Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and Bill Flores (R-Texas) have introduced legislation that would pay $1,000,000 to anyone who can locate former IRS director Lois Lerner’s missing emails. A reward of $500,000 is offered for info regarding the destruction of the emails if that info can lead to persecution.
The Identify and Recover Sent E-mails (IRS) Act (H.R. 4958) would also cut salaries at the IRS by 20% until the emails are recovered.
So how much of that $1,000,000 would the IRS take in taxes?
“It seems that each time the IRS has evidence that will either prove with certainty its guilt or innocence, the evidence disappears which both common sense and the law indicate the evidence such as emails must have proved the IRS’s impropriety if not outright crimes. It is time the IRS either comes clean, or has a special prosecutor to clean it up. This bill should help in the interim,” Congressman Gohmert said.
“I find it very hard to believe that the emails from Lois Lerner are lost and unrecoverable. It is very convenient that the IRS is unable to turn over any of the communications from the central figure responsible for the inappropriate targeting of conservative groups. We will not sit idly by as the IRS continues to work to cover up its blatant abuse of government power,” Congressman Flores said.
“Lois Lerner’s involvement in the planning and execution of beliefs-based IRS targeting can only stay hidden for so long. By providing these incentives we can get people to reveal the hidden truths behind this egregious cover up,” Flores stated. “It is time to hold the IRS’ feet to the fire and for them to come clean about Lois Lerner’s involvement. I remain committed to uncovering the truth and ensuring that all federal agencies are working to serve the American public with integrity and fairness.”
I do not understand this because you can retrieve your email from any computer?
Cut ALL IRS salaries, they already make far too much as it is, and they do NOT earn that money!
Cut them all down to $15.00/Hour. No government employee should be able to become a MILLIONAIRE off the TAXPAYER’S DEBTS!!
Dissolve the idiot retainer service
Oh, these are SPECIAL e-mails, they prove that Obama is to blame , therefore they’re with his ” college transcripts”. We ALL know the president is right and “people are out to get him because of his race”. Face it HE THINKS WE’RE ALL MORONS ! ( 47% are proving him right about that. ONLY thing he’s been right about in 6 years )
Why is this woman Not in jail?
Bogus bull$#%&!@* she destroyed them along with anyone involved should be prosecuted
This is great as it demonstrates to a Gov’t agency out of control that they do not have an unlimited credit card, and the cover is broken. Give up the funny business and we ARE taking retribution for their crimes, or will shut them down if they destroy on conceal the evidence. Trey Gowdy will bite them like a snapping turtle.
Hey you $#%&!@*ing dummies, why don’t you have the FBI raid the IRS and confiscate all the computers, files and memo’s like you do to civilians when you think they broke the law? Or have a SWAT team go in and hold all the IRS employees at Bay with AR-16’s like you did to that guitar company in Colorado because they were using the wrong wood to make their guitars, or raid the Amish with SWAT teams because they were selling raw milk to residents in DC, the same milk I drank when I was a kid on a farm in Southern Illinois. Girlie men all of you are, you limp noodles, grow some Balls!
They will just pay more than that to keep them lost
