White House counsel subpoenaed to testify about missing email

Daily Signal:

Darrell Issa addressed his most recent summons to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Seeking more information about Lois Lerner’s lost emails, the House Oversight Committee chairman has asked White House counsel Jennifer O’Connor to testify on Tuesday.

Issa believes that O’Connor may have known about the missing emails long before lawmakers.

Earlier this week, the Internal Revenue Service revealed that Lerner’s hard drive crashed and had been discarded, likely placing the lost emails forever out of reach to investigators.

A veteran Washington legal strategist, O’Conner was brought on to provide special counsel to IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel. From May until November of last year, O’Conner helped “navigate the scandal over [the IRS’s] reviews of conservative organizations,” according to a Wall Street Journal article quoted by Issa.

Serving in this capacity, O’Connor had access to IRS correspondence relevant to the investigation. Testifying before the Oversight Committee last November, IRS Chief Counsel William Wilkins referred to O’Connor specifically as “the key supervisor” responsible for processing the committee’s requests for material.

There is already evidence that the White House was told about the missing emails months before Congress learned about it.  If she claims executive privilege I think things will further implode around this administration.  But getting a straight answer out of this arrogant administration may be difficult.
