Texas Congressmen Introduce Bill Offering $1 M for IRS Emails
Breitbart's Texas ^ | June 26, 2014 | Kristin Tate

Texas Congressmen Louie Gohmert and Bill Flores introduced legislation that offers a $1 million reward for any individual who can recover former IRS director Lois Lerner’s "lost" emails.

An additional $500,000 would be given in exchange for information regarding the destruction of the emails. The Identify and Recover Sent E-mails (IRS) Act (H.R. 4958), if passed, would cut the salaries of IRS employees by 20 percent until the emails are recovered.

Flores told Breitbart Texas that he was inspired to take action after groups in his district were unfairly targeted by the IRS.

"A Tea Party group in my district was one of the first conservative groups to be targeted," Flores said. "Then one of my donors appeared to be targeted... They're all frustrated with the IRS. Then when this news [about the lost emails] came out, they were all even more agitated."

Instead of sitting idly by, Flores decided that something must be done. He said that he came up with a "carrot stick approach" that gives the IRS negative reinforcement if the emails are not surfaced, and positive reinforcement if pertinent information is brought to light.

The Congressman added that he finds it very hard to believe that Lerner's emails are completely lost and unrecoverable. "You don't just lose emails under today's email systems," he said.

No one tied into the lost IRS emails is going to come forward for only $1M. They know they won’t live long enough to send one dime of it . You’re going to have to guarantee their safety too.

They could start by at least matching the deal Lerner’s getting.

Those emails are still out there. The IRS agent and Democrats involved would not have just casually destroyed those emails without retaining copies to ensure their fellow betrayers wouldn’t come after them in the future.

At this point, without a chain of custody there’s no way to know if any Emails provided are real or fake.

Make entry into the witness protection program of a whole new ID and life, executed 4 times in 1 month by 4 different agencies, each other agencies destroying the records of the others, and it might be considered.

Any competent forensic IT professional could find the “lost” e-mail messages - if given access to the IRS servers.
