If there was ever any doubt that the IRS is stonewalling production of the missing Lois Lerner e-mails, recent IRS filings in the Judicial Watch lawsuit in the court of U.S. District Court Judge Emmett G. Sullivan remove all ambiguity. Even though the IRS has stipulated to Judicial Watch that backup systems exist to preserve all federal government e-mails, it has not bothered to search them, and now admits that to the court.
A press release from Judicial Watch that has received far too little media attention (with the conspicuous exception of Legal Insurrection) explains:
IRS attorneys conceded that they had failed to search the agency’s servers for missing emails because they decided that “the servers would not result in the recovery of any information.” They admitted they had failed to search the agency’s disaster recovery tapes because they had “no reason to believe that the tapes are a potential source of recovering” the missing emails. And they conceded that they had not searched the government-wide back-up system because they had “no reason to believe such a system … even exists.”
But:
The IRS admitted to Judge Sullivan that the agency failed to “submit declarations about any of the foregoing items because it had no reason to believe that they were sources from which to recover information lost as a result of Lerner’s hard drive failure.” [Emphasis added] Department of Justice attorneys for the IRS had previously told Judicial Watch that Lois Lerner’s emails, indeed all government computer records, are backed up by the federal government in case of a government-wide catastrophe.
This sounds like a bad-faith effort – really, contempt of court. Judge Sullivan cannot be happy about this cavalier failure to exert any effort to comply with an order.

The only way to stop this is to defund them, period. It’s the only option. Make Obama choose between them and his entitlements.
Really puts the “contempt” in Contempt of Congress
It's the only way to be sure....
With the new GOP muscle, a complete laundry list of all Obama scandals should be made very public, and a hyper-investigation be launched into each one.
Not only that, I read last week that some of those emails were between Jeanne Shaheen and Lois Lerner in a possible conspiracy to use the IRS against conservative groups. If proven, will they boot Shaheen out of office?
I've looked EVERYWHERE... it's not in the attic, it's not in the toilet, it's not on the roof, it's not in the furnace, it's not in Pittsburgh...
[it's in the ignition]
And the Money Quote is:
Incredibly, the IRS has not searched any of the IRS’s regular computer systems for any missing records and admits that it has only searched a “database” that it knows does not contain the missing records being sought by the court, Judicial Watch, and Congress.
Why the Judge hasn’t jailed them for contempt yet is beyond me.
I think some people have to be thrown in jail, and I mean immediately. More than Lerner.
What a bunch of liars.
My Posted thoughts to Liberals on FB on this now and in the past has been:
To all the DNC avid Supporters of who do not care how much Power the Big Government has Assembled, I warned of a Day when the Tide would change and they may find themselves at the receiving end of that abuse of power. Well maybe its time for your to wake up and Join Americans to Stop the Big Government Beast!!!
If you don’t you and your causes will be next...
They’re taking a page from OJ’s playbook, just like when he was out searching for Nichole’s killer...
Liars meet prison. Why aren’t any judges throwing these asshats in jail?
Why would the IRS look? 99.99999% of the vermin working there support punishing Obama’s political rivals.
The IRS. The IRS. The IRS.....enough!
I want names. Who was responsible for looking for the emails? Who failed to look for the emails?
Who is going to be frog marched out of the courthouse and into jail for contempt of court?
As a President, “O” is a dead letter... we can forget anything like Presidential conduct out of him.
He will NEVER be the President of the United States of America... He is just some guy who cashed in on his dumb luck and got a bunch of stupid Liberals to bank roll his fantasy for him.
I certainly don’t disagree with your assessment. However, his evil is not yet done.
