10 days ago, here's how the establishment protect their racket with a rigged court system/judge(s) in Washington DC and government continuance of destroying evidence when it's incriminating them. Apparently the latest info coming from the IRS and their IT department lost all 7 drives in the RAID array... losing years worth of emails. BTW, calculating the failure of enterprise class hard drives("Mean Time Between Failures" (MTBF) "Annualized Failure Rate" (AFR) ). The odds of that happening, are in the trillions to one, especially when the servers are; raided(RAID arrays) snapshoted, probably with daily "level 7" backups and weekly full backups, as well as, mirrored locally and to remote secure locations. Still waiting for the IRS IT personnel to testify... but don't hold your breath! Wish some Congressman would subpoena IT personnel.
Conservatives suing IRS fail to get injunction
The IRS won what might be Round One in a series of contests pitting tea party groups against the agency, with a federal judge rejecting a conservative group’s bid for a court-appointed forensics expert to hunt for ex-official Lois Lerner’s lost emails.
Judge Reggie Walton of the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia said True the Vote’s lawsuit against the IRS failed to show “irreparable harm” in its injunction relief request and that “the public interest weighs strongly against the type of injunctive relief the plaintiff seeks.”
“Despite the general distrust of the defendants expressed by the plaintiff, the Court has no factual basis to concur with that distrust … and therefore concludes that the issuance of an injunction will not further aid in the recovery of the emails, if such recovery is possible, but will rather only duplicate and potentially interfere with ongoing investigative activities,” he wrote in a court memorandum posted Wednesday afternoon.
Following the news that the IRS lost two years’ worth of ex-IRS official Lerner’s emails, True the Vote last month asked the court to grant an injunction relief motion barring the IRS from destroying documents, and to approve the computer expert as part of an “expedited” discovery process. The group’s lawyer said Wednesday they could still try for regular, rather than “expedited” discovery, at a later point.
Several other conservative groups are suing the agency over various parts of the tea party scandal, from the treatment of the conservative groups to the lost Lerner emails.

WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Thursday declined to issue a preliminary injunction blocking the Internal Revenue Service from destroying e-mails or other potential evidence.
The ruling (https://ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_public_doc?2013cv0734-97) by U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton is a blow to True the Vote, the Texas-based organization that’s suing the IRS over its handling of a tax-exempt status application. After filing the suit, conservatives and lawmakers learned that e-mails belonging to former IRS official Lois Lerner had gone missing.
In asking for the injunction, True the Vote said it didn’t trust the IRS to refrain from destroying other evidence.
On the other hand, Walton noted, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration has initiated a forensic investigation and recovery effort.
“The issuance of an injunction will not further aid in the recovery of the emails, if such recovery is possible, but will rather only duplicate and potentially interfere with ongoing investigative activities,” Walton concluded.
But while denying True the Vote’s request for an injunction, Walton still laid down the law Thursday.
“As a result of the filing of this case,” Walton wrote, “the defendants are now on notice of their obligation to preserve any potentially relevant evidence, and the Court instructs the defendants to comply with that obligation.”
