It’s not just Lois Lerner’s e-mails. The Internal Revenue Service says it can’t produce e-mails from six more employees involved in the targeting of conservative groups, according to two Republicans investigating the scandal.
The IRS recently informed Ways and Means chairman Dave Camp and subcommittee chairman Charles Boustany that computer crashes resulted in additional lost e-mails, including from Nikole Flax, the chief of staff to former IRS commissioner Steven Miller, who was fired in the wake of the targeting scandal.
The revelation about Lerner’s e-mails rekindled the targeting scandal and today’s news has further inflamed Republicans. Camp and Boustany are now demanding a special prosecutor to investigate “every angle” of the events that led to Lois Lerner’s revelation in May 2013 that the agency had used inappropriate criteria to review the applications for tax exemption.

Bet you threaten them with jail they would find the emails...
Lost??? Is that really the word they chose to use?
Down the rabbit hole again.
They can't keep the ones they need - they take the ones they shouldn't...and lie through their teeth about everything else!
Elections can't get here soon enough...too bad stupid people are allowed to vote!
When republicans finally get control of the house and senate they have some serious house cleaning to do.
They're there, just need the right people to be looking. But, they won't allow that... Nope, let's just allow another cover-up and seal the lid.
NEVER lost. there are ways to get these emails. many people know this. so get on it now...
Actually the investigators intentionally lost the emails because they don't have the time or the manpower to investigate this properly.There is too much going on in addition to this.
Eight years ago I lost 6 months of work-related tax-deductible receipts. I was audited. I explained that the receipts were missing, but if they would check, they would see that I have the same exact expenses every year for nine years.
Misplacing these receipts was unacceptable to them. They even flippantly said to me that it sounded a little like "my dog ate my homework" excuse.
It cost me a little over $4000.00 in extra tax and penalties.
So this excuse from the IRS - ESPECIALLY to me - is absolutely unacceptable.
Obviously 'the most transparent administration' can't keep up with modern technology.
Put them back on 3 part memos, and then they will have to blame their dogs!
Years from now, when all of the book deals have been signed, this administration will make Richard Nixon's look like amateur hour.
