Obama administration playing politics with production of witnesses to Lois Learner's computer crash story

Daily Mail on Sunday:
Outrage in Congress as Obama's Treasury Department won't let witness testify about Lois Lerner's 'lost' emails until AFTER the election


  • House Ways and Means chairman angrily demanded that Treasury Secretary make lawyer Hannah Stott-Bumsted available next week
  • Stott-Bumsted was the first Treasury aide who learned from the IRS about disgraced former official Lois Lerner's now-famous 'lost' emails
  • She was told by her friend Catherine Duval, an IRS lawyer she had worked with in private law practice
  • Congress never learned about the emails, or the computer crash that destroyed them, until two months later
  • Now the Obama Treasury Department has stonewalled Congress, Republicans say, refusing to let Stott-Bumsted testify until next month
They must think her testimony will not be helpful to Democrat candidates.
