allen wrote in his daily tip sheet, the Politico Playbook, Saturday. âPlaybook rarely prints a four-letter word â our nephews are loyal readers. But we are, in this case, because that is the precise phrase President Obama and his aides are using in their off-the-record chats with journalists.â
Allen went on to point out all the places the phrase has popped up in recent days and weeks.
âIf the aim was to get this phrase in circulation to define the Obama doctrine, mission accomplished!â he wrote. âIt appeared in the L.A. Times at the end of Obamaâs Asia trip this spring, was reprised in the lead story of Thursdayâs New York Times, and is used TWICE in todayâs NYT â once in the news columns, and once in a column by Tom Friedman, who was part of an off-the-record roundtable with Obama on Tuesday.â
âWHATâS CLEAR is that the White House is pushing this line hard, and effectively,â he concluded. âWhatâs not clear is how a high school cliché will help successfully define a foreign policy that many on the right and left find soft and uninspired.â
For the smartest president in the history of humanity, this is hardly a sophisticated, much less ambitious, doctrine. As for whether President Obama has lived up to his own doctrine, well, thatâs another question altogether.

Quote:A new poll shows about 80% of Americans think President Barack Obama is âpersonallyâ responsible for at least some of the issues with the medical care provided to former soldiers by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The Washington Post-ABC News poll, released Tuesday, found 38% of respondents viewed Obama responsible for a âgoodâ or âgreatâ amount of the VAâs woes; another 41% said Obama was responsible for âjust someâ of the controversy. That makes for 79% of voters who lay at least some of the blame for the scandal with the president.

Quote:FROM ARTICLE:
Eric Stahl, who recently retired as a major in the U.S. Air Force, served as commander and pilot of the C-17 aircraft that was used to transport the corpses of the four casualties from the Benghazi attacks â then-U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens, information officer Sean Smith, and former Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods â as well as the assaultâs survivors from Tripoli to the safety of an American military base in Ramstein, Germany.
In an exclusive interview on Fox Newsâ âSpecial Report,â Stahl said members of a CIA-trained Global Response Staff who raced to the scene of the attacks were âconfusedâ by the administrationâs repeated implication of the video as a trigger for the attacks, because âthey knew during the attackâ¦who was doing the attacking.â Asked how, Stahl told anchor Bret Baier: âRight after they left the consulate in Benghazi and went to the [CIA] safehouse, they were getting reports that cell phones, consulate cell phones, were being used to make calls to the attackersâ higher ups.â
A separate U.S. official, one with intimate details of the bloody events of that night, confirmed the majorâs assertion. The second source, who requested anonymity to discuss classified data, told Fox News he had personally read the intelligence reports at the time that contained references to calls by terrorists â using State Department cell phones captured at the consulate during the battle â to their terrorist leaders. The second source also confirmed that the security teams on the ground received this intelligence in real time.

