Lois Lerner Had Not One, But Two, Personal Email Accounts Used to Conduct IRS Business

The Washington Times reports:

IRS lawyer Geoffrey J. Klimas told the court that as the agency was putting together a set of documents to turn over to Judicial Watch, it realized Ms. Lerner had used yet another email account, in addition to her official one and another personal one already known to the agency.
“In addition to emails to or from an email account denominated ‘Lois G. Lerner‘ or ‘Lois Home,’ some emails responsive to Judicial Watch’s request may have been sent to or received from a personal email account denominated ‘Toby Miles,’” Mr. Klimas told Judge Emmet G. Sullivan, who is hearing the case.
It is unclear who Toby Miles is, but Mr. Klimas said the IRS has concluded that was “a personal email account used by Lerner.”

To date, the former head of the EPA, the IRS’s Lois Lerner, and Hillary Clinton have all been caught  using private email accounts for official business. It’s obvious this was a tactic was an attempt to evade scrutiny; it might be time for the GAO and/or Congress to conduct some sort of audit to find out just how widespread this practice really is.
