\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: John Koskinen, IRS commissioner, major Democrat donor, testified before Congress again last night regarding the IRS targeting of conservative groups and the mysterious disappearance of Lois Lerner\u2019s e-mails<\/a>. Just some things I want you to remember as you listen to the sound bites. <\/line>Koskinen has donated nearly $100,000 to Democrat candidates and groups. He has been donating to Democrats for four decades starting with a $1,000 contribution to Gary Hart when he was a candidate for the Senate in Colorado in 1979. <\/line><\/p>\n

Now, fine, Obama can put in there whoever he wants, but we have the responsibility of knowing what that means. The IRS is supposed to be an objective, blinded-by-politics agency. None of that is supposed to matter, and we know that it does matter totally with this Regime. So that\u2019s who this guy is. He\u2019s an arrogant, condescending know-it-all who doesn\u2019t know nearly what he thinks he knows. Who doesn\u2019t know who told him about Lois Lerner\u2019s e-mails<\/a>. He has no idea. <\/p>\n

He isn\u2019t sure why the IRS didn\u2019t use its existing backup system to recover her e-mails<\/a> when he was told, but he doesn\u2019t remember by who, that they were missing. No effort was made to recover them. And he\u2019s also pretty sure that no laws have been broken despite his admission that he doesn\u2019t know the relevant statutes. <\/line>So with that little background, let us now head to the audio sound bites. We\u2019re going to start with Trey Gowdy. I think Trey Gowdy was superb last night. He is talking to Koskinen, he says, “You\u2019re an attorney. Can you explain to our fellow citizens what the term ‘foliation of evidence\u2019 means?”<\/line><\/p>\n

KOSKINEN: I have no idea what that means. I practiced law once 45 years ago, gave it up for lent one year, never went back.<\/p>\n

GOWDY: If you destroyed something, the jury has a right to infer that whatever you destroyed would not have been good for you, or else every litigant would destroy whatever evidence was detrimental to them. Agreed?<\/p>\n

KOSKINEN: I\u2019m not sure. I think if you destroy the evidence and people could prove it, it wouldn\u2019t be a good thing for your defense.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, there\u2019s a little smart aleck in the first part of this answer, because Trey Gowdy says, “You\u2019re an attorney. Can you explain to our fellow citizens what the term ‘foliation of evidence\u2019 means?” <\/p>\n

“I have no idea what it means. I practiced law once 45 years ago, gave it up for lent, never went back.” I mean, that\u2019s an in-your-face, snarky little answer. And Gowdy points out, if you destroy evidence, the jury has a right to infer that whatever you destroyed would have harmed your case, otherwise every litigant would destroy whatever evidence was detrimental to them. And Koskinen said, “I\u2019m not sure that\u2019s true. If you destroy the evidence and people could prove it, it wouldn\u2019t be a good thing for your defense.” Wrong. In a court of law where evidence is everything, if you can get rid of it and there isn\u2019t any, and the jury cannot infer that you threw away something detrimental, then it could help you. The conversation continued.<\/line><\/p>\n

GOWDY: They jury can draw, when they\u00c2\u2019re instructed they can draw a negative inference. And that\u2019s true if a taxpayer is being sued by the IRS administratively, civilly or prosecuted criminally and they fail to keep documents the jury can draw a negative inference from the fact that they didn\u00c2\u2019t keep receipts or e-mails or documents. So if it\u2019s true and it applies to a taxpayer it ought to apply to the IRS as well. Agreed? <\/p>\n

KOSKINEN: Is this a trial? Is this a jury? Is that what you\u2019re —<\/p>\n

GOWDY: I said administrative, civil, or criminal, if you want to go down that road, I\u2019m happy to go down it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Again, a snarky, in-your-face response. See, the guy is a classic leftist. He\u2019s not up there to answer questions like he\u2019s supposed to or to explain what happened to these e-mails or what the IRS is doing. Congress has oversight; that\u2019s what this committee is all about, and this guy\u2019s trying to taunt. He\u2019s no different than Tommy Vietor who appeared with Bret Baier on Fox. (imitating Vietor) “Come on, dude, that\u2019s two years or so ago. You\u2019re an idiot. You\u2019re a fool. Don\u2019t worry, don\u2019t waste my time with that.” Same attitude here, one of cavalier superiority, if you will, being exhibited by Koskinen. <\/p>\n

