Remember
when the IRS Commissioner, John Koskinen, told the House Oversight
Committee, nearly three months ago (March 26, 2014), that the requested, Lois Lerner, emails
(two years of such documents) could take years to fulfill? You shuld note, that at or close to 5:03 on this video feed, the smart-ass/arrogant Koskinen, clearly says, ". . . they are there but we have to . . . ."
Well, now,
as of yesterday, the newest
revelation is this: “Gee, somehow,
Ms Lerner’s hard drive was faulty, and all those emails, all two years of them, have been lost."
Here is the Committee's response to this preposterous lie (I mean, one minute, "The emails are there," and the next minute, they were lost more than a year ago, at SAME TIME, the Committee was being told, "They are there."
Today, Ways and
Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) issued the following statement
regarding the Internal Revenue Service informing the Committee that they
have lost Lois Lerner emails from a period of January 2009 – April 2011. Due
to a supposed computer crash, the agency only has Lerner emails to and
from other IRS employees during this time frame. The IRS claims it cannot
produce emails written only to or from Lerner and outside agencies or groups,
such as the White House, Treasury, Department of Justice, FEC, or Democrat
offices.
“The fact that I am just learning about this, over a
year into the investigation, is completely unacceptable and now calls into
question the credibility of the IRS’s response to Congressional inquiries. There
needs to be an immediate investigation and forensic audit by Department of
Justice as well as the Inspector General.
“Just a short time ago, Commissioner Koskinen promised
to produce all Lerner documents. It appears now that was an empty promise.
Frankly, these are the critical years of the targeting of conservative groups
that could explain who knew what when, and what, if any, coordination there was
between agencies. Instead, because of this loss of documents, we are
conveniently left to believe that Lois Lerner acted alone. This failure of the
IRS requires the White House, which promised to get to the bottom of this, to
do an Administration-wide search and production of any emails to or from Lois
Lerner. The Administration has repeatedly referred us back to the IRS for
production of materials. It is clear that is wholly insufficient when it comes
to determining the full scope of the violation of taxpayer rights.”
Look, when an Administration is as morally corrupt
as was the Nixon Administration,
well, you are corrupt as you can
become. Finally, after all these years, Obama is being compared to Nixon, not Carter
-- and the comparison(s) is
damning.
Here is the newest revelation, totally unbelievable, framing the newest lie coming from Obama's IRS. Time for a special presectuor

The basis for my comments and the quotes/video, above, come from Human Events, here.
Update: The IRS has
rules requiring hard-copy backups of the emails it claims were utterly lost
when Lois Lerner’s computer “crashed.” From The
Blaze:
I am beginning to believe that "they can run, but they can't hide."
