Oh yeah, sure.....the most Transparent Administration, Evaaa! What say ye?
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the IRS share a problem: officials say they cannot provide the emails a congressional committee has requested because an employee’s hard drive crashed. EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy confirmed to the House Oversight Committee Wednesday that her staff is unable to provide lawmakers all of the documents they have requested on the proposed Pebble Mine in Alaska, because of a 2010 computer crash.
“We’re having trouble getting the data off of it and we’re trying other sources to actually supplement that,” McCarthy said. “We’re challenged in figuring out where those small failures might have occurred and what caused them occur, but we’ve produced a lot of information.” “We have tried to serve a subpoena on your former employee and we have asked for the failed hard drive from this Alaskan individual who now is in New Zealand, and seems to never be returning,” Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the committee’s chairman, said Wednesday.
Emails provided by the committee show that EPA told congressional investigators about the hard drive crash months ago. But McCarthy said she only told the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) about the problem Tuesday.The NARA enforces the Federal Records Act, which governs federal agencies’ responsibilities to maintain records.
Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) said EPA probably violated the Federal Records Act by not backing up North’s emails.

Unlike the Senate and Sen. Rubio who did git er done.Jesus Christ!
Sassy is a good reason to throw away hundreds of millions doing nothing.This govt is getting far too sassy. They need to be taken down a notch.
And of course all the Iraqis killed didn't gin up their hatred for us either right ?Well we've lived through Obama, they will live through a Republican.
I notice the leftists make themselves pretty scarce here. For a while, I thought this was almost entirely a conservative forum. If they do participate, it is usually, nothing more than a few jabs, never a post with content or a link to back up their beliefs. I've pretty much given them an engraved invitation and all they do is invite me outside to duke it out! LOL. Not my style.

And since the fire burned out on the "select" committee already, Boehner needed to feed the TEAs some red meat after the Cochran Dems fiasco .
Is this for real? I took it to be a joke.
Questioning? On here they are dead silent! They cannot defend Obama's unconscionable actions and the aren't even giving it a try.

But you do have to give ear to the poster on this thread who quantified why many Americans aren't more involved. They are trying to survive. And after that you need to address the perfectly capable voters who go to the polls and register their 'none of the above' vote. Everyone needs to be badgering their Congressmen and women to do something about this mess that will be effective and long lasting..
Well Issa did say that the guy doesn't appear to be returning. Even when she was testifying.....she put up her desk nameplate. Hon. and her name.
Hon for Honorable......huh? :lol:

Wow--eleven straight posts in this thread Maenud-
Unlike the Senate and Sen. Rubio who did git er done.
Guess that tame step-by-step method of Cantor didn't work.
And McDaniel should have used the "Immigration" card on Cochran--Cochran Dems :lamo
[NIMBY] carried on counting [not so] quietly. This is about the most aggressive thing you can do to a computer, the equivalent of going up to a human being and saying "Blood...blood...blood...blood...”

Lerner will make some lucky lady a fine wife in prison.
Did you really say that Lerner will make some lucky lady a fine wife in prison?
I can't imagine Ronald Reagan, born and bred in my state of IL, ever supporting that kind of statement .
I believe strongly in government personnel right up to the President keeping records and recordings of their activities. Of all their activities. As this is an essential block in keeping government under control, I would hope that the punishment is harsh at the level that lost it and the two levels above, when such information is not available.
Are you sure you want to go with Reagan not supporting an abrasive, IYF style of DGAF attitude towards OBVIOUS corruption.Neither, too, would he have supported such an abrasive, in your face style of DGAF attitude towards OBVIOUS corruption.
But nothing on the "Immigration" card that Boehner is preemptively suing over, along with ACA.
But wait--Boehner/TEA doesn't know what he's suing over yet, just that he's suing.
And you're 2-0 today with your GOP USSC.

“This must be Thursday... [NIMBY] never could get the hang of Thursdays.”
Roughly quoted from Douglas Adams
Ronal Reagan is dead. He will not be supporting any kind of statement. :roll:
