IRS says it lost key Lerner emails Agency blames 2011 hard drive crash for data loss

I’m gonna just go ahead and say this is nothing but a bunch of HOOEY:

WASHINGTON TIMES – The IRS told Congress on Friday that it has lost some of former employee Lois G. Lerner’s emails, including some covering communications with Democrats in Congress and with other parts of the government, according to the House’s top tax-law writer.

Rep. Dave Camp, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, said he was stunned that it took more than a year into the investigation for the IRS to inform Congress that it didn’t have those emails.

The agency blamed a computer crash for the mishap.

“The fact that I am just learning about this, over a year into the investigation, is completely unacceptable and now calls into question the credibility of the IRS’s response to congressional inquiries,” Mr. Camp said. “There needs to be an immediate investigation and forensic audit by Department of Justice as well as the Inspector General.”

The IRS is obviously steeped in corruption. If this isn’t an argument to abolish the IRS, I don’t know what is.

No critical emails at all? Not even a smidgeon?

A more elegant way to express this would be to say that it is less than fully believable. The more accurate way would be unprintable, as it should be.

Lies. You cannot ‘lose’ emails. You can delete them.

Maybe we should hire an average teenager. They’ll find those emails in about 10 minutes.

““There needs to be an immediate investigation and forensic audit by Department of Justice as well as the Inspector General.””

What a joke, like that will happen.

Eric Holder’s Department of Justice WILL investigate, and find not even a smidgeon of corruption.

Right. Eric Holder will get to the bottom of this.

We need Congress to start investigating. Independent prosecutors

Must have taken a lot of hard PROFILING
and meticulous EFFORT to scrub the
drives and servers clean.

THAT is obstruction of justice.

But in an America void of law,
with black on white violence being acceptable by the DO”J”,
with treason happening EVERY DAY, with unConstitutional
behavior EVERY DAY, with lying to Congress EVERY DAY,
Issa and his co- enablers will do .... effectively nothing.
