Although former IRS official Lois Lerner refuses to speak, pleading the fifth amendment, her attorney spoke on her behalf regarding the controversy over two years of missing IRS emails.
William Taylor III said that accusations by Republicans that she is hiding something is silly
she doesnt know what happened
Its a little brazen to think she did this on purpose.
The IRS and Democrats contend that the emails were lost due to a hard drive crash. Yet, as Politico reported, it so happens that the computer glitch was concomitant with the 2009 time period in which Cincinnati IRS agents started delaying the approvals of Tea Party groups vying for 501(c)(4) non-profit status. Notably, the not-for- profit designation would have allowed the conservative groups the capacity to carry out a limited amount of political activity.

It's Silly to Think She Destroyed Emails Of course not. She would never do that.
She delegated the task.

More like, “I’ve got some juicy e-mails. Would be awful if something were to happen to them.”

If a private company lost emails, they'd go to the slammer.
But employees of the feral government are special. Laws don't apply to them.

If Lerner said it, I might consider believing her. If her “lawyer” says it, I know for sure that it’s a lie.

We saw this a lot with the Clintons.
Expressions of scorn, outrage, disgust, surprise, shock.
No denial though.

I agree. LL did not destroy any emails. This was a policy of obstruction designed by the commissioner of the IRS that was designed to protect everyone in the IRS and at the White House.
Hang them all...

Accidents, errors and mistakes do happen.
But isn’t it interesting that for government officials like Lois Lerner, suspected of criminal behavior and/or covering up criminal behavior, the accidents, errors and mistakes always work out in their favor?
What are the odds?

Quit insulting our intelligence. Do something useful, like chasing an Ambulance.

She wouldn't know how to permanenetly destroy the emails.
She isn't intelligent enough to even begin figuring it out.
The emails exist. They are hidden. The IRS is lying, and is violating the subpoena.

Lois Lerner Attorney: It's Silly to Think She Destroyed EmailsAgreed.
Try as she did she couldn't destroy the emails that address her criminality.
They are still out there and can and should be recovered.

And, of course, according to her mouthpiece, she pleaded the 5th because she has nothing whatsoever to hide. It’s silly to think otherwise.

If she didn’t destroy them then where are they? Oh, most likely some “assistant” accidentally had them erased. Or something.
