Issa to IRS Commissioner: Lerner’s Lawyer Contradicted Your Testimony… Want To Try Again?

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa has told IRS commissioner John Koskinen that his sworn testimony on Lois Lerner’s missing emails was contradicted by recent statements from Lerner’s lawyer, and offered Koskinen a chance to amend his testimony.
“Recent public statements from William W. Taylor III, the attorney representing former IRS official Lois Lerner, have raised new questions about Ms. Lerner’s Federal Records Act compliance practices and the circumstances surrounding the loss of e-mails and destruction of her hard drive,” Issa wrote in a letter Wednesday to Koskinen. “Accordingly, I ask that you assist the Committee in reconciling apparent discrepancies between your claims that Ms. Lerner fully maintained records and statements by her attorney that she did not and that it was not her responsibility.”
Lerner and six other IRS employees allegedly suffered computer crashes that wiped out the emails they sent during the agency’s targeting of conservative groups. The Federal Records Act required Lerner to keep hard copies of her emails.