Quote:Benghazi Filmmaker CONFIRMED to be an Agent of Eric Holder Justice Department
By Shoebat Foundation on June 12, 2014 in Featured, General
By Walid Shoebat, Ben Barrack and Keith Davies
**SHOEBAT EXCLUSIVE**
The producer of the anti-Muhammad video the Obama administration blamed for the Benghazi attacks is actually a confirmed agent of Eric Holderâs Justice Department.
Nakoula: Filmmaker admitted to being Muslim.
The damning trail of evidence begins when a fictitious narrative was concocted by the FBI to lure the courts that Nakoula (the Filmmaker, aka Yousef) was supposed to help the FBI catch Eiad Salameh, his partner in crimes for many years. Yet, the deal was never fulfilled and Eiad was let go by the Feds in 2011 as Shoebat.com revealed in a firsthand account never before reported, including a recorded conversation between Nakoula and Shoebat.com in which the filmmaker defended Eiad, the very man he was supposed to help the FEDS catch!
Bolstering the case (aside from the Feds letting two criminals go) is how the filmmaker became an agent of Eric Holder. After Nakoulaâs arrest, there was a very curious development at the U.S. Attorneyâs Office for the Central District of California, which was handling his case through an Assistant U.S. Attorney who suddenly was pulled off the case and replaced by a full bird - Chief of the officeâs Criminal Division, Robert Dugdale.
Robert Dugdale: Given Nakoula Case and public not told why.
Robert Dugdale: Given Nakoula Case and public not told why.
Nakoula got high-profile attention.
In an article that appeared in the Washington Times, Kerry Picket wrote:
What is curious, though, is the fact that the original Asst. U.S. Atty. Jennifer Williams, who helped prosecute Mr. Yousefâs [Nakoula] bank fraud conviction, is not the attorney Mr. Yousefâs lawyers would eventually deal with. Mr. Yousefâs probation violation case, for no explained reason, was kicked up to Chief Criminal Division prosecutor Asst. U.S. Atty. Robert Dugdale. Dugdale is second in the chain of command below U.S. Atty. Andre Birotte of the Central District of California.
Picket was suspicious, she attempted to get answers from the officeâs spokesman, Thom Mrozek:
?
When I pointed out that AUSA Dugdale was not part of the team of attorneys who did prosecute Yousefâs case and asked why the case was kicked up the chain to AUSA Dugdale, Mr. Mrozek responded, âI donât comment on staffing decisions.â
The U.S. Attorney over Dugdale â Andre Birotte, Jr. became the local caretaker of a very high profile and high stakes case the Obama administration wanted to control very closely and later was nominated by Obama to be U.S. District Judge for Californiaâs Central District.
Birotte: His office handled Nakoula case after Benghazi.
Eiad Salameh, Nakoulaâs partner in crimes â also beholden to the administration â obtained special favors from doing the Justice Departmentâs bidding. According to a report by The Smoking Gun just days after the Benghazi attacks, charges against Eiad (who has a proven rap sheet ) were dropped in the same year that Canadian authorities picked him up:
It is unclear whether Salameh, whose whereabouts are unknown, has been charged in connection with the bank fraud. Salameh was named in a 2006 federal criminal complaint charging him with felony fraud. That complaintâfiled under one of Salamehâs many aliasesâwas dismissed last year by federal prosecutors. A court docket shows that no filings were made after the initial complaint, likely indicating that Salameh was never apprehended.
But the last sentence is incorrect; Salameh was apprehended.
Jeffrey Mason of the Canadian Peel Police picked Salameh up in January of 2011!
At that time, he should have been wanted in connection with both the 2006 and 2009 cases, assuming he was involved in the Nakoula bank fraud case. Yet, the 2006 case was dropped in either the same month Eiad was arrested or in the months that followed.
Shoebat.com has learned from one retired FBI agent that this doesnât just happen unless Eiad was providing the Feds with something in return for such treatment.
As Shoebat.com has reported, a timeline provides further evidence that the Obama Administration was in cahoots with these figures in the summer of 2011, during the July-August time frame.
?
1.) Secretary of State Hillary Clinton co-chaired a meeting in Istanbul, Turkey with the head of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). It was to be the first of several meetings that would become known as âThe Istanbul Processâ. One of the objectives of the OIC has been and remains, to pressure non-Muslim countries to censor speech critical of Islam.
?
2.) Nakoula began casting for his video.
?
3.) Eiad Salameh was put on a plane back to Palestine by the Canadians after Eric Holderâs FBI refused to have him extradited and charged.
Eiad was clearly on the hook with the U.S. Justice Department if his 2006 case was dismissed.
FBIâs Benghazi Investigation
When UN Ambassador Susan Rice blamed Nakoulaâs video for the Benghazi attacks during her five Sunday talk show appearances on September 16, 2012, it served to anger the president of Libya, who shortly before Rice, had identified the attack as an act of terrorism. Last year, State Department whistle blower Gregory Hicks, the Deputy Chief of Mission in Libya at the time of the attacks, testified about this and said Riceâs comments prevented the FBI from getting to the site of the attacks for weeks.
Here is Hicks giving his testimony while being questioned by the current chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC):
Based on the FBIâs relationship with Nakoula and Eiad, the longer it took to get to the scene of the Benghazi attacks, the more compromised that scene would become. A compromised crime scene would have served to aid the perpetuation of the video narrative.
Hicks also testified that he was not interviewed by the FBI:
Silencing Skeptics
Is it unusual for the U.S. Government to empower informants to engage in a massive scheme and criminal enterprise for the purpose of creating a political climate to help push an agenda? Hardly. In much the same way that the Obama State Department championed the âIstanbul Processâ as a vehicle to assault the first amendment, a gunwalking operation was used to assault the second amendment.
