Surpise, Surprise

After waiting nearly a year for e-mails connected to IRS Scandal key witness Lois Lerner, the Congressional committee investigating the matter received a surprise response over the weekend. In what has become commonplace at the White House, the IRS chose a quiet Friday afternoon with other issues dominating the airwaves to inform the committee that the e-mail–Ready for this?–disappeared into cyberspace. Poof! Gone. The e-mails, of course, are key pieces of evidence in proving that Lerner and the IRS used government resources to place additional pressure on tax-exempt Tea Party affiliated organizations and conservatives prior to the 2010 and 2012 elections. Fox News host Bret Baier and a “Special Report” all-star panel (syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer, Ron Fournier of the National Review and syndicated columnist George Will) discuss the ramifications of the turn of events.