So, next, Gowdy gets Koskinen to admit that he doesn\u2019t know anything about the law.<\/p>\n

GOWDY: You have already said multiple times today that there was no evidence that you found of any criminal wrongdoing. I want you to tell me what criminal statutes you\u2019ve evaluated.<\/p>\n

KOSKINEN: I have not looked at any.<\/p>\n

RUSH: “I have not looked at any.” He says it with defiance, like, “Screw you! I haven\u2019t looked up the law. I don\u2019t care! It doesn\u2019t matter. I can do whatever I want to do, and you can\u2019t stop me. I\u2019m in the IRS, and I\u2019m part of the Obama administration, and you people are powerless, and there\u2019s nothing you can do to stop us no matter what. I\u2019ll come up here and talk to you, but I\u2019m not gonna answer any of your questions at all and I\u2019m gonna just be smart-alecky right back with you.” <\/line>Gowdy then brings it home.<\/line><\/p>\n

<\/a>GOWDY: How can you possibly tell our fellow citizens that there\u2019s no criminal wrongdoing if you don\u2019t even know what statutes to look at?<\/p>\n

KOSKINEN: ‘Cause I\u2019ve seen no evidence that anyone consciously —<\/p>\n

GOWDY: Well, how would you know what elements of the crime existed? You don\u2019t even know what statutes are in play. I\u2019m gonna ask you again: What statutes have you evaluated?<\/p>\n

KOSKINEN: Ahhh, I think you can rely on common sense that nothing I have seen —<\/p>\n

GOWDY: Common sense? Instead of the criminal code, you want to rely on common sense? Now, Mr. Koskinen you can shake your head all you want to. Commissioner, you have said today that there\u2019s no evidence of criminal wrong doing, and I\u2019m asking you what criminal statutes you have reviewed to reach that conclusion.<\/p>\n

KOSKINEN: I reviewed no criminal statute.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (translated) “Because I\u2019m from the Obama administration, and the law is what we say it is. The law is what we think it is. I don\u2019t care what the statute says, Gowdy! It doesn\u2019t matter. The statute doesn\u2019t apply. Don\u2019t you understand? This is the Obama administration, and I\u2019m the commissioner of the IRS, and we\u2019re not bound by the law. Have you not been paying any attention? <\/p>\n

“Have you noticed all the waivers to Obamacare? We\u2019re breaking the law every day, and there nothing you can do about it! (Raspberry!)” That\u2019s Koskinen. That\u2019s exactly what he\u2019s saying; that\u2019s exactly who he is. “The law doesn\u2019t matter to us! Can\u2019t you look around, Gowdy? Can\u2019t you see? We\u2019re breaking the law every day, getting away with it every day. I don\u2019t have to know what the law is \u2019cause there isn\u2019t any law! <\/p>\n

“We are the Obama administration, and I demand that you stop this. You can\u2019t stop us; there\u2019s nothing you can do to stop us.” It is clear that there\u2019s no respect for this committee, no respect for the law, no respect whatsoever. This is a statist mentality. This is utter defiance. I mean, this guy needs to be impeached. We impeached Nixon for less than this kind of stuff! Nixon only dreamed about doing what this guy\u2019s done!<\/p>\n

Nixon only dreamed about doing what Lois Lerner has done. Nixon only dreamed of using the IRS to damage his political opponents. He never did it, but they wanted to convict him of a thought crime nevertheless. Well, these people have done it, and now they\u2019re being called on it, and they\u2019re asked to explain it. “You say you haven\u2019t seen any violation of the law. What law are you talking about?” <\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t know. I didn\u2019t look at any law.” <\/p>\n

