Twenty Obama Officials & Witnesses Have 'Lost' Their Emails After Launched Probe

[UncleBeer 244]

Well, at least the O'bama administration is good at something. Clearly this is the new "dog ate my homework".

The revelation that Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services administrator Marilynn Tavenner did not retain her e-mails means that more than 20 witness in the Obama administration to lose or delete e-mails without notifying Congress, according to the top House investigator.

“The Obama administration has lost or destroyed e-mails for more than 20 witnesses, and in each case, the loss wasn’t disclosed to the National Archives or Congress for months or years, in violation of federal law,” House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman Darrell Issa (R., Calif.) said ofTavenner’s lost e-mails.

“It defies logic that so many senior Administration officials were found to have ignored federal recordkeeping requirements only after Congress asked to see their e-mails,” he continued. “Just this week, my staff followed up with HHS, who has failed to comply with a subpoena from ten months ago. Even at that point, the administration did not inform us that there was a problem with Ms. Tavenner’s e-mail history. Yet again, we discover that this administration will not be forthright with the American people unless cornered.”

More important than the fact these officials didn't follow archiving guidelines is that it's taken years under subpoena to even get them to release any information to Congress; even that they 'lost' emails. Anyone not finding all this suspicious has their head in the sand.

Only liberals. or most only liberals, With the wave of a hand everything disappears ..... Time after time. Talk about those Watergate tapes being erased....This just goes on and on and on.

Obama just misunderstood what transparency meant.

Simple mistake. Could have happened to anyone.

And "rule of law" as well. Any Constitutional scholar could make the same mistake.

The thread receives the commentary it deserves. Sorry, but you right wingers have cried wolf a few too many times already.

Facts in the National Review. :rofl:

The National Review is a publication for conservative opinion and commentary. Opinion and commentary are NOT facts. Most- but obviously not all - people know that.

Facts in the National Review.

The facts themselves are not in dispute (I notice you didn't even try...). There is an epidemic of administration officials 'losing' important emails at crucial moments.

But you raise a good point: why isn't the mainstream media covering this? If this was a Republican administration, they'd be all over this like ugly on an ape. And I predict that if a Republican wins the general in '16, there will be a renaissance in investigative journalism.
