TIGTA Finds 6,400 Lois Lerner Emails That the IRS Had Not Turned Over to Congress
IRS-GATE: WHY IS IT THAT EMAILS SEEM TO BE SO TROUBLING FOR LIBERALS LIKE LOIS LERNER AND HILLARY CLINTON?
The TIGTA, the Treasury’s inspector general for tax administration, has reportedly uncovered some 6,400 emails, either from or to for IRS official Lois Lerner. The emails were either sent or received by Lerner between 2004 and 2013. The TIGTA did not believe that these emails had been previously turned over to Congress. Imagine that? Who really thinks any of these emails are of any relevance? Any inciminating emails have been long been sent down a black hole. This is the IRS we are talking about with a scandal that goes right back to the Obama White House.
An inspector general investigating the IRS’s improper scrutiny of Tea Party groups has found thousands of emails from Lois Lerner, the agency official at the center of that controversy, according to committees involved in the probe.
Treasury’s inspector general for tax administration (TIGTA) said it found roughly 6,400 emails either to or from Lerner from between 2004 and 2013 that it didn’t think the IRS had turned over to lawmakers, the congressional committees said. The committees have yet to examine the emails, aides on Capitol Hill said.
The IRS said last year that Lerner’s computer crashed in 2011, leaving it unable to reproduce an untold number of her emails over the prior two years.
Of the emails the inspector general found, around 650 were from 2010 and 2011, while most were from 2012. The inspector general found about 35,000 emails in all as it sought to recover emails from recycled back-up tapes.
CNN – IRS watchdog finds 6,400 missing Lois Lerner emails.
The IRS watchdog investigating the disappearance of Lois Lerner’s emails told a Senate committee it has found roughly 6,400 messages that have never before been turned over to Congress.
Lerner was the IRS official at the center of allegations that the agency targeted tea party groups applying for nonprofit status. Congress requested Lerner’s emails from the IRS and agency officials told lawmakers an unknown number of emails had been lost when Lerner’s computer crashed.
The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration is in the process of turning the emails over to the Senate Finance Committee, which is investigating whether the IRS wrongly targeted conservative and other groups seeking tax-exempt status, committee spokesman Aaron Fobes said.
“These emails will be carefully examined as part of the committee’s bipartisan IRS investigation,” he said.

The Parents of Missing Madeleine “Maddy” McCann Win Libel Case Against Former Portuguese Detective Goncalo Amaral, ‘The Truth of the Lie’
Parents win libel case, but sadly Madeleine McCann still missing …
The parents of Madeleine McCann, Kate and Gerry McCann, have won their libel case against former Portuguese detective, Goncalo Amaral, who published a book alleging they were involved in their daughter’s disappearance. The book was entitled, ‘The Truth of the Lie’. The McCann’s were seeking 1.2 million euros in damages from Amaral, who was part of the police investigation into Madeleine’s disappearance from a vacation home in Praia da Luz, Portugal in May 2007. However, received 500,00 euros, but didn’t grant the other claims. The 52-page court ruling, handed down Monday, also prohibited the sale of Amaral’s 2008 book The Truth of the Lie. In his book, Amaral reportedly wrote that the McCann’s had hidden their daughter’s body and faked an abduction after she died in an accident.
The parents of missing British girl Madeleine McCann have won 500,000 euros — $549,000 — in a libel action against a former Portuguese detective who published a book alleging they were involved in their daughter’s disappearance, according to a Lisbon court ruling published Tuesday.
The McCanns were seeking 1.2 million euros in damages from Goncalo Amaral, who was part of the police investigation into Madeleine’s disappearance from a vacation home in Portugal’s Algarve region in May 2007, days before her fourth birthday.
The claim included amounts for the parents as well as for Madeleine and her younger twin brother and sister.
The court decided to award 250,000 euros each to Kate and Gerry McCann, but didn’t grant the other claims. It said Kate and Gerry were “totally destroyed” and “depressed” by Amaral’s allegations and felt “ashamed” that they might appear to have been to blame for their daughter’s disappearance. They say Madeleine was abducted.
Socialist Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders To Announce 2016 Presidential Run
RUN BERNIE, RUN!!!