In Operation Fast and Furious, multiple federal agencies worked together as part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF). The stated purpose of the operation was to track guns that were being trafficked into Mexico, arrest the bad guys, and confiscate the guns. In reality, as has been clearly demonstrated, the actual purpose was to allow the guns to âwalkâ into Mexico and make their way into the hands of drug cartels after the ATF â an arm of the Justice Department â mandated U.S. gun store owners sell the guns to bad guys.
In 2011, ATF Special Agent in Charge (SAC) William Newell was grilled by House Oversight Committee member, Rep. Patrick Meehan (R-PA) about the operation being an OCDETF case. Newell trapped himself in one of the most compelling moments of Fast and Furious hearings, beginning at the 3:00 mark:
he guns would be picked up at crime scenes and American gun store owners would be blamed in a blood libel (sound familiar?). The cover of that operation was blown after the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. An ATF whistle blower named John Dodson came forward and the scandal was exposed.
If blood libel and the collateral damage of innocent human lives in the interest of pushing an agenda like like gun control was used to launch an assault on the second amendment, why would it be beyond plausibility to envision the same administration launching an assault on the first amendment using to create the climate for speech control?
Ironically â and perhaps not so coincidentally â the man in charge of the Criminal Division involved in both Fast and Furious and the post-Benghazi prosecution of Nakoula was Lanny Breuer.
Obamaâs Marxist Roots
From Obamaâs Marxist Roots we can learn about the term agitprop which describes a tactic that is of Russian origin. It has three definitions one of which is âagitation and propagandaâ, promoted by âagitpropistsâ, people who are trained or take part in such activities. Fast and Furious was clearly agitprop and it was also an OCDETF case, which meant it spread across an entire administration. Such was the anti-Muhammad video which also involved multiple administration agencies and departments. Barack Obamaâs Communist Party USA (CPUSA) mentor was Frank Marshall Davis, a man followed closely by a completely different FBI for 19 years. Davis wasnât just a CPUSA member; he was a Communist writer and propagandist; he was an⦠âagitpropistâ.
In conclusion, cutting a deal with one criminal to help them catch another it didnât want brings legitimate questions about how Nakoulaâs case was handled by Holderâs Criminal Division, where the possible monies obtained for the film, led at the time nationally by a figure whose claim to infamy is that he wound up as a central figure in the Operation Fast and Furious gunwalking scandal â Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer. Along with Holder, Breuer, Dugdale, Birotte should all be deposed by the House Select Committee on Benghazi.
So should Nakoula and Eiad.
The question should be: Why did the law enforcement bureau Holder led refuse to pick up Eiad when offered on a silver platter by Canadian authorities in 2011. What was the source of the monies spent on the movie? Why was Nakoula given a lesser prison sentence to help the FBI arrest someone it didnât want, thereby making the plea deal about something else?
In the days after the Benghazi attacks, Nakoula was arrested for violating the terms of his probation. The optics, coupled with the Obama administrationâs attempts to blame the video for the deaths, clearly communicated that he was being punished for producing a âcrude and disgusting videoâ that was critical of Islam. Unfortunately, the outrage Nakoulaâs arrest generated in conservative circles actually played to the Obama administrationâs advantage creating a distraction from the devastating truth.
Based on this explosive development, enough probable cause exists to investigate whether or not Eiad was involved in financing Nakoulaâs video production. In this ABC News story filed just two days after the Benghazi attacks, it was revealed that the cost of the video was between $50,000 â $60,000 financed by his family in Egypt.
Just two weeks after Benghazi, Shoebat.com published a report about the claim by Nakoula that his âfamilyâ provided him with the funds to produce the video. As we wrote then, this âfamilyâ has not been located:
?
â¦if an Egyptian by the name of Nakoula Bacile Nakoula is blamed for angering over a billion Muslims, it would not be that difficult to find the entire family in Egypt, to include brothers, cousins, aunts, siblings wife, wives, ex-wives, mistresses, and pets, et. al., especially since the riots that spanned across 30 nations were sparked in Egypt.
In the Middle East, you are known by your clan. Yet, Egypt cannot produce neither this manâs family or his background?
Was Eiad the source of the $50,000 â $60,000? The Feds clearly couldnât have their fingerprints on the money but two informants who were beholden to the Justice Department could. Is this why he wasnât taken into custody when the Canadians offered him up?
Providing even further evidence that Nakoulaâs video was about agitprop and blood libel are his initial claims about the source of his funding. According to the ABC News report above, Nakoula attempted to say the video cost $5 Million and was funded by a consortium of wealthy Jewish friends. This was clearly lie.
In a Shoebat.com exclusive, we learned that Nakoula recently told one of the actresses in his video â Cindy Lee Garcia â that he is a Muslim after being confronted by Garcia. This claim is bolstered by the mere partnership of Nakoula and Eiad.
Eiad Salameh is a Muslim fundamentalist who hates Coptic Christians. If Nakoula was a Copt, why would Salameh partner with him? The answer is that Nakoula is a Muslim who used agitprop and blood libel as an agent of the Obama administration and its Justice Department.

