The IRS has finally agreed to hand over all of ex-IRS official Lois Lerners emails to the House Committee on Ways and Means, The Daily Caller has learned.
New IRS commissioner John Koskninen previously said that it could take years to provide all of Lerners emails to congressional investigators. But Ways and Means referral of criminal charges against Lerner to the Department of Justice, coupled with the House of Representatives holding Lerner in contempt of Congress Wednesday, has changed the tenor of the investigation into the IRS conservative targeting scandal.
While it is good that we are finally getting these emails, it should never have taken this long. The agency is finally doing what is right and hopefully this is the last of the delays, House Ways and Means chairman Rep. Dave Camp said in a statement.
It is almost a year to the day since Lois Lerner apologized for the IRSs targeting of conservative groups, and we need to get to the bottom of this, Camp said. These documents are critical to an investigation that is holding the IRS accountable and ensuring the constitutional rights of these groups are never trampled on again. The Committee will thoroughly review the Lerner documents and follow them wherever they may lead.
As Washington-based director of exempt organizations for the IRS, Lerner oversaw the improper targeting of conservative groups between 2010 and 2012. Lerner has thus far refused to answer congressional investigators questions about her conduct.
The Daily Caller has reported on emails showing Lerner coordinating with White House officials, the Department of Justice, the Federal Election Commission, and the Treasury Department.
“The Obamanista regime has proven itself totally incompetent in the field of IT”........
Nothing could be more true. I suggest they take a look at the entire IRS computer system. My guess is they are still using 1960’s technology AND people trained in the use of such. Mind boggling!
Doesn’t this depend on what the meaning of “all” is?
They still haven’t got to the bottom of the former head of the EPA and her private email accounts.
Exactly. However the former head of the EPA was using a false gov’t account as well.
Remember emailgate, Northrup Grumman and Mrs Crabtree? I doubt that we saw all of those emails. I doubt we’ll see these.
Yeah, right. “Here they are, both of them, and all nicely redacted.”