Vermont’s self-proclaimed socialist Senator is supposed to announce his candidacy for the 2016 presidential election. I can say that I do not agree with one position or policy of Sanders but I do respect him because as far-LEFT and socialist as he is, he actually believes what he says, as misguided as it is. For that I say, run Bernie, run!!! We speculated a month back when Bernie Sanders hinted that he would run in 2016, that he might just be Hillary Clinton’s worst nightmare. Although Sanders is an Independent in the Senate, he would be running in the Democrat primary. Sanders would force Hillary to the far, far LEFT. The Democrat party has moved much farther to the LEFT from the days of Bill Clinton’s presidency. Does Bernie have a real chance of winning the Democrat nomination, probably not. However, this socialist who is going to run on income inequality has strongly criticized Clinton for having a “soft” attitude towards Wall Street. Sanders could be a major thorn in the side of Hillary Clinton as his socialist views are loved by the liberal base.
The Independent Socialist Senator said he “liked Hilliary” and she is a “very, very intelligent person”. However, Sanders said there needs to be a leader “to wage a political revolution in this country which brings millions of people into the political process to stand up and fighting for their rights in a way that we have not seen right now,” and Hillary Clinton was not the leader of that movement.
VPR News has learned from several sources that Independent U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders will announce his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination on Thursday.
Sanders will release a short statement on that day and then hold a major campaign kickoff in Vermont in several weeks.
Sanders’ entry into the Democratic race ensures that Hillary Clinton will face a challenge to win the support of the liberal wing of the party.
Sanders’ basic message will be that the middle class in America has been decimated in the past two decades while wealthy people and corporations have flourished.
His opposition to a proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal (T.P.P.) shows how he plans to frame this key issue of his campaign.
In the Real Clear Politics Poll for the 2016 Democratic Presidential Nomination has Bernie Sanders in a distant 4th place at 5.6%, some 56.6% behind Hillary Clinton; however, ahead of O’Malley, who the media claims to be a challenger to Hillary.

Baltimore Mom Slaps Her Son Upside His Head for Throwing Rocks at Police (VIDEO)
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THIS WAS THE RULE, NOT THE EXCEPTION AND THE GRANDMA’S WOULD HAVE KNOCKED HIM OUT COLD …
God bless this Baltimore mom for doing the right thing and teaching her son a lesson he will never forget. The VIDEO has gone viral as one parent in a sea of insanity and lawlessness did the right thing for her child and made sure he was not a part of the violence and thuggery. My candidate for mother of the year, Toya Graham said today that she did it because she “didn’t want her son to become another Freddie Gray”. Amazingly enough, the idiots at CNN was condemning the mom because she hit her son and was providing him with a life’s lesson by using violence. But this is the illness that is liberalism. This mom should be applauded and commended for caring and being concerned enough for looking out for her 16 year old son’s best interest and safety because frankly, with the crap that the cops had to put up with last night in Baltimore, they would have been justified if they opened fire.
“At that point, I just lost it,” said Graham. “I was shocked, I was angry, because you never want to see your child out there doing that.”
Graham, a single mom with six children, denounced the vandalism and violence against police officers. She said rioting in Baltimore is no way to go about getting justice for Freddie Gray and that she doesn’t want that life for her son.
Honestly, the first thing I thought of when Toya Graham slapped her son upside his head and ripped him a new one was … where was Adrian Peterson and his switch when you need him?
But seriously, there was a time in this country when what Toya Graham did was the norm. It would not have been considered to be a viral video because it would have been an everyday occurrence. Sadly that is not the case anymore where there seems to be a real issue in the black communities with authority. That authority being either the police educators or even parents. However, back in the day, black grandmothers were even more feared and respected as they ruled the day and be the iron fist of many families. I can remember so many years back in Connecticut and our close family friend, Gurt. God Bless her soul and I am sure he has many, many times. She was the glue, the motivation and the driving force of obeying the rules. Gurt was a 62 year old grandmother of 10, mother of 4 and one of the finest individuals I have ever met.
‘Mom of the year’: Woman praised for smacking rioting son in Baltimore
WMAR captured video of the woman repeatedly slapping her son and yelling at him after she saw him throw rocks at police officers.
She recognized her son even though he was wearing a mask.
Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony Batts praised the mother’s actions.
“If you saw on one scene, you had one mother who grabbed her child who had a hood on his head and she started smacking him on the head because she was so embarrassed,” Batts said. “I wish I had more parents that took charge of their kids out there tonight.”
