Are you purposefully not understanding words that don't support your position
as evidence of the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, operations, or other activities
Note it does not include or say ALL communications.
Any email that went to the White House concerning the business of the IRS is, by definition, an official record requiring preservation.
No, the GOP want ALL emails in a desperate fish attempt for some sort of smoking gun that the White House directed the actions. It does not appear this to be the case.
Any email that constituted a decision making process, procedures or operations is, by definition, an official record requiring preservation.
Again, the GOP wants ALL emails.
Perhaps you would care to actually identify a class of emails that pertain to auditing, evaluation of applications for tax-exempt status, procedures to follow when processing such applications or emails that discuss IRS business between the White House and the IRS that would not be official records. Until you can accurately define such a class of emails then it is safe to say that the emails were official records requiring preservation.
Do you actually work in an office? I would think many of my emails do not pertain to official business. Also they don't apply to procedures. They don't apply to operations.
As I showed you in the letter from the Department of the Treasury, Lois Lerner was required to physically print those emails and store them. The IRS's failure to properly preserve those records was a violation of law. Lois Lerner's failure to preserve those records was, at least, a violation of IRS policy.
No you deliberately twisted the words of the letter specifically omitting clauses that say the opposite of what you said.
