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.

This act is a crime, and must be investigated, prosecuted, and punished!
I do believe that the destruction of evidence is a crime in and of itself.

Where is John Boehner ?
Where is Mitch McConnell?
That people haven’t already been indicted, and that this isn’t an ongoing major news story in every news outlet in the country, is depressing proof that we are way out of control as a nation. Finding our way back is going to be a daunting task.
Enough of this shit already.. arrest the bitch and her boss!!!
Of course, this will be all uncovered and the sunlight will be finally able to disinfect it, in about 70 years or so.
We have a winner! Lois Lerner, report to Cell Block B.
Lerner and Obama and Hillary are behind the
slavers and Hamas rockets and creation of
IS(IS) from “the rebels” they empowered.
I am sure that Eric Holder and the Obama Justice Department will get right on entering an indictment for this criminal act.
...crickets.
Here we have Rick Perry under indictment for the vaguest of accusations, and nothing filed in Lerner. Good God, act, Congress... ACT!!
I'm sure Eric Holder will get right on it.
arrest the bitch and her boss and the jackass they rode in on
They are on vacation. The fact that we have the Executive Branch lying to the Congress( Us the people) and lying to the Judges is one of the worst crimes of this Regime.
The IDIOT Republicans don’t want to be like the Democrats (indicting Rick Perry) by seeming political. Never mind, unlike with Perry, the IRS issues are REAL CRIMES.
JAIL JAIL JAIL
NOW NOW NOW!
I know they are on vacation.
Can they not take an hour out of their vacation to make a statement on
camera?
John is crying over nothing.
Mitch is celebrating the loses of the conservatives.
