Widening the IRS email scandal

Okay, say the federal gestapo (known as the IRS) really did lose three years worth of former director Lois Lerner’s emails. Just as a thought experiment.

What about all the other fed agency recipients of her emails in those years? Not to mention the originators of the ones sent to her? Are they also missing?

They might well be, for as Instapundit says: “I think it’s fair at this point to assume that the ‘missing’ emails are missing because someone in the White House was behind this.”

If so, then if there is a conspiracy (to protect the White House) that is much wider than anyone has noticed so far. Congress could start by subpoenaing all Lerner emails for those years from all federal agencies.

UPDATE:  Instead, Congress wants the actual IRS hard drive they claim destroyed the missing emails. Any competent IT guy should be able to recover them.