Quote:Texas border agents directed not to talk to reporters, warned press may âdisguise themselvesâ
The surge in immigrant children caught crossing the southern border in Texas that has dominated headlines and risks becoming a political crisis for President Barack Obama and Congress includes a new threat facing Border Patrol agents: reporters.
An assistant chief patrol agent, Eligio âLeeâ Pena, warned more than 3,000 Border Patrol agents that journalists looking for information about what Obama has described as a humanitarian crisis are likely to ask for information and âmay try to disguise themselves.â The email, obtained by The Associated Press, said agents should not speak to reporters, on or off duty, without advanced permission and warned that anyone who does could be charged with a crime or disciplined administratively.
Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske told the AP on Friday he was not aware of Penaâs email warnings but said generally, âI am not a fan of telling people not to talk.â Kerlikowske, who has pledged greater transparency since taking over the agency earlier this year, did not formally disavow the directive but added that Border Patrol agents should be focused on their jobs while on duty.
Penaâs email was issued as national news organizations descended on the border to cover the immigration surge, especially children crossing the border alone from Central America. The problem has overwhelmed the Border Patrol. More than 47,000 children traveling alone have been found at the border since the start of the budget year in October.
Pena did not describe what sorts of disguises could be employed by reporters.

Due to a supposed computer crash, the agency only has Lerner emails to and from other IRS employees during this time frame. The IRS claims it cannot produce emails written only to or from Lerner and outside agencies or groups, such as the White House, Treasury, Department of Justice, FEC, or Democrat offices.

Quote:As House Ways and Means Commitee chairman Dave Camp said, "The fact that I am just learning about this, over a year into the investigation, is completely unacceptable and now calls into question the credibility of the IRSâs response to congressional inquiries,â he said in a statement. "There needs to be an immediate investigation and forensic audit by Department of Justice as well as the Inspector General."
According to NRO, the agency informed Camp that a computer crash resulted in the loss of e-mails between January 2009 and April 2011 sent between Lerner and outside agencies such as the White House and the Department of Justice. "Those messages are particularly relevant given revelations earlier this week that the agency in 2010 transmitted a database to the FBI containing confidential taxpayer information, potentially in violation of federal law."
The IRS said in a separate statement that it has or will produce 24,000 e-mails from the period between 2009 and 2011 using the files of 82 individuals with whom Lerner corresponded, and that it has produced nearly all of the 67,000 e-mails sent and received by Lerner during her time at the agency.
Apparently lack of document (and email) retention is a crime for everyone, but not for the IRS. And furthermore, only when it comes to the IRS, can a single computer crash destroy the entire email path history, even as it crosses through countless servers across the world, and ultimately lands in somebody else's inbox.
It goes without saying that for the IRS to even assume someone would believe this particular, and quite spectacular, lie is beyond insulting to even the most gullible idiot among the US population.
So we won't say it.
What, however, was simply a bizarre, if idiotic, lie has just been taken to a whole new level of ridiculousness, when moments ago, representative Steve Stockman (R-Texas) announced he would request that the National Security Agency help in the hunt for missing emails to and from the IRSâs Lois Lerner, and recover two years worth of "lost" emails. From the Hill:
In a letter to NSA Director Michael Rogers on Friday, Stockman requested that the NSA turn over information it has about emails between Lerner and outside groups between January 2009 and April 2011.
Stockmanâs request for the NSAâs âmetadataâ on the emails comes as congressional Republicans probe whether the IRS mishandled applications for tax-exempt status from Tea Party and conservative groups.
In a statement, Stockman said the NSAâs information âwill establish who Lerner contacted and when, which helps investigators determine the extent of illegal activity by the IRS.â
âYour prompt cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated and will help establish how IRS and other personnel violated rights protected by the First Amendment,â Rogers wrote.
Turns out all those jokes about people calling the NSA and asking for backups of lost emails and of course files (because remember, courtesy of complicit megacorporations, the NSA has full backdoor access to everything anyone does) - they weren't jokes at all.
And now the NSA is caught between a rock and a hard place: because if it refuses an officialcongressional demand, it shows once again that the spy agency is entirely separated from any concept of checks and balances and accountability; if it complies, it confirms that all the NSA is, considering it can't even tap into a bunch of Al Qaeda phones and figure out what the jihadists' strategy is in Iraq, is just a massive data repository of all US electronic information, to be abused at will by corrupt, criminal government workers, some of whom will likely have to resort to the "dog ate my emails" excuse in the immediate future.

