If a Cincinnatian were audited tomorrow, the IRS would expect my constituent to have the last 7 years of records to simply prove their compliance with the law. The IRS? Not so much. It is a different standard for them. After spending years politically targeting Americans, and trampling the First Amendment to silence opposition, the IRS is hiding from the American people. Now, instead of coming clean, the IRS is essentially saying: Sorry, the dog ate my homework. They say: Our emails are missing. It would appear that Lois Lerner knew what she was doing. In April 2013 she warned staff to be cautious about what information they put in emails. The Federal Government cannot and should not expect to live above the rules that govern every hardworking American. The breach of trust is devastating. The American people expect a government that is answerable to the people, not one that shirks any accountability or responsibility for blatant political abuse. A viable special prosecutor must be appointed to get answers. We can't continue to let bureaucrats hide from justice. ____________________

It appears there is to be no soul-searching from you, Governor--I'm sorry--no self-critique of what could have been done better and improved upon.
