Mark Meckler appeared on Fox News recently to discuss how the IRS could “lose” 24,000 emails that pertain to that agency’s targeting of conservative groups. Many of them, the IRS admits, were to or from former IRS director Lois Lerner.

The IRS will claim that this was accidental, of course. It’s the same tactic they’ve been using since the start of the scandal and ensuing investigations. They’d rather pass themselves off as hopelessly incompetent than utterly corrupt.

With such a pattern of behavior stretching across years, how can we be sure the government will hold this agency to account for its actions?

With the Department of Justice and the President both saying there’s nothing to see in this scandal, “it’s literally impossible for there to be any justice from the government itself; the only chance for justice is for private citizens to hold the IRS accountable.”

That’s exactly what Citizens for Self-Governance is doing along with many conservative, Tea Party, Christian, and pro-Israel groups who were targeted by the IRS. We are funding the only lawsuit against the IRS that survived the government’s motions to dismiss. Stay up-to-date with the case’s progress at SuetheIRS.com.
