Judicial Watch: Missing IRS Emails are Backed Up
DOJ attorney admits Lois Lerner emails exist

BY: Washington Free Beacon Staff
August 25, 2014 3:31 pm

Judicial Watch, a watchdog group which has been investigating the IRS scandal, has learned that Lois Lerner’s supposedly missing emails may still exist within a federal government back-up system.

After months of administration officials insisting that two years worth of Lerner’s emails were irretrievable following a computer crash, a Department of Justice attorney admitted to Judicial Watch Friday that the federal government backs up all their computer records in case of catastrophe.

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen testified just a few months ago that Lerner’s emails were lost, while the IRS claimed it had gone to “unprecedented efforts” to retrieve the emails.

The news of the “lost” emails was met with wide mockery and disbelief in the press, with many suspecting that some back-up of the records must exist.

Tom Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch, told Fox News that the Department of Justice now claims it would be “too hard” to retrieve Lerner’s emails from the back-up system.

Fitton was irate over the administration’s deception: “Everything we’ve been hearing about scratched hard drives, missing e-mails of Lois Lerner, other IRS officials, other officials in the Obama administration–it’s all been a pack of malarkey.”

“There’s no such thing as Lois Lerner’s missing e-mails,” said Fitton. “It’s all been a big lie. They’ve been lying to the courts, to the American people and to Congress. It is really outrageous.”

Normally I'd say that some need to get over their sense of disbelief. The mechanisms by which backups occur are more slipshod & haphazard in the .gov than most people would ever imagine. Certainly most agencies are not resourced to actually maintain separate backups that conform with records retention law (sure, write another unrealistic law). That doesn't even get into actually dumping contents of what are supposed to be official communications to paper & forklifting them to a records-holding area somewhere when it's time to rotate the backup tapes.

But there's one little problem, hence the technical term "malarkey" as applied to their story:

They have already shown that they were able to produce email traffic from before & after the period in question.

I'm shocked; SHOCKED I say!

Email reveals Lois Lerner ignored political expenditures by unions

LINK to full story.

Quote:
The official at the center of the Internal Revenue Service tea party scandal once dismissed complaints that labor unions were not reporting millions of dollars in political activities on their tax forms, according to an email obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

In 2007, Lerner responded directly to a complaint that some major labor unions reported completely different amounts of political expenditures when filing with the IRS and the Department of Labor.
How could this be?

Only after the questions have been answered.

Who knew about it and when?

A dirt nap is too kind. She should have to blow the entire Iraqi Army instead.

Lerner hates being targeted

This completely made my day. For a moment, I thought about just posting it under the Happy Thought of The Day thread, but felt this was more relevant. Even her own neighbors tossed her out of their premises.

Video
That video is what you do to them, because that is what they fear the most.
Facing the truth about themselves, having that exposed to the public and being publically delegitimized.
You'll notice she couldn't even turn around and face the camera, not even to say "eff you" If they have no fear of the scarlet letter being applied to thier actions, why didn't she tell the reporter where to stick it? Instead she ran and kept her back to the camera, that is fear.
Her behavior, as does the rest of them, runs to the sociopathic.

It's odd the demeanor shift from her arrogance before elected members of Congress and being confronted by actual citizens in her neighborhood.

And her "neighbor's" version of "get off my lawn."
Cue Bob Dylan background music: "How does it feel.......?"

On Heinlein's Luna she would just quietly find herself on the other side of an airlock or a tear in her pressure suit.