Absolutely brilliant. Return of Karma?
If I were Stockman, I would not take any plane trips until after this was resolved, randomize my movements, etc.

It sounds as if they know there will be no consequences to their cover-up.
Perhaps, the following is why. I have no idea if this is legit or bogus, but eyebrow-raising if so:
http://www.supremelaw.org/sls/31answers.htm
Quote:1. Is the Internal Revenue Service (âIRSâ) an organization within the U.S. Department of the Treasury?
Answer: No. The IRS is not an organization within the United States Department of the Treasury. The U.S. Department of the Treasury was organized by statutes now codified in Title 31 of the United States Code, abbreviated â31 U.S.C.â The only mention of the IRS anywhere in 31 U.S.C. §§ 301?315 is an authorization for the President to appoint an Assistant General Counsel in the U.S. Department of the Treasury to be the Chief Counsel for the IRS. See 31 U.S.C. 301(f)(2).
At footnote 23 in the case of Chrysler Corp. v. Brown, 441 U.S. 281 (1979), the U.S. Supreme Court admitted that no organic Act for the IRS could be found, after they searched for such an Act all the way back to the Civil War, which ended in the year 1865 A.D. The Guarantee Clause in the U.S. Constitution guarantees the Rule of Law to all Americans (we are to be governed by Law and not by arbitrary bureaucrats). See Article IV, Section 4. Since there was no organic Act creating it, IRS is not a lawful organization.
2. If not an organization within the U.S. Department of the Treasury, then what exactly is the IRS?
Answer: The IRS appears to be a collection agency working for foreign banks and operating out of Puerto Rico under color of the Federal Alcohol Administration (âFAAâ). But the FAA was promptly declared unconstitutional inside the 50 States by the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of U.S. v. Constantine, 296 U.S. 287 (1935), because Prohibition had already been repealed.
...
When all the evidence is examined objectively, IRS appears to be a money laundry, extortion racket, and conspiracy to engage in a pattern of racketeering activity, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1951 and 1961 et seq. (âRICOâ). Think of Puerto RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act); in other words, it is an organized crime syndicate operating under false and fraudulent pretenses.

3. By what legal authority, if any, has the IRS established offices inside the 50 States of the Union?
Answer: After much diligent research, several investigators have concluded that there is no known Act of Congress, nor any Executive Order, giving IRS lawful jurisdiction to operate within any of the 50 States of the Union.

PROOF! Illegal Alien Invasion Was Planned In January 2014!

In a Craigslist ad posted about 17 days ago, our Federal Government is looking for crisis actors for July 4th through July 6th.
âWe are looking for crisis actors for a government emergency drill between July 4-6th. Actors will be responsible for portraying different emergency scenarios in a simulated government terror drill. No experience is needed. Confidentiality agreements are required. Pay is $200. Please message for details.â ~Houston Craigslist
This isnât the first time that they have advertised on Craigslist for âcrisis actorsâ though. It seems to be a major deal, paying decent money if you can catch it before the post is removed from Craigslist. One such post even made the news on Infowars shortly before the LAX Shooting.

