‘Lost’ IRS Emails Show Missing Government Credibility
The Obama Administration’s investigatory credibility, like Lois Lerner’s emails, has been irrevocably “lost.”
Last week, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) made the unbelievable assertion that it “lost” an untold number of emails of former top IRS official Lois Lerner.
For years, the IRS repeatedly and unlawfully demanded emails from our clients at the American Center for Law and Justice, which represents 41 targeted conservative groups from 22 states in a lawsuit against the IRS, but now can’t produce its own emails for Congress.
As absurd as this sounds, the IRS claims that a singular computer crash makes it impossible to turn over all emails to and from Ms. Lerner during the two-year period at the height of the IRS targeting scandal, which involved outside agencies such as the White House, federal agencies and Democratic members of Congress. . . .
