A federal judge ordered the IRS Thursday to explain under oath how it lost a trove of emails to and from a central figure in the agency's tea party controversy.
U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan gave the tax agency a month to submit the explanation in writing. Sullivan said he is also appointing a federal magistrate to see if lost emails can be obtained from other sources.
Sullivan issued the order as part of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group. He said the IRS declaration must be signed, under oath, by the appropriate IRS official.
"I'm going to hold tight to that Aug. 10 declaration," Sullivan said.
The IRS says it lost the emails in 2011 when Lois Lerner's computer crashed. At the time, Lerner headed the IRS division that processes applications for tax-exempt status. She has since retired.
Lerner, who refused to answer questions at two House committee hearings, has become a central figure in several congressional investigations over the handling of tea party applications.
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen has testified on the lost emails before Congress at least three times. Each time he was under oath.
Koskinen said he first learned there was a problem with Lerner's computer in February, but didn't learn that emails were lost until April. The IRS notified Congress June 13.

The American justice system is extremely slow-moving and bureaucratic.
I thought they already said that the dog ate their hard drives.
Good Luck With That.....DOJ is President Cupcake’s butt buddy.
Judge to IRS - “explain, under oath, how you lost those emails.”
IRS - “the computers crashed.”
Does U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan have a family? Is his life insurance policy up to date?
Moosechelle was visiting the IRS. She was hungry and ate them.
All this happened two to three years ago, but they still need another month to explain what happened? How about Monday morning? But maybe this court will get some answers, or at least put another crack in the IRS wall of lies and coverups.

Even some Democrats distrust the IRS. They are still aware that an IRS they can play today, could be played by the GOP tomorrow.
Does the judge ever visit Ft. Marcy Park for a quick lunch?