Quote:Some facts to consider:
1 There are 25,356 government agency workers earning $180,000 or more.
2 18,709 of those workers work at the Department of Veteran Affairs (5% of workforce).
3 2,355 are at the Department of Health and Human Services (3% of workforce).
4 1,605 are at the Department of Transportation (3% of workforce).
Note, again, that this list is of civilian workers â no members of the military are included; neither does it include the Judiciary Branch or congressional staff. By way of contrast, the percentage of those earning more than $180,000 at the Department of Defense, the largest agency of the government, is just under 1/2%.

Quote:Days after IRS officials said in a sworn statement that former top agency employee Lois G. Lernerâs computer memory had been wiped clean, the agency put out word to contractors Monday that it needs help to destroy at least another 3,200 hard drives.
The Internal Revenue Service solicitation for âmedia destructionâ services reflects an otherwise routine job to protect sensitive taxpayer information, but it was made while the agencyâs record destruction practices remain under a sharp congressional spotlight.

Quote:The head of the IRS confirmed Wednesday that investigators looking into missing emails from ex-agency official Lois Lerner have found and are reviewing "backup tapes" -- despite earlier IRS claims that the tapes had been recycled.
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, testifying before a House oversight subcommittee, stressed that he does not know "how they found them" or "whether there's anything on them or not." But he said the inspector general's office advised him the investigators are reviewing tapes to see if they contain any "recoverable" material.
The revelation is significant because the IRS claimed, when the agency first told Congress about the missing emails, that backup tapes "no longer exist because they have been recycled."
It is unclear whether the tapes in IG custody contain any Lerner emails, but Koskinen said investigators are now checking.

Quote:The IRS destroyed former Lois Lernerâs BlackBerry after Congress started probing whether the IRS was targeting conservative groups. Lerner was director of the Exempt Organizations Division of the IRS. A sworn declaration of Thomas Kane, a senior IRS lawyer, reveals that in June 2012, the IT department of the IRS wiped any sensitive or proprietary information from the BlackBerry in preparation for its destruction.
The declaration is part of a lawsuit against the IRS brought by the conservative watchdog group, Judicial Watch. The group said last week in a related statement that Department of Justice attorneys for the IRS told them last week that all government computer records, including emails, are backed up. They said, however, that to search the backup system would be too onerous. Judicial Watch lashed out at the DOJâs position.
âThis is a jaw-dropping revelation,â said the organizationâs president, Tom Fitton, in a statement. âThe Obama administration had been lying to the American people about Lois Lernerâs missing emails. There are no âmissingâ Lois Lerner emailsânor missing emails of any of the other top IRS or other government officials whose emails seem to be disappearing at increasingly alarming rate.â
Judicial Watch also said it plans to raise searching backup files with the judge in the case, Judge Emmett Sullivan.
The White House has said that despite

I never expected TPTB to ultimately release self-incriminating files. The main thing I see that Judicial Watch is doing (positively) is in raising the consciousness of the general public that there is a public government and a private (in every sense of the word) government. I will leave it to the gentle reader as to which government is in charge...

You know, the best way to 'predict' the future so-called President - whoever it may turn out to be - would be to heavily monitor the next few Bilderberg meetings. Carter was 'invited' there before his nomination. Don't know about Reagan. Bush I&II were already 'insiders', so didn't need 'blessings'. Pre-nomination, both Hillary and Barak disappeared from view for a few hours while being very close to the Bilderberg meeting conveniently held in America. Barak just went to the last Bilderberg meeting, publicly. If it were me, I would keep a very close eye on all likely candidates and see who is invited or shows up at a Bilderberg meeting. Voilà !

Quote:WASHINGTON (AP) -- The IRS says it has lost emails from five more workers who are part of congressional investigations into the treatment of conservative groups that applied for tax exempt status.
The tax agency said in June that it could not locate an untold number of emails to and from Lois Lerner, who headed the IRS division that processes applications for tax-exempt status. The revelation set off a new round of investigations and congressional hearings.
On Friday, the IRS said it has also lost emails from five other employees related to the probe, including two agents who worked in a Cincinnati office processing applications for tax-exempt status.

