IRS Failed to Search Five of Six Locations for Lois Lerner Emails
Americans for Tax Reform ^ | July 28, 2015 | By Alexander Hendrie

Posted on 07/28/2015 2:04:24 PM PDT by Brad from Tennessee

The IRS failed to search five of six possible sources of electronic media for Lois Lerner’s emails, according to a documentation released by the House Oversight Committee on Monday.

Over the course of investigations into the Lois Lerner targeting scandal, Commissioner John Koskinen repeatedly assured Congress that he would provide all of Lois Lerner’s emails. But based on testimony from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), this did not occur. The agency’s ineptness -- or corruption -- resulted in 24,000 Lerner emails being lost when they were “accidently” destroyed.

According to TIGTA official Timothy Camus, the IRS had six possible sources to search for Lois Lerner’s emails:

“The hard drive would have been a source, Blackberry source, backup tapes a source, the backup tapes for the server drives and then finally the loaner lap tops.”

When asked how many of these sources the IRS searched, Camus says was unable to say for certain whether the IRS had searched any, although he acknowledged it appears the agency did search Lerner’s hard drive:

“We’re not aware that they searched any one in particular. They did – it appears they did look into initially whether or not the hard drive had been destroyed, but they didn’t go much further than that.”

The agency’s refusal to conduct due diligence in its search for Lerner’s emails meant that 1,000 emails were not found until TIGTA searched backup tapes. . .

Some stuff is really hard to find.

It’s even harder when you’re not looking for it.

So why doesn’t the Congressional committe issue subpoenas and have federal agents march into those locations and take the information, just the way Obama has done to Sheriff Arpaio, amongst other people? Why don’t hey shut up and either sh*t or get off the pot? Hussein never takes anything like this long to have his goons go around harassing people.

The IRS, under the Obama Regime, has become an ongoing criminal enterprise and STASI-like governmental organ focused on oppressing the enemies of the state, enemies of the progressives and enemies of the ‘RATS.

It’s civil service ranks are filled with “willing executioners”.

Why, it’s almost like they weren’t trying very hard because they didn’t want to find them.

The government has slipped its leash and is now a self-sustaining criminal enterprise. We are on track to become Russia, except with an antipathy toward religion.

Thank you Comrade Obama, and all the ignoranti who voted for him.
