IRS ‘Lost’ Emails From Official That Met With Top Obama Assistant
The Daily Caller ^ | June 19, 2014 | Patrick Howley

Posted on 06/19/2014 7:06:34 AM PDT by don-o

An IRS official whose emails were “lost” visited the White House frequently during the agency’s targeting of conservatives and met with a top assistant to President Obama who exchanged confidential information on conservative groups with the IRS.

The IRS recently claimed that it lost emails from Nikole Flax, who served as chief of staff to former IRS commissioner Steven Miller. Flax was one of seven IRS employees including ex-official Lois Lerner whose emails to and from White House officials and other Obama administration agencies were purportedly deleted and could not be handed over to congressional investigators.

Flax held personal meetings with a top assistant to President Obama and also colluded with Lerner to prosecute conservative activists.

Flax made 31 visits to the White House between July 12, 2010 and May 8, 2013, according to White House visitor logs. Flax’s visits started in the early days of the IRS targeting program and ended just two days before the IRS scandal broke on May 10, 2013.

Flax met twice in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building with deputy assistant to the president for health policy Jeanne Lambrew, on Oct. 5, 2012 and Jan. 15, 2013.

Who is Jeanne Lambrew?

Nikole Clark Flax

In a May 8 email to Nikole Flax, then the chief of staff to the acting IRS commissioner, Lerner discusses a phone call from Richard Pilger, who headed the Justice Department’s elections crimes unit.

Just two days after her email to Flax, Lerner admitted in an email to a Washington Post reporter that she “can’t confirm that there was anyone on the other side of the political spectrum” targeted by the IRS.

Emails reveal IRS plot to jail conservatives

http://media.townhall.com/_townhall/uploads/2014/4/16/1.png

April 16, 2014 9:13 am IRS-Gate

(Townhall) – According to new IRS emails obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request from Judicial Watch, former head of tax exempt groups at the IRS Lois Lerner contacted the Department of Justice in May 2013 about whether tax exempt groups could be criminally prosecuted for “lying” about political activity.

“I got a call today from Richard Pilger Director Elections Crimes Branch at DOJ … He wanted to know who at IRS the DOJ folk s [sic] could talk to about Sen. Whitehouse idea at the hearing that DOJ could piece together false statement cases about applicants who “lied” on their 1024s –saying they weren’t planning on doing political activity, and then turning around and making large visible political expenditures. DOJ is feeling like it needs to respond, but want to talk to the right folks at IRS to see whether there are impediments from our side and what, if any damage this might do to IRS programs. I told him that sounded like we might need several folks from IRS,” Lerner wrote in a May 8, 2013 email to former Nikole C. Flax, who was former-Acting IRS Commissioner Steven T. Miller’s chief of staff.

“I think we should do it – also need to include CI [Criminal Investigation Division], which we can help coordinate. Also, we need to reach out to FEC. Does it make sense to consider including them in this or keep it separate?” Flax responded on May 9, 2013.

Just how many computer ‘failures’ is the IRS reporting? I mean you are talking about email loss of multiple accounts in different offices, is this anywhere close to being possible? For all of the groans and moans about the PC/Windows world, these machines are really quite durable and have MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) ratings of a decade or so. So was this a email server that just was used by these officials? If so, why is there the mention of Ms Learner calling in IRS Tech Support about personal data? Storing personal data on government machines is a no-no, right?

Snif, snif, that odor is not cheese ...

Nice house but $865,000? Like everything else associated with Fedzilla, completely overpriced.

Destruction of evidence alone given the nature of the evidence, should have congress demanding a special prosecutor.

This could be the most un-ethical administration in history!

Someone has the information. I am not convinced they could destroy every computer that sent or received the emails.

Congress needs to get it's butt in gear and start holding people accountable, not just sending them harsh letters. Start at the bottom of the barrel, someone will talk if threatened with years of jail.

Rose Mary Woods. Does that ring a distant bell? Things that were crimes in the past were tiny compared to the daily actions of this White House.
