“Claiming that hundreds or thousands of [former IRS commissioner Lois Lerner’s] recent emails have been ‘lost’ beggars belief. It provides us with a spectacle of an escalating contempt for constitutional constraints. We don’t believe generally at this point that the facilities of large Western governments acknowledge ‘the rule of law,’ but it is alarming to see a major US agency willing to make the point so obviously. In this era of FATCA and GATCA, when the US government in particular is demanding absolute financial transparency from its citizens, the stance of the IRS indicates a growing gap between what is expected of individuals and the accountability of governmental entities.”
