CNSNews.com) - "I said I would provide all the emails. We are providing all the emails. The fact that three years ago, some of them -- not all of them, but some of them -- were not available, I never said I would provide you emails we didn't have," IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told a Monday evening hearing of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

Frustrated Republicans and apologetic Democrats questioned Koskinen about Lois Lerner's vanished emails for several hours, beginning with Committee Chair Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who asked Koskinen if he knew those critical emails were missing when he testified before Issa's committee on March 26 -- but said nothing at the time about problems cropping up.

What he meant was “I never promised to provide you emails that were disappearing even as I spoke.” Destruction of evidence is one crime, but destruction of evidence after it’s been subpoenaed is quite a different thing.

Lawyers and businesspersons have been thrown in jail for doing just this in civil discovery in lawsuits. Also, when evidence is destroyed, the jury is instructed that it may infer the evidence was incriminating.

But, these people are above the law and the craven sycophants who claim to be journalists are not calling them on it.

When will we get to see the “chain of custody” of the Server Logs and the Server logs themselves for the period in question.

I’m just guessing but I’m thinking NEVER.

When you swear to tell the Truth, its the whole truth.

This would be perjury in a Court.

A sin of ommission.

It’s a partial backfire of their desire to make the IRS the most feared agency in America.

More like Hotmail has them.

I’ve been guessing at the usernames Lerner, Ingram, etc used outside the IRS email system.

This reminds me of the cartoon with Al Gore swinging from a White House chandelier, on the phone: “No, I’m not on government property.”

He was told to provide all the emails.

All means All. Not just those that are easily available. Not just those which they can find. Not just those at the gas station.

All means all. That's what it should mean. Just like the commercial.

I haven’t watched the hearings, but I haven’t seen anything in the bits I have seen about Sonasoft. They were backing up the IRS’s emails until 2 months after Lerner’s computer crashed, at which point their contract was canceled. But they would still have those archives, right? And they wouldn’t just trash them as they belong to the IRS, right? And they should’ve turned them back to the IRS where they should’ve been kept, right?

Why isn’t anyone asking those questions?

Offer a 5 million dollar reward for anyone who can find and present the emails. If wanted the person locating them can remain anonomous.
There has got to be at least one dem that would sell out their party for that much money.

He speaks “lawyerese” all the time in an effort to mislead and outright LIE.

Yep, or gmail. Thing is, you should be able to find that out from her current email address list if she continued to use it.
