WH Counsel Can’t Name One Person She Worked With During 6-Month Stint at IRS

 
During Chaffetz’s exchange, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) interrupted: “Mr. Chairman, I think you may be unfair to the witness. The fact is that last night, the commissioner could not remember 60 days ago who told him about the importance of losing those documents.
“Last night, he could not narrow less than 60 days ago within 30 days when he was told. I think that in fact the ability to remember at the IRS is simply limited,” Issa concluded. :)
******************************

White House attorney Jennifer O’Connor testified before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Tuesday that she couldn’t recall who she worked with during her six months at the IRS.

Before working for the Office of White House Counsel, O’Connor worked for the IRS from May 2013 to November 2013 to help the agency deal with the IRS scandal.

Besides naming acting IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel, IRS Chief Counsel William Wilkins, and IRS Deputy Chief Counsel of Operations Chris Sterner – whom she reported to – O’Connor could not name one person she interacted with or specifically reported to her during her tenure at the IRS.

“Anybody in the IT arena?” Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) asked O’Connor.

  1. Yes, yes! Remember, these are the SOB;s that will disallow or even punish a business owner for claiming a receipt for a meal where the owner entertained a business client seven years ago but cant remember the name of which one. This is just another case of one set of laws for me and another set for thee!
