White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters today the concerns over two years of lost Lois Lerner emails was a “conspiracy theory.”
Breitbart reported:
Friday at the daily briefing, White House press secretary Josh Earnest repeatedly dismissed concerns over Internal Revenue Service claims that two years of Lois Lerner’s emails are lost forever as “conspiracy theories.”
“Turns out that there have been 13 months of multiple congressional investigations, including 14 congressional hearings, 30 interviews with IRS employees, 50 written congressional requests, and 750,000 pages of documents, and all of that has done nothing to substantiate false Republican claims of a broader political conspiracy,” Earnest said.
