We learned that the dog ate Lerner’s emails this week:

“After months of delay in responding to congressional inquiries, the IRS now claims that, for the period of January 2009 to April 2011, all e-mails between Lois Lerner — the IRS official at the center of the scandal — and anyone outside the IRS were wiped out by a ‘computer crash.'” – National Review Online

Kay Hagan has been absolutely silent on the lost Lois Lerner emails. Not a peep. Not a word. Nada. Zip.  Perhaps she thinks by keeping silent, that no one will notice her connection to the IRS targeting of Conservatives case:

On May 21, 2013 the National Republican Senatorial Committee sent the IRS a Freedom of Information Act request asking for “any and all documents or records, including but not limited to electronic documents, e-mails, paper documents, photographs (electronic or hard copy), or audio files,” related to correspondence from January 1, 2009 and May 21, 2013 between thirteen different Democrat members of Congress and top IRS officials. Those officials include former IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman, former Commissioner Steven Miller, senior IRS official Joseph Grant and former head of tax exempt groups Lois Lerner. Members of Congress named in the request include Sen. Schumer (D-NY), Sen. Reid (D-NV), DSCC Chair Sen. Bennet (D-CO), Sen. Landrieu (D-LA), Sen. Pryor (D-AR), Sen. Hagan (D-NC), Sen. Begich (D-AK), Sen. Shaheen (D-NH), Sen. Mark Udall (D-CO), Sen. Franken (D-MN), Sen. Warner (D-VA), Rep. Braley and Rep. Peters (D-MI). – TownHall

Or perhaps Hagan is busy taking her computer out to the woodshed to give it a few whacks? One might consider that idea as more plausible than being a joke, given that Kay Hagan has received over $7,500 from the The National Treasury Employees Union. $2,500 of that total in 2014 alone.

So, has Kay Hagan lost her emails too? Keep up the silence, Kay — in November you just might lose more than an email or two.
