(CNSNews) – After the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) was subpoenaed and issued a preservation order for Lois Lerner’s missing emails, tapes that potentially contained her emails were wiped, which was the topic of conversation at a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing at the Rayburn Building on Capitol Hill on Thursday.
“There was a preservation order in place, there’s a subpoena in place, they’ve never complied with it; we’ve had testimony from the IRS commissioner that we would get all this only to find out they’ve been degaussing these tapes and they destroyed evidence,” said Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) at the hearing.
The main witnesses at the hearing were Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration J. Russell George and Deputy Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration Office of Investigations Tim Camus.
“That’s what they did and that’s why we continue to have this,” said Chaffetz. “We haven’t even gotten into the content of the emails. We’re just trying to get them so we can read them and figure out what’s going on.”
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) focused his remarks on the timeline of events happening with the IRS scandal:

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE !!! Lerner and those covering up for her should all be put in jail and changes should be made so this does not happen again. We are like sheep being taken for slaughter.
ReplyDeleteShe should go to prison... any of us would do time for the same thing.
ReplyDeleteWhy isn't she in jail?
ReplyDelete1:07 I agree. These people broke the law. And, don't stop there. Move on to Clinton who is probably even more corrupt.
ReplyDeleteThese communists running our country are getting away with murder.
ReplyDeleteLock her as up for obstruction already. Hillary as well. Hang Obama while we're cleaning house!
ReplyDeleteWhen IRS comes knocking, to tell me I am being audited, I'll tell them all my information is on Lois's computer, How far do you think that will get me?
ReplyDelete2:22 Not far. You MUST bow down to them. THEY are allowed to screw you. Sorry. We should vote out all democrats immediately.
ReplyDeleteWow people need to go to jail over this. If there was nothing to hide it would have come out in the investigation.
ReplyDeleteThis just teaches you to lie and try to cheat the IRS at every turn because they do the same thing when given the chance.
ReplyDeleteBefore going to prison, she has to go to court. Before going to court, she has to be indicted. Before being indicted, she has to be charged with a crime. To be charged with a crime, there has to be evidence. If the crime is destroying evidence, was it evidence to begin with? And around and around it goes, the merry-go-round of the people vs. the president.
ReplyDeleteWhat fish? LOL....
