Say it ain’t so – Lois Lerner’s lost IRS email shows agency tried to block congressional scrutiny: watchdog – Washington Times

It’s great to find the “smoking gun,” but IRS targeting is not news to anyone who has been paying attention. Perhaps Progressives should learn how to pay attention.

Regarding the “lost” emails:

The IRS took routine steps to try to recover the emails but reported that it was unable to do so.

But the agency’s independent inspector general said it was able to find the messages easily on backup tapes stored at remote locations — and that the IRS never bothered to look for those tapes, even as it was telling Congress that all possible routes for message recovery had been exhausted.

Yet so many American’s and a large majority of Boulderites have infinite faith in government.
