Five Long Years: National Archives and Records Administrations rang the alarm over Hillary's record-keeping

Untouchable... 

Via Fox News:
Over a five-year span, senior officials at the National Archives and Records Administrations (NARA) voiced growing alarm about Hillary Clinton’s record-keeping practices as secretary of state, according to internal documents obtained by Fox News.
During Clinton’s final days in office, Paul Wester, the director of Modern Records Programs at NARA – essentially the agency’s chief records custodian – privately emailed five NARA colleagues to confide his fear that Clinton would take her official records with her when she left office, in violation of federal statutes.
Referring to a colleague whose full name is unknown, Wester wrote on December 11, 2012: “Tom heard (or thought he heard) from the Clinton Library Director that there are or may be plans afoot for taking her records from State to Little Rock.” That was a reference to the possibility that Clinton might seek to house her records at the Clinton Presidential Center, which was largely funded by the Clinton Foundation.

Obama administration under investigation for illegal use of private tax records


In an Aug. 27 briefing, an administration official told some reporters Koch Industries didn't pay any income tax. The problem is Koch Industries is a privately held enterprise and doesn't file public financial records. Koch Industries is also owned by two libertarian brothers who fund conservative causes. President Obama has previously singled out the Koch brothers for criticism. Tax records are private and can not be disclosed or used for political reasons. At the request of Republicans, a federal inspector general is now instigating.

The Washington Times reported:
A federal inspector general is looking into whether the Obama administration used confidential taxpayer information in an effort to attack a political opponent, Koch Industries.

The review was revealed Tuesday by Sen. Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, two weeks after he and a handful of other top Senate Republicans called for the Treasury Department’s inspector general for tax issues to look into the matter, saying either administration officials had illegal access to taxpayer information or were inappropriately speculating in public about the company’s tax status.

This appears to be another example of Chicago-style politics.

Obama Administration Wants Access to Your Private Bank Records


Liberals hate the 'Patriot Act' because they are afraid the government will be able to access their library cards. Where is the outrage at the Obama administration for wanting access to everyone's bank records?

The Washington Times reported:
The next time you make a withdrawal from an automated teller machine, Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner might be watching over your shoulder...

Obamacare Will Give Thousands of Government Bureaucrats Access to Your Private Medical Records


Remember what happened to Joe Wurzelbacher, better known as "Joe the Plumber," after he asked candidate Barack Obama a tough question? Obama supporters in the Ohio state government searched his records and leaked embarrassing details to the press. Do you want this to be possible with your private medical records?

From the Washington Times:
Privacy rights are under threat in the House's government health care plan. While plowing through the more than 1,000-page Democratic House bill, Declan McCullagh of CBS News uncovered provisions that would allow startling privacy intrusions. The innermost secrets of people's personal lives would be made available to thousands of government bureaucrats.

Section 431(a) requires the Internal Revenue Service to give detailed taxpayer information to the new health choices commissioner and state health programs.

The Social Security Administration also could obtain whatever individual income-tax information it deemed relevant to determine people's eligibility for a "low-income prescription drug subsidy" even if the individual had not applied for it.
