The IRS’s recent claim that two years’ worth of emails from Lois Lerner — the official at the center of the scandal regarding the tax agency’s apparent targeting of conservative groups — evaporated due to a computer crash seems too convenient to accept at face value. It’s so ridiculous that since the announcement, a fantasy sequence has kept playing out in my head.
Imagine IRS agents descending on a company or perhaps even a lone One Percenter to review tax records, suspecting some sort of fraud or other crime.
