Federal Judge Threatens To Hold IRS Commissioner, Justice Attorneys In Contempt Over Lerner Emails.
This was quite the week for those of us demanding that the Obama IRS be held accountable to the rule of law for its abuse of innocent taxpayers. We received more documents that expose more Obama administration misconduct and lies in the IRS scandal. And a federal court judge threatened to hold the IRS Commissioner personally in contempt over the agency’s violation of his court orders.
U.S District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan threatened to hold the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service and Justice Department attorneys in contempt of court after the IRS failed to produce status reports and newly recovered emails of Lois Lerner, former director of the Exempt Organizations Unit of the IRS, as he had ordered on July 1, 2015.
During the a status hearing Wednesday, Sullivan warned that the failure to follow his order was serious and that the IRS and Justice Department’s excuses for not following his July 1 order were “indefensible” ridiculous, and absurd.” He asked the IRS’ Justice Department lawyer Geoffrey Klimas, “Why didn’t the IRS comply” with his court order and “why shouldn’t the court hold the commissioner of the IRS in contempt?” Judge Sullivan referenced his contempt findings against Justice Department prosecutors in the prosecution of late Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK) and reminded the Justice Department attorney the court has the ability to detain him for contempt. Warning he would tolerate no further disregard of his orders, Judge Sullivan said:
If there is further noncompliance, I will haul into court the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service to show cause why that person should not be personally held in contempt of court. I can’t make that any clearer.”
Ohhhh contempt, bet that will scare the beJesus out of the fuckers at the IRS.
Until we see some of these bureaucrats put in cuffs and marched off to do time until they spill their guts on the higher ups, it’s all bullshit.
If however this is in fact the basis to get that eventual end to come about, don’t for the love of god, have Darrell Issa involved.
That is another face that I cannot bear to see anymore. He always seems to have a smirk on his face. He’s a arrogant bastard. He does not respect the people he is supposed to serve. How do these pricks get in a position of power?
Yeah, not Holdering my breath.
Speaking about the IRS Commissioner.
Put his lily white ass in the DC Jail for a month.
He’ll comply with the law.
I guarantee it.
“Until we see some of these bureaucrats put in cuffs and marched off to do time until they spill their guts on the higher ups, it’s all bullshit.”
Never, ever, spoken more succinctly.
He’s already in contempt, he’s contemptible looking. He reminds me of that serpent Carvelle.
He does! Were they all born in the forest under a shitload of mossy rocks???? Sheesh!
I got ten bucks sez this Judge has the stones to order Koskinen to appear before the Court in person, in order to have his ass duck-walked off to the county jail in handcuffs for contempt.
This one is gonna be really fun to watch…
Yes! Great comparison.
Their a load of shit hatched in the forest under mossy rocks!
I imagine that is why the US Gov. banned water boarding. Imagine what information could be extracted from these life long politicians who have been fucking over us for the past sixty plus years?.
I know, I know. But when a Joe Schmoe like me listens to these smug pricks, humming and hawing, and twisting, and squirming, and still saying nothing. It just pisses me off.
Moe Tom: Mr. Lois Lerner was it your conscience objective to deny Tea Party Organizations, tax exempt status, and to delay and harass them as much as possible?
Ms. Lerner: No, no.
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, splash, gurgle
Ms. Lerner: YES, YES,YEEEEEESSSSSSS. IT WAS, YES!
Case closed.
The problem is the headline says “…threatens…” – Democrats laugh at threats, Republicans cower in fear, pee their pants and look for the fastest way to surrender
And who, Ms. Lerner ordered you to do this?
Nobody
You did it on your own?
Yes.
Gurgle, gurgle, splash, gurgle…..
IT WAS, sputter, THE WHITE HOUSE, MY BOSS, o please, I WAS ORDERED..
Get a good night’s sleep Ms Lerner, I’ll have you back tomorrow at 5:30 am.
He is in contempt — Contempt of Constitution.
These contemptible minions are merely tools.
But if they rat out their handlers, they can expect the
Vince Foster/Ron brown treatment…
“Cut off the head, and the snake will die.”
I want to see some Perp Walks!
Ah that darn Amendment V111:
“Excessive bail shall not be required,nor excessive fines imposed,nor cruel and unusual punishment inflicted.”
The progs like that one. The only ones they dislike are Amendments 1 (sometimes), and 11 constantly.
Ms. Lerner, are you awake now? Boys, she does not seem to be coming out of our last session. Will you please notify her next of kin, call an ambulance, and then usher Mr. Koskinen into the water boarding room? Our next session will begin shortly.
I break the law or ignore laws I go to jail. Why does this turd get to do it and get away with it? I would have more faith in the process if people were jailed immediately for law breaking-especially an elected official.
