Lois Lerner needs to go to jail

Continued Corruption: Lerner’s ‘Missing’ Hard Drive was Recoverable

The House Ways and Means Committee has had enough excuses from those seeking to protect the IRS from the fallout surrounding the IRS scandal. The committee learned on Tuesday that the hard drive containing the so-called “lost” emails from Lois Lerner’s office was “scratched,” but very much recoverable, despite earlier assertions by government IT specialists.

In the law, there is a thing called "spoliation of evidence" which basically says when a litigant has destroyed relevant evidence which is sought by the other side, the fact finder may infer that the evidence would have been adverse to the position of the one who destroyed it.   This makes sense, because there would be no rational motive for someone to destroy evidence that would prove their innocence in the court of law and the court of public opinion.

The IRS's failure to produce Lois Lerner's emails implies much more than a mere coincidence or accident, and it is reasonable to conclude that those emails contained damning evidence.  If, as President Obama and his proxies continue to insist, this whole thing is a "phony scandal" and a GOP witch hunt, you can be certain that Lerner's emails records would have been made public months ago.   Lerner, for her part, has offered no explanation for what happened aside from asserting her innocence moments before invoking her Fifth Amendment right to remain silent in order to avoid self-incrimination.
