The investigation into missing IRS emails belonging to Lois Lerner is scrutinized. Technical experts (referred to as "dudes named Ben") explain that the IRS used SonaSoft's SonaVault, a system designed specifically to prevent data loss from hard drive crashes, making the official "crashed drive" excuse highly improbable.
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen is criticized for his "Mr. Cool" demeanor during congressional hearings regarding the missing emails. The hosts contrast the IRS's demand for perfect record-keeping from taxpayers (citing Wesley Snipes) with the agency's own failure to preserve records, noting similar "lost email" excuses used by the Bush and Clinton administrations.
Benghazi Anniversary and Missing CIA Witnesses
One year after the Benghazi attack, the hosts reiterate their theory that the event was a botched kidnapping attempt intended as an "October Surprise" for the 2012 election. They highlight that nearly 100 witnesses, many likely CIA operatives, have been moved to Germany and prevented from testifying. Congressman Daryl Issa continues to press the State Department for access to these fact witnesses.
The hosts discuss the background of Congressman Daryl Issa, noting he made his fortune from the "Viper" car alarm system. Issa is currently issuing subpoenas to the State Department to gain access to Benghazi witnesses. The hosts remain skeptical of the political theater, suggesting the investigation is being used primarily for fundraising and PR.
Congressman Daryl Issa discusses the role of the CIA in foiling terror plots before they reach airports. He emphasizes the need for the TSA to have better tools and training to ensure flyer safety while also attempting to speed up security lines.
