Did Lois Lerner Even Understand the Laws She Was Enforcing?
Her emails "disappeared" in a hard drive crash that occurred ten days after the very first Congressional inquiry into anti-conservative targeting was lodged. Her bosses lied about the scheme's existence for two years. She lied about planting the question that allowed her agency to get out in front of a forthcoming Inspector General report proving those denials were false. She lied by blaming the wrongful abuse on rogue employees in a local IRS branch, knowing full well that she was personally involved in directing it from Washington. (The president repeated this long-discredited claim earlier this year).
She's refused to testify before Congress as her attorney seeks immunity from criminal prosecution. And last evening, we discovered that the woman at the center of the IRS scandal casually recommended siccing her agency's examination squad onto a sitting United States Senator -- who happened to be the ranking member of the committee that oversees the IRS. Lois Lerner's greatest hits. Katie wrote up the Grassley revelation yesterday, and the story went viral for all the obvious reasons. Andy Levy is right about the most interesting part of that 2012 email exchange:
@DrewMTips @AceofSpadesHQ @guypbenson @allahpundit the best part of it is the other official nicely telling her she's a moron
