Crap like this will continue and worsen until someone gets lined up against a wall and pays the ultimate price.
Until then, the smug nose thumbing and corruption will increase.

“Plot lines in Hollywood are more believable than what we are getting from this White House and the IRS.”

There are two possibilities, and it’s hard to say which is more likely.

1) The e-mails are so incredibly damning that the Obama Administration and IRS would rather admit to being so completely incompetent that their level of incompetence is unbelievable to reasonably knowledgeable observers.

2) The e-mails contain nothing of significance. The next move by Obama Administration is to order the IRS to retrieve the e-mails from their backups. Once retrieved, the Administration gets its shills to chant “phony scandal”.

The IRS knew as early as February 2014 that Lerner’s emails were missing...

Well, at least the IRS was doing its "due diligence" during the elapsed time before going public to "see" if there were any other sources, backups, mirrors or tapes that would still have copies of the e-mails. Alas, after all that "due diligence" they could "find" none.

Had to wait long enough to say the backup tapes were ‘recycled’

You always recycle tapes that are under investigations! dontcha know...

I am going to try this the next time the IRS wants data

THIS REMINDS ME OF SOME ISSUES

When you have a working IT department in your company (and I assume the IRS has one) the first thing you do when your computer crashes is submit and IT request.

Then the issue gets assigned and parts ordered and replaced and the issue close.

bakups may be made

WHERE IS THE PAPER TRAIL SHOWING ALL THESE STEPS?

Subpoena all emails from other government branches and offices where Lerner is either the sender or the recipient. Mail servers like Microsoft Exchange have a search function that could get this done in a few minutes.

Put her in jail and be done with it.

I'm sure Holder's Justice Department will get right on it as soon as they finish prosecuting Charlie Rangel for tax evasion. .

The IRS, in dealing with the residents of the United States, has the policy of requiring proof of innocence (aka Napoleonic Code). Thus if a taxpayer claims something, the IRS requires proof or else it denies the claim.

It appears to me to be only fair and reciprocal to use the same standard in this case. If the IRS cannot provide proof, then they must suffer the penalty!

It is interesting that this revelation does appear to close all trails to the White House, does it not? How very convenient!

If the committee doesn’t get a copy of the e-mail, it doesn’t care to see the e-mail.

Hillary Clinton was a congressional staffer during the Watergate hearings. Abuse of power, lying to congress, cover-up. This is why there should be no IRS. Its very existence entices power to corrupt. Something is fishy, and the fish always stinks from the head down.

Here’s a strategy hint for GOP, go after IRS!

The whole country hates the IRS so don’t hold back. Don’t mention WH at this juncture, let the info come out as it will but nail the IRS, they’re obstructing justice, destroying evidence, and probably about 20 other charges.

So unbelievable. Most email systems are backed up using a scheme called "Active"-"Active"...that is...the emails are instantaneously copied to fail back servers in case a main server fails; at most a few seconds of email might get corrupted or lost.

This is done because of federal regulations and laws.

This would mean....for these emails to be missing...both environments would have been required to crash....and...email would be missing for more than 6 or 7 persons.

Today's technology...and given this is the IRS...makes losing large quatities of emails over a long period of time...virtually impossible....

..and the media knows this....what a joke...

emails are never resident on a desk top machine.
Not true. I use Thunderbird email and during setup I selected "load new emails automatically onto my PC."
TB also gives me the option (during setup) to delete or save the emails on the host server.

The emails were destroyed accidentally on purpose.
