Let me get this straight.
Last Friday, the IRS announced that Lois Lerner's office computer had crashed, and as a result, some of her emails from a very important period, were deleted.
Today, they said that it wasn't just her emails, but more emails from certain other important employees.
Now, did those other employees' emails vanish due to the crash of Lois Lerner's desktop computer, too?
Or have there been a sudden rash of computer crashes, that nobody knew about until now, scattered around the IRS building(s), that just happened to hit all the important players in the IRS scandal, all at the same time, wiping out all emails under subpoena from the same critical period?
Why do I get the feeling that someone somplace said over the weekend, "Those rubes will fall for the 'local computer crash deleted emails from remote servers' excuse, no problem, so let's use it for the other emails we don't want revealed too!" ??
How long will it be before they tell us the emails vanished due to an internet video about Mohammed?

Its not just Lois Lerners emails. The Internal Revenue Service says it cant produce emails from six more employees involved in the targeting of conservative groups, according to two Republicans investigating the scandal.
The IRS told Ways and Means chairman Dave Camp and subcommittee chairman Charles Boustany that computer crashes resulted in additional lost emails, 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 Lerners emails rekindled the scandal and todays news has further inflamed Republicans. Camp and Boustany are now demanding a special prosecutor to investigate every angle of the targeting. They expressed particular outrage that the agency has known since February that it would not be able to produce the emails requested by the committee yet did not apprise the committee of the 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.
If Lerner is the central figure in the scandal Oversight Committee chairman Darrell Issa said Monday evening he believes she was the senior-most official involved Flax may be an important auxiliary figure.
