The IRS’ inability to locate a trove of emails belonging to Lois Lerner, the former agency official at the center of the department’s targeting scandal is “mind-boggling,” according to an expert in electronic discovery.

There is nothing mind-boggling about these emails disappearing. It’s straightforward lies and corruption, which have become routine over the past five terrible years since we left the rule of law behind.

An IT expert thinks he knows more about computers than Obama? I think not!
