Scrubbed backup tapes, of course.
It took this long to recreate the backup tapes so that they tell the correct story.
Bingo. You WIN! I was thinking the same thing when I read the headline.
“A rather curious choice of words. Generally speaking backup tapes store data. One can easily imagine that in a few days we will learn that the tapes were blank. “
They will arrest the night operator who ran the backups, reported they were complete and no one ever looked because email archive servers are not mission critical for DR functions.
Most people find it a little odd that the IRS itself wasn’t able to find its own records, and that locating them required “investigators”.
It looks like they’re providing just enough to stay out of Club Fed.
BS, these tapes were likely manufactured to ‘EXONERATE’ Obama’s lackey Lerner.
"Ooooh, yeah, we'll jump right on that investigation. Buddy."
My immediate questions would be...
Who found the tapes, when were the tapes found, how many were present when the tapes were found and who are they, where were the tapes found, what was done with the tapes when found, in what location were the tapes found, why were the tapes in the location where found, what was the chain of custody for the found tapes, what was the time frame from when the tapes were found to when Koskinen was notified, after these immediate questions I would have a thousand more.
I’ll wager two thirds of these questions, if that many, or any of them at all will ever be asked.
I don’t trust Issa to get to the truth, I’ve watched to many committee hearings to trust him.
Let’s just say they were probably in Sandy Berger’s socks.
Yes I remember her. She probably works for the IRS now.
My guess is they found the tapes filed right next to a giant magnet seized during some tax seizure.
He's the head honcho/liberal/progressive. He's just like nobama. He has no need to know much. He has people for that.
It is awful suspicious...
Need to know more about how these tapes all of a sudden are now not destroyed.
And where are all of the tapes for all the other persons lost emails?
These records must be turned over to to Congress (The US Marshall?).
The IRS cannot be trusted to safeguard them.
I'll bet we will get to the bottom of this now! </sarc>
Things like - "But that would be wrong."

The DOJ and Congress should be reviewing the back-ups simultaneously.
However, my theory is the administration has been reviewing the back up tapes for a few weeks to make sure there is nothing incriminating.
To #5. Not a Smidgen???
Bet you can’t name the former FBI agent/Watergate investigator who found out about the tape-recording system from Woods.