“You didn\u2019t look at any law? Then what law are you talking about?” <\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t have to look at any law, Mr. Gowdy. There isn\u2019t any! We are the Obama administration. We break the law every day, and we do it with impunity! (Raspberry) you!” That\u2019s what happened here. Next it\u2019s Jim Jordan, Republican from Ohio. He says, “I want to focus on when you did officially learn about the missing e-mails, according to your definition. The chairman asked you who told you this information. You say you can\u2019t remember?”<\/p>\n

KOSKINEN: I do not remember.<\/p>\n

JORDAN: Did someone tell you in person? Did they send you an e-mail? How did you get the information?<\/p>\n

KOSKINEN: I don\u2019t recall. I do not get e-mails on these subjects so I\u2019m sure it was someone in person.<\/p>\n

JORDAN: Someone in person? This has been a major news story for the last 13 months, and you don\u2019t remember who came up to you and said, “Hey, boss, we lost Lois Lerner\u2019s e-mails”? You don\u2019t even remember anything about that situation?<\/p>\n

<\/a>KOSKINEN: I remember being told in April.<\/p>\n

JORDAN: But you don\u2019t remember who told you?<\/p>\n

KOSKINEN: I do not recall who told me, no.<\/p>\n

JORDAN: Something of that — <\/p>\n

KOSKINEN: Yeah. I have —<\/p>\n

JORDAN: Something that\u2019s been a front-page story, you would think that would be significant enough to remember how it happened, when they told you, what the actual date was.<\/p>\n

KOSKINEN: Gotta remember: I\u2019m running an agency with 90,000 people. We are dealing with a whole set of — <\/p>\n

JORDAN: And this has been the biggest issue in front of your agency for the last year.<\/p>\n

KOSKINEN: We\u2019re in the middle of filing season as all this is going on!<\/p>\n

JORDAN: Okay, so here we go. Here we go.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, and of course, “I interact with all 90,000 every people every day. They work for me, they\u2019re my friends, and I talk to all of them every day. I can\u2019t possibly tell you who told me this.” <\/line>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Back to the audio sound bites. The House Oversight Government Reform Committee hearing on the IRS recordkeeping practices, the loss of e-mails related to Lois Lerner. John Koskinen, the commissioner\/$100,000 Democrat donor was testifying. Jim Jordan, Ohio, says, “The Treasury department knew, the White House knew in April, but we didn\u2019t know about Lois Lerner\u2019s missing e-mails \u2019til June. The White House knew in April. Treasury knew. We didn\u2019t find out \u2019til June.”<\/p>\n

KOSKINEN: No one in the IRS talked to the White House.<\/line><\/p>\n

JORDAN: How\u2019d they find out?<\/p>\n

KOSKINEN: (pause) I\u2019m told by the, uh, people who\u2019ve read the White House letterthat the White House found out from Treasury. Nobody from the IRS talked with the White House.<\/p>\n

JORDAN: Someone from the IRS talked to Treasury, then.<\/p>\n

KOSKINEN: Uh, that\u2019s what I understand.<\/p>\n

JORDAN: We\u2019d like to know who that person is. I hope you\u2019ll find out. Could you make a commitment to this committee tonight that you\u2019re going to go find out who that individual was, who those individuals were who talked to the Treasury chief counsel, who then talked to the White House two months before the people\u2019s house got that same information? <\/p>\n

KOSKINEN: (silence)<\/p>\n

JORDAN: Can you make that commitment?<\/p>\n

KOSKINEN: I\u2019ll do my best.<\/p>\n

RUSH: “(Raspberry) you!” You may say, “Why does this matter?” Because the IRS knew that these e-mails were gone — purposely, probably — and didn\u2019t tell the Congress. They\u2019re telling everybody else in the Regime to get them up to speed, to let them know what\u2019s going on, but they\u2019re keeping the information from the oversight committee.<\/line>So up next is Jason Chaffetz, who is a Republican from Utah. He says to Koskinen, “When Lois Lerner figured out on June 13, 2011, that her computer crashed — and there have been e-mails showing that she was going to great lengths to try to get them recovered — why didn\u2019t they just go to the six-month tape and get \u2019em back?”<\/line><\/p>\n

