Investigators
are blaming mistakes by IRS employees — not a criminal conspiracy — for
the loss of thousands of emails related to the tax agency’s tea party
scandal.
IRS workers erased 422 computer backup tapes that “most
likely” contained as many as 24,000 emails to and from former IRS
official Lois Lerner, who has emerged as a central figure in
congressional investigations, according to IRS’s inspector general.
The
workers erased the tapes a month after IRS officials discovered that an
untold number of Lerner’s emails were lost. The IG says the workers
were unaware of a year-old directive not to destroy email backup tapes
ANY FRICKIN QUESTIONS?
