Sancrow had offered, instead of the ones that were offered to the a pellet court was, and i quote, you have already received all documents responsive to your request. Were not required to create documents that not do exist. I consider this matter closed. Now, if you look at the issues that should have been responded to with respect to mr. Grossmans complaint, we dont have to create documents as a sunshine equivalent of go jump in the lake. Do you know who primo levee is. He tells the story of these walking under an eve one day.

Supporter of igs. When they raise an issue like that, we deal with it. And well visit with the ig about that. During a hearing last month senator grassey asked you about the tax pons and whether it would allow individuals to claim billons of dollars in tax benefits for unaut rised work. Your follow up lotter to him last week that individuals may claim up to three years of refunds on income even if they were working off the books or never paid tax Social Security truly startling. Why are you allowing individuals who cheated by not paying any taxes to now claim a refund that will be financed by hardworking americans who have been paying taxes all along.

And when they cant do the impossible, we punish them by giving them even less money so the impossible goes to the catastrophic. So i really want to appreciate you just showing up