KOSKINEN: ‘Cause that six-month tape is a disaster-recovery tape that has all of the e-mails on it and is a very complicated tape to actually extract, uhhh, e-mails for. But I have not seen any e-mails to explain why they didn\u2019t do it, so I… I… It would be difficult, but I don\u2019t know why.<\/p>\n

JORDAN: Did anybody try?<\/p>\n

KOSKINEN: I have no idea — indication that they did.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, this is… (laughs) They\u2019ve got a backup tape, right? It\u2019s a six-month back up tape. It\u2019s an emergency backup tape, so the e-mails are there. “But it\u2019s just worthless, Mr. Chaffetz. I\u2019m sorry, but we may as well not even have it \u2019cause it\u2019s so hard to find what you want from that tape, because everything\u2019s on it. We\u2019ve never been able to get anything from it \u2019cause it\u2019s just so… Well, it\u2019s crowded. <\/p>\n

“There are so many e-mails. It\u2019s so much backed-up history on the six-month tape that it\u2019s a very complicated tape to extract e-mails from. I don\u2019t know why they didn\u2019t do it, but it would be really hard.” And you don\u2019t know why? “No, I don\u2019t know.” Did anybody try? “I don\u2019t know if anybody tried — and, you know what? I don\u2019t care if anybody tried. And you know what else, Mr. Chaffetz? You\u2019re never gonna see these e-mails, I don\u2019t care what you do.<\/p>\n

“You can impeach the president, you can impeach me, you can sick Trey Gowdy on me, but let me tell you one thing: You\u2019re never gonna see these e-mails! You know why? ‘Cause we\u2019ve got \u2019em locked and secured away, and nobody\u2019s gonna see these e-mails! I know exactly what\u2019s in \u2019em. I know what I\u2019m hiding from you and I know what you\u2019re not gonna get, and I don\u2019t care what you do. We\u2019re the Obama administration, and we don\u2019t care about the law and we don\u2019t care about you! You can keep flapping your gums; you can yell and scream at me all you want. But I\u2019m just gonna never let you see what you want even though I\u2019ve got it. (Raspberry) you!”<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line>RUSH: Eric, Margate, New Jersey. Hi. Welcome to the program, sir. Hello.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. It\u2019s an honor to talk with you again.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I appreciate that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Third time on here. Thank you. Listen, pertaining to the e-mails now that they\u2019re lost. I was telling Mr. Snerdley, “Why don\u2019t they just request the e-mails now from the White House during that period from the IRS or sent to or from Lois Lerner?” They have to have a log there.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The White House has Lois Lerner\u2019s e-mails?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, just any of the e-mails pertaining to the IRS at that time.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, I see. Why don\u2019t they just subpoena the e-mails from the Regime to find out what kind of coordination might have been going on?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. Maybe that would answer a lot of questions and allay our fears.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, if I had to guess, there aren\u2019t any.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: If I had to guess, this Regime is smart enough to know that they\u2019re not gonna put these kinds of instructions where they can be found by people. In other words: Fast and Furious. I guarantee you there is not a paper trail between Obama and Eric Holder about that. They talked about it maybe somewhere, or they had a third party\/a liaison do it. I asked J. Christian Adams, who used to be in the justice department.<\/p>\n

I said, “Can you walk three me through it? Because obviously you\u2019ve got like-minded people. You got Obama; he puts Holder in there. They have the same objective where the Department of Justice is concerned. How does Holder find out what Obama wants done?” Adams told me, “He doesn\u2019t need to find out. He already knows. They\u2019re two peas in a pod. That\u2019s why Holder\u2019s there. He doesn\u2019t need marching orders.”<\/p>\n

Lois Lerner did not need any instructions. Lois Lerner did not need any approval. That\u2019s why these people are where they are! That\u2019s who these people are. That\u2019s the exact reason why they have been put in these positions. Koskinen does not have to hear from the White House what to say, what to do. He\u2019s there because it\u2019s already known that this is the water he\u2019s gonna carry.<\/p>\n