VIDEO: Obama IRS Commissioner: Destroying Lernerâs Records Illegal, But it Wasnât Intentional
September 18, 2014 By Matthew Burke
Quote:Koskinen, an Obama regime appointee, admitted that for the IRS to have destroyed Lernerâs records would be ânot consistent with the law,â but made a weak argument in attempting to justify the cover-up by promising that thereâs no evidence that the Obama IRS destroyed the evidence on purpose.
RELATED: Game-Changer: Lois Lernerâs IRS Emails Exist; But Will Obama Admin Look for Them?
As the Daily Caller points out, while Koskinen claimed the Obama IRS had no system for the IRS to back up or store emails, a laughable claim refuted by prior testimony, Koskinen failed to mention that the agency terminated its long-term contract with a data retrieving and storage company, Sonasoft, very shortly after Lernerâs computer âcrashed.â

Standard Clinton Procedure on Benghazi
Did Hillaryâs files get the Whitewater treatment once again?
By Deroy Murdock
Quote:According to a retired high-level U.S. diplomat, top aides to former secretary of state Hillary Clinton concealed embarrassing documents from investigators probing the deadly Islamic-terror attack of September 11, 2012, in Benghazi, Libya. For longtime Clinton watchers, this story of sneaky staffers and stashed papers sounds like an episode of a 1990s teledrama called Whitewater.
Former deputy assistant secretary of state Raymond Maxwell says he learned about unusual activity in the State Departmentâs basement as the Accountability Review Board (ARB) sought official records pertinent to the Benghazi assault, which killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, Foreign Service officer Sean Smith, and former Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods.
âI heard about it and decided to check it out on a Sunday afternoon,â Maxwell told the Washington-based Daily Signalâs Sharyl Attkisson, an Emmy-winning former CBS News correspondent. Maxwell, a 21-year-veteran Foreign Service officer, says he encountered an office director who served Clintonâs leading advisers. She stood among cartons of documents and piles of papers.
âShe told me, âRay, we are to go through these stacks and pull out anything that might put anybody in the [Near Eastern Affairs] front office or the seventh floor in a bad light,ââ Maxwell told Attkisson. The secretary and top personnel occupy Stateâs seventh floor.
Maxwell asked his colleague, ââBut isnât that unethical?â She responded, âRay, those are our orders.ââ
Maxwell says that Hillaryâs thenâchief of staff, Cheryl Mills, and thenâdeputy chief of staff, Jake Sullivan, also were in the basement, inspecting pre-attack diplomatic cables and other items and deciding what to show the ARB and what to spare them. Maxwell considered this âan exercise in misdirection.â
âThe Clinton aidesâ late-night basement document-sanitization-project is called, in common parlance, conspiracy and obstruction of justice,â says Sidney Powell, a former federal prosecutor who represented the U.S. government in some 350 criminal cases. The author of Licensed to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice told me: âThese revelations scream for a full congressional inquiry, and really â a grand-jury investigation â that now must include possible charges of criminal conduct by government officials and the involvement and knowledge of the Secretary herself.â
Powell added: âThis conduct implicates crimes of conspiracy (18 U.S.C. Sections 371 and 1512) and witness tampering (which includes misleading conduct that causes someone to withhold a document from an official proceeding (18 U.S.C. Section 1512(a)(1)©). The penalties for these criminal offenses include terms of imprisonment for up to 20 years.â
âThat allegation is totally without merit,â protested State Department spokesman Alec Gerlach. Nonetheless, Maxwellâs accusations are consistent with Hillaryâs past.
âIn 1988, Mrs. Clinton ordered the destruction of records relating to her representation of Mr. [Jim] McDougalâs Madison S&L,â states the 1996 Final Report of the Special Committee to Investigate Whitewater Development Corporation. âThis was not a routine destruction of records. At the time, federal regulators were investigating the operation and solvency of Madison in anticipation of taking it over.â

Famed Conservative Ruled Innocent, Receives Outrageous Sentence Anyway
Quote:Judge Richard Berman has handed down an absolutely outrageous sentence to Conservative author and political filmmaker, Dinesh DâSouza, who was indicted on illegal campaign finance allegations.
Though he was not convicted of any illegal activities, DâSouza has been given five years probation, ordered to pay a $30,000 fine, and will spend 8 months in a community confinement facility.
The community confinement portion of his sentence will entail âresidence in a halfway house, restitution center, community treatment center, mental health facility, alcohol or drug rehabilitation center, or other community facility.â
DâSouza must also undergo psychological counseling during his period of confinement.
You can be sure that we will be bringing you updates to this disturbing story of a noted Conservative being attacked by Obamaâs Department of Justice.
