WHERE ARE THOSE IRS EMAILS? The IRS says a batch of emails that House investigators want to review in the widening IRS scandal has vanished. The agencys excuse? Lois Lerners computer crashed and all that information is lost forever. The problem is, the IRS had a contract with a small firm called Sonasoft to back-up all of its emails, including Lerners . . . a contract the IRS cancelled just as House investigators started digging for answers: Lois Lerners computer allegedly crashed in June 2011, just ten days after House Ways and Means Committee chairman Rep. Dave Camp first wrote a letter asking if the IRS was engaging in targeting of nonprofit groups. Two months later, Sonasofts contract ended and the IRS gave its email-archiving contractor the boot. It stands to reason Lerners emails still exist and the dog ate my homework excuse is just a delaying tactic. Republican Rep. Steve Stockman, however, authored a bill that would give taxpayers the right to use flimsy, IRS-style excuses if the agency should ever demand documents from them, including one Hillary Clinton will find familiar: At this point, what difference does it make?