Now, if Koskinen and Obama happen to end up in a cocktail party in the Rose Garden on Flag Day or some such thing? Who knows? You\u2019re never gonna recover that. But the White House isn\u2019t gonna give that stuff up anyway. Separation of powers would come into play. Besides, Josh Earnest (who is Tommy Vietor Jr., Jay Carney III), the new White House press secretary already said that they had checked and that the White House doesn\u2019t have any e-mails of Lois Lerner.<\/p>\n

“So (raspberry) you!” What are you gonna do after that? Josh Earnest, doing his best impersonation of Jay Carney, said (sniveling), “Uh, we already checked, and you know what, dude? There aren\u2019t any here. Heh-heh-heh. We looked, and there aren\u2019t any. Try all you want, but you\u2019re not gonna find \u2019em. It\u2019s two years ago, dude! Besides, we don\u2019t care. We don\u2019t know who she is. Lois Lerner? Who is she? Some bimbo? Who is she? Screw you!”<\/p>\n

So what are you gonna do? You do that and Obama\u2019s in front of some college kids the next day whining and moaning about how the Republicans are letting children starve, women get beat up, and focusing on him. But he\u2019ll take it. He\u2019ll take it. Now, the key here is Lerner. They\u2019re trying to get to Lerner any way they can. They know the e-mails exist. They know they\u2019re there. Everybody knows these e-mails are somewhere.<\/p>\n

(interruption) Mr. Snerdley just said, “Why are the guys on the left unafraid to do what they\u2019re doing?” Well, again, Snerdley, you are deeply immersed in the traditional ways of Washington, and those traditional ways of Washington have been blown smithereens. Under normal circumstances in a situation like this, I guarantee you if it was the other way around and if the Democrats wanted some e-mails from the Bush administration?<\/p>\n

Our guys would be up there begging and cajoling, and they\u2019d been producing everything they had trying to satisfy it. Bush would require it to make sure that the principles involved here were honored, that the Constitution was revered and all that. But with these people, they don\u2019t view the House of Representatives as legitimate. They\u2019re not entitled to anything.<\/line><\/p>\n

Who the hell are you guys?<\/p>\n

We\u2019re doing what we\u2019re doing here!<\/p>\n

We\u2019re transforming this country, and there\u2019s nothing you can do to stop us. I don\u2019t care what tradition is. Okay, tradition is that you want some evidence that we have? We\u2019re not gonna give it to you. We\u2019re not gonna incriminate ourselves. And we\u2019re not doing anything wrong anyway. You guys are who screwed up this country for all these hundreds of years. We\u2019re just fixing it now, so screw you.<\/p>\n

And they can take that attitude \u2019cause can anybody point to me where they\u2019ve paid a price for that attitude. They haven\u2019t. They continue to break the law, get away with it. All the waivers with Obamacare, the flooding of the border, suing the state of Arizona, you name it, the list is long. Where is there any evidence that they\u2019re held to account for any of this by anybody?<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s why they\u2019re fearless. They\u2019re fearlessness is accompanied by a cocksure arrogance. In a way, I mean, you could understand it. They\u2019re getting away with whatever they want to do for the most part. And I\u2019ll tell you, now that Obama\u2019s a lame duck, they\u2019re really just now getting up to speed and getting into gear. I laugh at these people who think, “Oh, my God, the president, see that last poll? Oh, my God, it\u2019s over. The presidency has imploded,” F. Chuck Todd. It\u2019s just now getting up to speed.<\/p>\n

Look, Lerner\u2019s supposed hard drive crash happened just 10 days after the very first time Congress asks the IRS about the potential targeting of conservatives. When this thing first got going and Congress wanted to know, officially know, if the IRS was indeed targeting conservatives, or was it just these rogue employees in Cincinnati or was it something more to it, 10 days after that is when Lois Lerner\u2019s e-mails just happened to disappear. They weren\u2019t whistling Dixie or taking any chances. They got rid of \u2019em two years ago. That\u2019s how long they\u2019ve been gone. It\u2019s only just recently been discovered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
