If this were actually in the IRS, all they'd have to do is to show the Judge and it would be all over. GIANT Facepalm!

A Justice Department official admitted that former IRS official Lois Lerner’s apparently missing emails actually exist on a backup server, but the government doesn’t plan to retrieve them.
“A Department of Justice attorney told a Judicial Watch attorney on Friday that it turns out the federal government backs up all computer records in case something terrible happens in Washington and there’s a catastrophe, so the government can continue operating,” Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton told Fox News’ Shannon Bream.
“But it would be too hard to go get lois lerner’s emails from that backup system,” Fitton continued, paraphrasing the DOJ official. “So, everything we’ve been hearing about scratched hard drives, about missing emails of Lois Lerner, other IRS officials, other officials in the Obama administration, it’s all been a pack of malarkey. They could get these records, but they don’t want to.”
Fitton said his group plans to ask a federal judge to order the IRS to hand over the emails, which conservative opponents of Lerner want to see in order to determine if there is a link between President Obama’s team and the IRS’s targeting of Tea Party groups.
“If this backup system is working, Lois Lerner’s emails are there,” Fitton said.
Great Minds, - - - and all that.
AUGUST 25, 2014
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton made the following statement regarding recentsworn declarations made by IRS officials in response to Judge Emmet G. Sullivan’s continuing investigation into the missing emails of Lois Lerner and other IRS officials, which have been the subject of longstanding Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and lawsuit ( Judicial Watch v. IRS (No. 1:13-cv-1559)):
Contrary to Judge Sullivan’s specific orders and the law, the Obama administration persists in obstructing the truth about “missing” emails from Lois Lerner and other IRS officials. Judicial Watch will press its concerns on Monday, August 25, before U.S. Magistrate Judge John Facciola, who was appointed by Judge Sullivan to manage and assist in discussions between Judicial Watch and the IRS about how to obtain any missing records. Magistrate Facciola is an expert in e-discovery.
Judge Sullivan, in his earlier ruling, appointed Magistrate Judge John M. Facciola to manage and assist in discussions between Judicial Watch and the IRS about how to obtain any missing records from other sources. Magistrate Facciola is an expert in e-discovery, and authorized Judicial Watch to submit a request for limited discovery into the missing IRS records after September 10.
And you’re Barney Fife?
What’s your point?
If this were actually in the IRS, all they'd have to do is to show the Judge and it would be all over. GIANT Facepalm!
They’ll say the backup system is NOT working!
------------->
They will also say the BACK UP TO THE BACK UP is also NOT working.
That picture is really Jim Robinson’s den, down in Fresno.
The wheel is how he steers world opinion.

This is just more incontrovertible evidence that the entire Federal Government is wholly, totally and completely illegitimate.
We must come to understand that the Federal Government as it now exists HAS ABSOLUTELY NO LEGITIMATE, MORAL or LEGAL AUTHORITY TO GOVERN US ANY LONGER.
All it has is the end of a gun to force itself on us and demand compliance with it.
The faster We The People come to recognize this fact, the more possible it might be to save what’s left of our liberty from it.
So the judge can arrest the Justice Department?
This is pretty much what tyranny looks like.
I think I recognize it by the unabated, rampant lawlessness and the basically, “Bite me” message being sent loud and clear to a sitting judge with jurisdiction.
In front of a judge - today!
To the gallows - tomorrow!
Thee are other jurisdictions. An Attorney General of nearly any state where a Tea Party application was delayed or denied could level civil rights charges, if for no other reason than to begin an investigation and issues subpoenas for evidence. Ohio might be a good places to start.
About a week ago the judge ordered the IRS to produce a sworn statement showing exactly what happened to all the emails. Now, under that intense pressure, this finally comes out. Also, given the huge capabilities of Boolean search engines like Googgle, Lexis, and Nexus, I seriously doubt that it would be really that hard to recover those emails. After all, the tapes or discs could be run once with “Lerner” as sender or recipient to get all of her in and out emails. Then those emails could be recorded a more readily searched medium and searched for specific key words and phrases. Thereafter, once even more specific word patterns and phrases had been discovered, there could be an even more specific search.
Of course, the aforesaid process is just what the Obamunist criminal conspirators fear and why they are fighting so hard to stop it.
You are absolutely right -
at this point, we only obey to avoid being shot,
not because they have legitimate authority,
not from the “consent of the governed”.
When enough people decide that we don’t want to be “governed” under those conditions, it’s gonna get ugly.
Sheriff Arpaio would.”
Agreed. No underwear for the women!
AMEN, sweet brother!
It will come down to armed police, National Guard and our military to pick a side. Typical citizens are going to try, but their little purse pistols, holster guns and grandad’s old shotgun are not going to cut it against gumint drone missiles, an American Muslem force, cartel gang enforcers (flowing across a borderless border puddle), and the roaming rabble evil.
I wouldn’t be that shocked if the useless Republicans are “allowed” to even keep the House of Representatives, before all hell breaks lose.
Maybe to a hardcore socon, NR would be satire. But he’d have to be a truther, birther, born-again Bircher.
It’s in San Francisco. Cold and dank year round.
The wheel indicates that this was an early portable system, but what is the UFO in the upper right corner?
God help me, the first computer I ever “used” was very much like this one.
So they lied. so unexpected
