Is the Department of Health and Human Services following in the footsteps of the IRS? Well, not necessarily. At the IRS they just rely on unexplained hard drive crashes to cover their tracks and conceal wrongdoing. We’ll keep watching to see if this is just the tip of an iceberg of HHS corruption:
An email obtained by Congress shows the top official for Healthcare.gov at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services under the Department of Health and Human Services, Marilyn Tavenner, instructed the agency’s top spokesman to “Please delete this email.”The instruction appears significant for several reasons: First, the email to be deleted included an exchange between key White House officials and CMS officials. Second, the email was dated October 5, 2013, five days into the disastrous launch of HealthCare.gov. Third, federal law requires federal officials to retain copies of –not delete– email exchanges. And fourth, the document to be deleted is covered under Congressional subpoena as well as longstanding Freedom of Information requests made by members of the media (including me).
In a letter today, House Energy and Commerce leaders asked Tavenner to explain why she asked her colleague to delete the email, and the letter questions whether there are other instances in which she instructed HHS staff to delete emails. The letter also asks for more details regarding Congressional subpoenaed documents, including Tavenner emails, that CMS recently said might be permanently lost; and it requests an explanation as to why redactions are made in some documents provided to Congress so far.

When will Obama fall???? How much damage will he be allowed to deal before???
Shut it down!!!
How surprising.
Orders came from the “TOP”!
how much more are the people of this country going to put up with before they either replace EVERYBODY in federal Government, or just have a full blown revolution. The entire system is corrupted. Fire all DHS, CIA, Congressional criminals, HHS employees that violated the law (wether or not they were told to do so or not). Abolish the IRS, DHS, the patriot act, and the TSA. Heavily restrict the operations and reach of the BATFE, the FDA, and the EPA by way of massive oversight by a civilian agency with common sense. Tell NATO to F**k-off, suspend NAFTA and Travel to mexico until they release our Soldier and stop invading our sovereign land. Stop the wasteful spending in the form of monetary, material (weapons and ammo etc), and personnel to countries that dont like us or that dont comply with international law (ex.. Iran, Gaza, Russia, the middle east, etc), and back up our allies.
Why is this $#%&!@* sill in offices
The entire Administration is lawless!
