E-mails of six more IRS employees go poof

 I guess you can't blame them for their brazenness.  Cattle aren't known to be real bright, and they can see that their pretty far along in their project of turning post-America into a nation of cattle, ergo . . .

Still, the ears of astute folks like LITD readers perk up at a development like this:

The Internal Revenue Service says it can’t produce e-mails from six more employees involved in the targeting of conservative groups, according to two Republicans investigating the scandal.

The IRS recently informed Ways and Means chairman Dave Camp and subcommittee chairman Charles Boustany that computer crashes resulted in additional lost e-mails, including from Nikole Flax, the chief of staff to former IRS commissioner Steven Miller, who was fired in the wake of the targeting scandal.

The revelation about Lerner’s e-mails rekindled the targeting scandal and today’s news has further inflamed Republicans. Camp and Boustany are now demanding a special prosecutor to investigate “every angle” of the events that led to Lois Lerner’s revelation in May 2013 that the agency had used inappropriate criteria to review the applications for tax exemption.

The lawmakers expressed particular outrage that the agency has known since February that it would not be able to produce the e-mails requested by the committee yet did not apprise the committee of that fact, and they charged in a statement that the IRS is attempting to “cover up the fact that it convenient lost key documents in the investigation.”

I know, it's easy to get inured to these things.  With indications of entropy overtaking the civilized world coming hourly now, digesting and prioritizing them is a tricky business.
