It is almost always the cover-up rather than the event that causes trouble. When President Obama declared last Super Bowl Sunday that there was not even a smidgeon of corruption at the Internal Revenue Service, he gave his personal Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval to it and especially vouched for Lois Lerner, the key figure in the IRS scandal over the treatment of tax exemption applications. To vouch is to give personal assurances; give a guarantee (thefreedictionary/vouching). Team Obama predictably blamed conspiracy theorists for the idea that something was amiss at the IRS. To date, no evidence has surfaced that President Obama personally ordered discriminatory treatment of tax exemption applications to promote his reelection and punish perceived political enemies. But, as the late Howard Baker put it, It is almost always the cover-up rather than the event that causes trouble. Will President Obamas sweeping assurance cause him trouble now? Not only is it now known that the assertion that the Lerner email was lost is false, but also that her Blackberry was wiped clean AFTER Congressional investigation began. New York Observers Sidney Powell (observer/2014/08/irs-shocker-filing-reveals-lerner-blackberry-destroyed/): The IRS filing in federal Judge Emmet Sullivans court reveals shocking new information. The IRS destroyed Lerners Blackberry AFTER it knew her computer had crashed and after a Congressional inquiry was well underway. As an IRS official declared under the penalty of perjury, the destroyed Blackberry would have contained the same emails (both sent and received) as Lois Lerners hard drive.
