When Did Lerner's Computer Crash? Ten Days After Rep. Camp Asked About Targeting

Hat tip Gateway Pundit

The big talking point of IRS Commissioner John Koskinen and his Democratic apologists is that Lois Lerner’s computer crashed three years ago in 2011 resulting in the loss of all those critical e-mails before he became commissioner and before all this fuss started.

Well, not exactly.

It turns out that the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Dave Camp, had sent a letter to IRS in 2011 asking if conservative groups had been targeted, ten days before the computer crashed. Six other IRS officials suspected of involvement also mysteriously had their computers crash during the same period.

Just another coincidence, I am sure.

The point is that the loss of e-mails is part of the time line of events. Moreover, Koskinen knew about it back in March when he testified and assured the committee that all of Lois Lerner’s e-mails would be forthcoming. Yet he and the IRS waited until last Friday to mention the problem on page 15 of a 27-page letter.

Yet, yesterday virtually every Democratic member of the Ways and Means Committee apologized to the arrogant Koskinen, dismissed the whole thing as a witch hunt and neglected to ask any probing questions, preferring to cede part of their allotted time for the commissioner to make his talking points. And today on MSNBC, liberal talking head Jonathan Alter repeated the Democratic line that this is just one big hootenanny.

The thing that is most outrageous about all this is that Lerner, Koskinen, the previous commissioners of IRS will all get away with it because you have a White House, a Senate, A Justice Department, Treasury Department all controlled by Democrats. Some of the Democrats in Congress, like Dick Durbin, Carl Levin, and Elijah Cummings have their own hands dirty in this mess because they pressured the IRS to go after conservative groups in the first place. They actually wanted the IRS to investigate and prosecute these groups. What the IRS was able to do was keep the requests for tax-exempt status in limbo.

And then you have most of the main stream media, which might as well be a state-run media since they refuse to investigate and root out the corruption of the Obama administration as they did the Nixon administration.

This is no way to sustain a democracy.
