Email Shows Lois Lerner Warned IRS Employees To Hide Information From Congress As Tea Party Scandal

Telling people to be cautious about the content of their email is not the same as warning them to hide information. Either you didn't understand the article or decided to lie about it anyway. Given your ideological leanings, I believe you chose to lie intentionally in the headline.

Clown show continues.

 

Bobmarley, if you haven't had anoffice job you likely wouldn't understand, but telling people to be cautious in their communications is something that occurs in all workplaces. My boss tells me to be cautious of what I say in emails, too. Thankfully it is innocent until proven guilty in America and thank god that choosing not to testify in court can't be pointed to as evidence of guilt. The Constitution has been read to protect us from people like you who see culpability in every action.

 

I do New Hire Orientations every Monday and one of the things I point out is to be very careful about email. Specifically, I tell them not to put anything in an email that they wouldn't be comfortable having published on the front page of the Houston Chronicle the next day.

 

Yes, this is because the GOP have been blowing smoke on this issue even though there doesn't appear to be anything of substance there.

 

Funny... I say the same thing during new hire orientation. AND every Monday nonetheless.

 

You're absolutely right that this happens all the time in the workplace. Most of the time, the employer wants to make sure you're not sending inappropriate/personal emails or anything with proprietary information to outside the company.

The wording here is a little odd though, since she seems to be saying be careful about your emails specifically because Congress might be looking.

 

IRS ignored advice to use outside experts to recover data.

I think it's pretty clear that at this point that this is actually serious - but can I take a moment to castigate the Tea Party for their repeated attacks over the years? Thanks to all sorts of ridiculous charges like Fast and Furious, Benghazi, and so on, we have a complete "boy cried wolf" scenario.

 

In a pre-Christmas document dump, Darrell Issa's committee admitted there was no wrongdoing by the White House with regard to the IRS non-scandal.

Tell that to fine-ass Nancy Temple.
