The IRS claims Lois Lerner’s emails were erased by a computer crash

In a comment to one of my posts last week Bunkerville said it was going to be interesting to see what the Obama regime’s Friday news dump would be and now we know. You had better sit down for this one because it is as unbelievable as it is infuriating.

Back on May 8th the IRS finally agreed to turn over all of Lois Lerner’s emails related to the IRS targeting scandal. However, there is a problem as the IRS notified the Congress today that the corrupt agency cannot turn over the documents because, in an astounding coincidence, they just happen to have been erased when the agency’s computer crashed.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) claimed Friday that it cannot produce Lois Lerner’s emails to and from the White House and other administration departments due to a supposed computer crash. The IRS previously agreed to hand over all of the ex-IRS official’s emails from 2009 to 2011 to the House Ways and Means Committee, chaired by Rep. Dave Camp. But the IRS claimed Friday that it has Lerner’s emails to and from other IRS officials but it cannot produce emails to and from the Treasury and Justice Departments, the Federal Election Commission, or Democratic offices.

What a remarkably fortunate accident! What are the chances that a computer crash just happened to wipe out evidence in a corruption investigation? Now, I don’t doubt for a moment that these emails were erased but the amount of hubris, arrogance, and audaciousness it takes to make such an absurd claim, with the expectation the Congress and the American people are actually going to believe it, is mind boggling.

But then again I should take the IRS at its word, after all Barack Obama said there was not a smidgen of corruption within the IRS. Move along, nothing to see here…..
