Could somebody please explain the right-wing IRS scandal?

Why is it not mentioned on DU?

Why were Lerner's email deleted?

Thanks.

which is sometimes mentioned at DU; saw something a while ago.

Not deliberately deleted, IRS says function of old technology, which doesn't/can't retain all of this stuff (which is different from taxpayer's records, this is e.mail.)

If you tried to use the same excuse with the IRS about your own tax records, they would nail your ass to the wall.

would not fly with the IRS. You have to keep 7 years of records.
