Will Joe Garcia Help Find Lois Lerner’s Missing E-Mails?

June 16, 2014

Will Garcia Help Uncover the Truth Behind the IRS Scandal or Will He Help the Administration Cover Up Another Scandal?

WASHINGTON – Last week, the IRS sent a letter to the House Ways and Means committee explaining that they lost Lois Lerner’s emails from January 2009 to April 2011 due to a “computer crash.” These “missing emails” demonstrate the lengths the Obama Administration and Congressional Democrats will go in order to cover up the IRS’ effort to target tax-exempt conservative groups based on their political beliefs.

Joe Garcia’s silence solidifies the fact that he has become a Washington insider and is out of touch with Florida taxpayers. Instead of demanding answers and holding the IRS accountable, Garcia is helping the Administration coverup a scandal in hopes of political support for his re-election.

“First Lois Lerner refused to comply with Congressional investigations and now her emails are ‘missing’. That just doesn’t pass the smell test,” said NRCC Communications Director Andrea Bozek. “Joe Garcia has the opportunity to protect Florida taxpayers from being wrongfully targeted by holding the Administration accountable and condemning the IRS officials responsible for this scandal.”
