For John, BLUF: Friday bad news dump by Administration, buried in a letter. Nothing to see here; just move along.
It is Friday the 13th, so i guess this is no surprise. A new record! Ms Rose Mary Woods managed to lose 18 minutes of a tape transcription. The IRS has lost two years of EMails.
This is from a Press Release from the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
Washington, DC – Today, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) issued the following statement regarding the Internal Revenue Service informing the Committee that they have lost Lois Lerner emails from a period of January 2009 – April 2011. Due to a supposed computer crash, the agency only has Lerner emails to and from other IRS employees during this time frame. The IRS claims it cannot produce emails written only to or from Lerner and outside agencies or groups, such as the White House, Treasury, Department of Justice, FEC, or Democrat offices.As I said, it is Friday the 13th. That said, don't YOU try this. It would cost you, big time.
Regards — Cliff

The ONLY surprise is that this hasn't happened sooner. I guess it is all part of the script. Now the various House committees will get their feathers all ruffled up, make the obligatory press statements, and things will plod on toward the election which is even more disingenuous than the IRS and their various and sundry explanations and excuses.
The US Federal government has become a fraud on the people. While it is certainly legitimate under the law, it is completely illegitimate in its purpose and responsibility.
Count the scandals and tell me just one in which someone was charged with a crime and placed in jail....or one in which a top manager was fired in disgrace. Find just ONE that can in any way be attributable to the POTUS...even remotely. The scandal is that the scandals remain so without any further action.
