Case of the Missing Emails

Quite an exciting title, eh?  Perhaps someone should call Shaggy and Scooby or the Hardy Boys to solve this one.  Let's cut to the chase.

Before my time, there was the scandal of all scandals -- Watergate.  This involved the President of the United States wire-tapping the Democratic headquarters to gain a political advantage.  Perhaps the most infamous part of the entire story is the lost 18 1/2 minutes of the recorded tapes.  This portion was claimed to have been erased as a result of an error by President Nixon's secretary.  She received a phone call while transcribing the tapes for the court and meant to press stop but pressed record instead.  Or at least that's her story.  The lost portion of the tapes was quite possibly the most damning evidence that proved when and why this scandal began.

Now compare that to today's IRS scandal.  For over a year, Lerner and the IRS have claimed they are working to satisfy the subpoena by turning over all of her emails.  Yet suddenly, they've admitted that a computer crashed, resulting in all of Lerner's emails being lost from 2009-2011.

Is this the Obama administration's lost 18 1/2 minutes?  The purpose of the IRS targeting conservative groups was to gain a political advantage.  The purpose of wire-tapping the Democratic headquarters was to gain a political advantage.  The most damning evidence was lost in both scandals.  The similarities are uncanny.

The American people deserve to know the truth.  We always deserve to know the truth.  I don't know about you, but I'm tired of being lied to by politicians playing politics.  I'm tired of the media defending their favorite politicians instead of asking them the tough questions.  I'm tired of our government officials living above the law.  I'm tired of zero accountability.
