On Wednesday, House Republicans revealed that at least one Internal Revenue Service official believes that it is possible that the agency did not “recycle” all of the hardware and backup tapes on which were stored former IRS executive Lois Lerner’s missing emails. This development may contradict testimony from IRS Commissioner John Koskinen who told members of Congress that none of Lerner’s emails could be recovered.

The claim came from Stephen Manning, an IRS IT official, and Todd Egaas, director of technology operations and investigative services for the tax collection agency. Both testified in the U.S. District Court in Washington D.C. last week about the IRS’s efforts to collect and recover data from Lerner’s hard drive.

According to Washington Post reporter Josh Hicks, both officials’ testimony suggests that Lerner’s emails may still be out there.

The IRS apparently created a help-desk ticket for Lerner on June 13, 2011, when her hard drive crashed. According to that ticket, a “mid-level specialist” attempted to recover the data that was damaged on Lerner’s hard drive, but it was unrecoverable.

They are on servers and backup servers..................somewhere..................

Exactly. And if the Republicans were smart, they be asking for all the emails of people who Lois Lerner was potentially writing, including Cummings. They will be found given time. The Democrats just want to run the clock out.

The IRS cover up from the top down is going to be real messy for the democrats some bodies will see jail time.

May? MAY? MAY EXIST???

Now that they’ve had plenty of time to scrub them of anything incriminating, they can say they MAY exist?

Do they or don’t they?

The missing emails are about HIDING US taxpayer money which went to Hamas
and other terrorist organizations.
