A National Review article by Ian Tuttle describes a crime that was committed-Obstruction of Justice:
“According to the second round of IRS affidavits submitted to U.S. district court judge Emmett Sullivan, who is presiding over the lawsuit brought against the nation’s tax agency by watchdog group Judicial Watch, Inc., IRS technical analysts did not search Lois Lerner’s Blackberry for her allegedly “lost” e-mails — and the smartphone was destroyed after congressional investigation had begun.” Read Article Here…
It is very clear that a series of felonies has occurred.
First Felony: IRS Persecutes Conservative Groups using Audits and Denials of Exemptions. (One of the Articles of Impeachment charged against President Nixon)
Second Felony: When Persecution is Unveiled and Investigation begins, IRS claims Under Oath that all email communications from Head Officer were lost in computer crash. Then IRS states that hard drive can not be recovered because its been destroyed.
Third Felony: While Congressional Investigation is Ongoing, IRS Head Officers’ Smart Phone is Wiped Clean and Destroyed to prevent same emails which were on “crashed computer” from being viewed.
How many felonies should the IRS commit before Congress or a Grand Jury charges someone with a crime.
And just to be sure everyone understands the way our system is designed to handle the application of the Rule of Law to crimes committed by the Government. Here are at least two remedies to this situation:
1. Congress files charges on individuals (also called Articles of Impeachment) who Obstructed Justice by destroying evidence during a Congressional Investigation and lying under Oath. Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution clearly states that the House of Representatives has the “sole power of Impeachment” or filing of charges. Article 1, Section 3 gives the power to try the case to the Senate. So the House of Reps acts as the Grand Jury filing the charges and the Senate acts as the Courtroom hearing, trying the case and imposing punishment.
Impeachment is a formal process in which an official is accused of unlawful activity, the outcome of which, depending on the country, may include the removal of that official from office as well as criminal or civil punishment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment
2. Any State Grand Jury within a State where the alleged crime has taken place can formally charge any individual for crimes committed.
Grand Jury: The United States is the only common law jurisdiction in the world that continues to use the grand jury to screen criminal indictments. Generally speaking, a grand jury may issue an indictment for a crime, also known as a “true bill,” only if it finds, based upon the evidence that has been presented to it, that there is probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed by a criminal suspect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_juries_in_the_United_States
America’s foundation is the Rule of Law. If we have no Rule of Law there is no America. When will the American People demand that charges are filed on any and all government officials who commit crimes? The remedies are there. The solutions exist but only need to be exercised. Inform yourselves on how our eloquent legal system is supposed to work, so that we can get back to a country which prides itself on Equal Application of the Law.
