Poll: 76% Think IRS Emails Were Deliberately Destroyed
Fox News ^ | June 25, 2014 | Dana Blanton

The consensus is: it’s no accident. More than three-quarters of voters -- 76 percent -- think the emails missing from the account of Lois Lerner, the ex-IRS official at the center of the scandal over targeting of conservative groups, were deliberately destroyed.

That’s according to a new Fox News poll.

That suspicion is shared across party lines, albeit to varying degrees. An overwhelming 90 percent of Republicans think the emails were intentionally destroyed, as do 74 percent of independents and 63 percent of Democrats.

Overall, just 12 percent of voters believe the emails were destroyed accidentally. Another 12 percent are unsure.

It’s a no-brainer for those who know IT.

...Also... I believe the executive branch is running “scared”. Very Scared! Someone gave the order to destroy and the chickens may come home to roost.

Doesn’t matter. The media is onboard with whatever the administration cares to claim. If the people don’t believe it, ‘eff them. What are you gonna do?

Oh right, Darrell Issa is gonna get them.

This is how it’s done in a communist country. We get a ring side seat.

It will never happen. No one will be perp-walked in an orange jumpsuit while Hussein is calling the media shots.

Not ever.

24% don’t care, or think it’s OK, because the IRS was targeting “tea baggers”.

Nothing to see here or it would have been reported in the NYT (owned by the OMG). We need to focus more on American Idol or reality TV. You guys are too serious about real news. Take a chill pill and relax.

I would agree....someone high up in the administration was attached to the mess and it was a major effort. Without the special prosecutor....it won’t go anywhere. Course, somewhere out there....there could be this one data back-up guy who quietly kept one copy of his effort as protection, and might suddenly show up now.

I seriously doubt there is any fear in the Obama administration. If something becomes uncomfortable, the media will come to the rescue.

Another busy day for Obama... choom, meet with Reggie Love, spend a couple hours doing ceremonial stuff, choom. Done.

That’s not good for the regime especially when 20% can always be counted on to side with the regime no matter what the question.

How about this? How about we stop the “nothing’s gonna happen” meme that dominates this board? I am sure it makes some feel smart and smug. But, that steady stream of demoralizing comments, thread after thread, day after day, is actually aiding and abetting.
Someone correct me and defend the strategy of constantly declaring defeat in the midst of the battle.

That guy is keeping quiet for now, trying to figure out whom he can trust, lest he be “Breitbarted”.

And Congress continues to fiddle, while the Constitution and our Republic burn.

Everybody knows they were destroyed purposely. 100%.

The doubters are lying, clinging to a thread of hope that the cover-up holds.

This might be a silver lining? 76% believing and many of that 76% knowing it was a deliberate act is better than thought it would be. Is much better than 50/50 but am perhaps pulling straws because I want to remain optimistic.

So what is the committee going to do? Unless they find a way that people end up in jail, the administration just moves on.

Other option...could they employ computer forensic experts to retrieve the emails?
