Lois Lerner’s Blackberry was intentionally destroyed after Congress had begun its probe into IRS targeting of conservative groups, a senior IRS lawyer acknowledged in a sworn declaration.
Thomas Kane, Deputy Assistant Chief Counsel for the IRS, wrote in the declaration, part of a lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch against the IRS, that the Blackberry was "removed or wiped clean of any sensitive or proprietary information and removed as scrap for disposal in June 2012."
That date - June 2012 - is significant because by that time, ex-IRS official Lerner had already been summoned before congressional staffers who interviewed her about reports of the IRS' targeting of conservative groups.
"We had already talked to her. Our personal staff and Oversight Committee staff had sat down with Ms. Lerner and confronted her about information we were getting from conservative groups in the state of Ohio and around the country," Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told Fox News.
"If you intentionally destroy evidence, that is a crime. If you make a statement in court saying the evidence is not available and it is, that is also a crime," said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice.

If a lot of people don’t go to prison over this America as a free nation is truly dead.
“Where is John Boehner ?
Where is Mitch McConnell?”
Whipping their collective staffs to find dirt on Judicial Watch and The American Center for Law and Justice so they can help out the imposter.
Whipping their collective staffs...
Oh...they're "whipping their staffs" alright.
VRW.... Wasn’t Lon the sniper at Ruby Ridge? Shot Weaver’s wife?
Where money is involved all bets are off.
Put the soldiers in jail and they will give up the capos. Put the capos in jail and they will give up the Don.

Hope you aren’t holding your breath.
“THE....MOST....CORRUPT....ADMINISTRATION....EVER!!!!!”
And not by just a little bit! There is no comparison to the illegality of much of what has been done under this man and his minions.
God what I wouldn’t do for a President Cruz...
“Lois Lerner should already be doing time.”
She is already doing time. In fact, she’s having a great time.
“another installment of issa kabuki theater.”
Yep, you can bet that he will be all over this like stink on sh#@#.
In a way, you can’t blame him for not getting traction. With the cavalcade of rolling scandals and crises, you need a scorecard to keep up with everything.
If there is anything brilliant about the Obama administration, it is their uncanny ability to have a new crisis/scandal wipe the old crisis/scandal off of the front page in a continuous rolling sequence of events, keeping the news media and the public unfocused. Some, but not all of this, has been dumb luck.
if he was serious he’d jail lerner and get rolling. he doesn’t need anyone’s permission to do that.
but since this is kabuki theater it won’t happen.
Please use Eric Holder’s full title when writing his name.

And blackberry’s messenger service....the lrivate messages that don’t show up in email searches....that would have been interesting to say the least.
