The saga of Lois Lerner and the IRS scandal keeps getting better and better. It’s as if one of the Hollywood soap opera script writers is directing the chain of events. First the mystery of who did it, then the denials, then more evidence followed by more denials followed by a partial confession and early retirement. Then all of the emails from the time of the scandal mysteriously disappear and so the story moves on.
On Wednesday, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, grilled IRS Commissioner John Koskinen about the IRS targeting scandal. During the hearing, Issa released an email from Lois Lerner that warned others to be careful of what they say in their emails.
"I was cautioning folks about email and how we have several occasions where Congress has asked for emails. We need to be cautious about what we say in emails."
On March 29, 2013, Lerner read a draft copy of IRS Inspector General’s report on the IRS targeting of tea party and conservative groups. On April 9, 2013, Lerner sent the email warning to upper IRS officials to use instant messaging instead of emails.
The email was part of the documents that were finally turned over to the House committee last week. Those documents were subpoenaed over a year ago and were just now delivered.
