Watch Trey Gowdy's awesome take down of the IRS commissioner over the his poor response to the targeting of conservative groups
There were plenty of epic moments at last night’s House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing with IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, but Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) probably won the evening.
The committee wanted answers from Koskinen about why he and his agency haven’t been able to produce emails written by and sent to disgraced official Lois Lerner between January 2009 and April 2011. Republicans on the committee grilled the IRS chief while Democrats largely gave him a pass.
But Gowdy, a former prosecutor, thundered away at Koskinen, explaining to him that the fact that the emails are missing infers that they were going to be bad news for the IRS, which, as the South Carolina Republican explains, is called “spoliation of evidence.”
“When a party has a duty to preserve evidence, or records, and they fail to do so, there is a negative inference that is drawn from their failure to preserve the evidence,” Gowdy told Koskinen. “It’s common sense, right? If you destroyed something, the jury has a right to infer that whatever you destroyed would not have been good for you, or else every litigate would destroy whatever evidence was detrimental to them.”
Gowdy also went after Koskinen for saying that he’s “no evidence of wrongdoing” while also admitting that he hasn’t reviewed the criminal statutes to make that determination. “How would you know what elements of the crime existed?” Gowdy fired back at the IRS commissioner. “You don’t even know what statues are at play.”
