Regime Archivist: IRS "Didn't Follow" Law With Lost Emails

by JASmius

....but they didn't break the law, oh heavens, no:


The Internal Revenue Service did not follow the law when it failed to report the loss of records belonging to a senior IRS executive, the nation's top archivist told Congress Tuesday.

"Any agency is required to notify us when they realize they have a problem," David Ferriero, archivist of the U.S. during a House Oversight and Government Reform committee hearing....

Pressed by a congressman, Tuesday, Ferriero would not state that the IRS broke the law. He would only say that the agency didn't "follow" the law.
Does anybody - anybody at all - still think the Obama White House is in any trouble or legal jeopardy over IRSgate?  At least in their own estimation?  I know that the Left has hijacked the meaning of most words in the English language, but if an agency is required - which in this context generally means by law - to do something and they do not do it, they have broken that law.  Not "bent" it, not "tweaked" it, not "twerked" it, not "stretched" it, not "failed to follow" it, but broken it.

But, hell, what's one more broken law for this bunch at this point?  You could probably more quickly count the number of laws they haven't broken versus the ones they have.  And yet it doesn't change anything, and they know it, because, once again, they have all the power and they know nobody and nothing can touch them.  Period.

Or, at least, they believe that.  And they have yet to be disproven in that belief.  And so their mockery of justice oozes onward.

Today's punchline?:

The National Archives and Records Administration did not learn about the lost records until earlier this month, Ferriero said.

They probably saw it in the news, I'm supposing.  Doesn't everybody?
