The IRS filing in federal Judge Emmet Sullivan’s court reveals shocking new information. The IRS destroyed Lerner’s Blackberry AFTER it knew her computer had crashed and after a Congressional inquiry was well underway. As an IRS official declared under the penalty of perjury, the destroyed Blackberry would have contained the same emails (both sent and received) as Lois Lerner’s hard drive.
We all know by now that Lois Lerner’s hard drive crashed in June 2011 and was destroyed by IRS. The emails of up to twenty other related IRS officials were missing in remarkably similar “crashes,” leading many to speculate that Lois Lerner’s Blackberry perhaps held the key. Now, the Observer can confirm that a year after the infamous hard drive crash, the IRS destroyed Ms. Lerner’s Blackberry—and without making any effort to retain the emails from it.
Judge Sullivan has had to pry information from the IRS to learn anything about Ms. Lerner’s Blackberry. Now, with these latest revelations, I’m confident he’s not finished.
In two elusive and nebulous sworn declarations, we can glean that Ms. Lerner had two Blackberries. One was issued to her on November 12, 2009. According to a sworn declaration, this is the Blackberry that contained all the emails (both sent and received) that would have been in her “Outlook” and drafts that never were sent from her Blackberry during the relevant time.
With incredible disregard for the law and the Congressional inquiry, the IRS admits that this Blackberry “was removed or wiped clean of any sensitive or proprietary information and removed as scrap for disposal in June 2012.” This is a year after her hard drive “crash” and months after the Congressional inquiry began.
The IRS did not even attempt to retrieve that data. It cavalierly recites: “There is no record of any attempt...

"Whatever they are hiding has to be damning or the administration would have thrown her under the bus a long time ago. - One thing for sure, all this coverup isn’t to protect her."
RICO was designed to close down rackets like this.
Not necessary just heard that Judicial Watch now has gotten DOJ admittibg that back-up emails are available!!!
And he has the power to appoint a Special Prosecutor — outside the DOJ.
Last paragraph:
Don’t be surprised if Judge Sullivan decides it’s time to order production of everything on that Blackberry, issue subpoenas to third party servers including Blackberry for the dates covered by the Blackberry the IRS destroyed, unleash Judge Facciola, allow Judicial Watch more discovery, prohibit the IRS from destroying anything else, and start a list of lawyers who would make a good special prosecutor.
May God bless and keep Judge Sullivan.
Now we are supposed to believe that her Blackberry had a direct connection to the drive on a desktop or laptop in order to see her email traffic?
That isn't the way my fed government Blackberry works. All the email is server based.
Until someone has the courage to INDICT these people, nothing will happen, and things will continue just as they are.
I can’t help but notice the thousands NOT protesting in front of the IRS and the White House about this.
Lerner took her retirement and ran for the exit. This IRS bunch are as brazen as it is possible to get. They oughta check Lerner for tattoos, maybe she had something incriminating inked on her. If she does maybe Obama will have a lamp shade made of her sorry butt.
Shocker? The better word to use in the title would be “predictably”.
Brown. Just a day or two before he was to testify before a House committee.
Most transparently corrupt administration ever.
BTTT
Hold the “we” stuff. The crook in chief didn’t sell me anything.
Stoopit White Peeples...
Nevuh pull their fair share...
A bullet wouldn’t look good...She’d get hit by a car, or have another type of accident..Sudden illness...
I have no doubt, the evidence of the agency targeting individuals and groups goes right into the White House.
Yes they did.
I think tar and feathering, at least, should make a come back.
I do not understand why in the HELL WE THE PEOPLE are letting this
crap continue!!!!!!! 200,000 people armed surrounding the IRS building
in DC should scare the crap out of them!!!!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!!!!
all this coverup isn’t to protect her
Correct.
Its understandable....My 2013 tax filing was accidentally erased
