The Obama administration threw sand in the gears of a GOP investigation into lost emails at the Internal Revenue Service, suggesting in a letter that a White House lawyer wouldn’t show up for a House hearing on Tuesday.
That prompted Rep. Darrell Issa (R., Calif.), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, to issue a subpoena for the lawyer.
In a letter to Mr. Issa, White House Counsel Neil Eggleston said lawyer Jennifer O’Connor left the IRS before the agency realized the lost-email problem in February. The discovery of the lost emails “postdates Ms. O’Connor’s six-month tenure at the agency,” which ended on Nov. 30, 2013, Mr. Eggleston wrote.

ATTORNEYS DENY HINDERING WHITEWATER INVESTIGATION

EXCERPT
JON GREENBERG, Reporter: One critical legal issue arising from the meeting is whether the White House staffers passed on confidential government information to the Clintons’ personal attorneys. Republicans said if the first family became the target of a government probe, the first thing any good defense lawyer would want to know is what documents were in the hands of government prosecutors.
A few days after the meeting, Neil Eggleston , then an associate White House counsel, went to the offices of the Small Business Administration and picked up a report on a certain Judge David Hale. Hale has accused the president of pressuring him to make a loan to one of the Clintons’ Whitewater partners. Under sharp questioning from the chief Republican counsel, Michael Chertoff, Eggleston said he never showed the report to the Clintons’ private attorneys or even Bruce Lindsey, at the time a powerful White House aide.
NEIL EGGLESTON , Former White House Lawyer: [excerpt from 1/16/96 Whitewater hearings] Very shortly after this I learned that the Department of Justice was having difficulties with the fact that the White House had them, and then I was glad that I’d never shown them to Mr. Lindsey or anybody else.
MICHAEL CHERTOFF, Chief Republican Counsel: [excerpt from 1/16/96 Whitewater hearings] Several days afterwards that that came up.
NEIL EGGLESTON : I think two- I think it was not the next day but the following day.
SEN. ALFONSE M. D’AMATO (R-NY), Chairman, Whitewater Committee: [excerpt from 1/16/96 Whitewater hearings] Are you suggesting that you sat on these documents for two days and that you did not make an attempt to communicate or bring them to Mr. Lindsey? Is that what you’re saying?
NEIL EGGLESTON : Yes.
JON GREENBERG: That was Republican Senator Alfonse D’Amato. His skepticism was obvious throughout today’s hearing. He questioned the author of the notes, former White House lawyer William Kennedy. Some of the most intriguing entries in his notes pertain to the Rose Law Firm, where Hillary Rodham Clinton worked. Kennedy’s typewritten transcript of his handwritten notes has a line, `Documents - never know go out.’ And below that the word `Quietly (?),’ with a question mark.
WILLIAM KENNEDY, Former White House Aide: [excerpt from 1/16/96 Whitewater hearings] I wasn’t sure at the time whether the word was `Quietly’ or `Quality.’ And the word is not quietly, it is quality. I have taken a magnifying glass, applied it to the originals, and that is the word. Now, that ties in with the discussion about the quality of the Whitewater records that I once had in my possession, received from Miss Clinton.
JON GREENBERG: Kennedy said the lawyers at the November meeting all agreed many key Whitewater documents were missing. That was the meaning, he said, of the most cryptic of all the entries in his notes, `Vacuum Rose Law files.’ He said it meant there was an information vacuum. The Democrats’ chief counsel, Richard Ben-Veniste, was the first to raise that topic today. He asked Eggleston about the critical issue the phrase implied.
RICHARD BEN-VENISTE, Democratic Chief Counsel: [excerpt from 1/16/96 Whitewater hearings] Was there any discussion about removing or destroying or obliterating or otherwise making unavailable any files that were believed to be in existence at the Rose Law Firm during that meeting?
NEIL EGGLESTON : [excerpt from 1/16/96 Whitewater hearings] Absolutely not. There was absolutely no discussion at this meeting of anybody destroying any files. I would not have tolerated it, Mr. Kendall wouldn’t have tolerated it. I knew- I had known Mr. Nussbaum for a period of time before that; he would not have tolerated that. That would- that conversation did not occur at this meeting.
