Lois Lerner's Blackberry Deliberately Destroyed After Start Of Congressional Probe: IRS Lawyer

Lois Lerner’s Blackberry was intentionally destroyed after Congress had begun its probe into IRS targeting of conservative groups, a senior IRS lawyer acknowledged in a sworn declaration.

Thomas Kane, Deputy Assistant Chief Counsel for the IRS, wrote in the declaration, part of a lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch against the IRS, that the Blackberry was "removed or wiped clean of any sensitive or proprietary information and removed as scrap for disposal in June 2012."

That date - June 2012 - is significant because by that time, ex-IRS official Lerner had already been summoned before congressional staffers who interviewed her about reports of the IRS' targeting of conservative groups.

All of these things that have been intentionally destroyed, lost and who knows what else by this woman, has to be a violation of law.

If the average citizen had done these things, they would be up to their necks in criminal charges
