Attorney Representing Conservative Groups Not Surprised by More "Lost" IRS Emails

Surprise! The IRS claims it has lost emails belonging to even more employees embroiled in the scandal surrounding the targeting of conservatives. Guy covered the details of the newest revelations earlier today and the AP reported about the lost emails over the weekend.

The IRS says it has lost emails from five more workers who are part of congressional investigations into the treatment of conservative groups that applied for tax exempt status. The tax agency said in June that it could not locate an untold number of emails to and from Lois Lerner, who headed the IRS division that processes applications for tax-exempt status. The revelation set off a new round of investigations and congressional hearings. On Friday, the IRS said it has also lost emails from five other employees related to the probe, including two agents who worked in a Cincinnati office processing applications for tax-exempt status. The agency blamed computer crashes for the lost emails. In a statement, the IRS said it found no evidence that anyone deliberately destroyed evidence.

Attorney Cleta Mitchell, who is representing many tea party and conservative groups targeted by the IRS, isn't impressed and not surprised about the latest round of "lost" emails.

"I have gotten to the point where this is like one of those infomercials where they say 'wait, wait, there's more!' I mean just when you think you've heard it all, you find out more things about the IRS and frankly I think what Congressman Camp said is absolutely right that there is no way we are getting anywhere close to the truth about what happened and the DOJ has become, in my opinion has become complicit in trying to cover-up what's been going on. I think we have to have a special prosecutor if we are ever going to get to the bottom of it," Mitchell said in an interview with Fox News.
