It’s looking worse and worse:

Any private company that conducted itself in this way would be crucified. It happens from time to time, but rather rarely nowadays, as the duty to preserve evidence is well known in the business world. The IRS’s account of its own behavior is, frankly, shocking. I can hardly imagine what a federal judge would do to a party that took no steps to preserve documents, erased backup tapes, allowed employees to delete relevant emails and memos, and “recycled” the crashed hard drive of its principal witness, all while the lawsuit was pending.

I guess we may find out soon, as True the Vote’s motion is scheduled to be heard on July 11.

Let’s hope. Who will be the equivalent of Judge Sirica in this case?

Lois Lerner, Colonel Mustard, and the Blue Screen of Death.

I hope that Megan is feigning credulity to maintain her own credibility when she finally comes down on these serial liars like a hammer.

Her dissent may have actually had the effect of strengthening the opinion.
