The ‘Missing’ IRS Emails

It’s a cover-up — obstruction of justice — and everybody knows it, because the subpoenaed e-mails simply cannot be “lost”: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) said it can’t provide emails sent between 2009 and 2011 that were requested by congressional investigators because of hard drive crashes.

Brett Kimberlin Annoys a Judge

It’s been weeks since I’ve paid any attention to Brett Kimberlin’s ridiculous federal lawsuit, the one that my co-defendant John Hoge has described as Kimberlin v. the Universe, et al.
