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...

Sullivan must have been presented copies of the email DRAFTS - biggest part, commiques not sent, new territory - for them to be squirming and dragging this out like they are.
I think saving drafts of emails and sharing login info so certain parties can keep abreast of the targeting of conservatives is RICO territory, maybe? Avoiding the actual sending of the emails, but acting on the info in the drafts. Subverting open records acts, maybe.
No, it would be a heart attack which is not that difficult to induce with the proper chemistry which is known to most intelligence agencies.
Big No no where I work.
USAF.
Sharing of passwords is firing offense in private sector.
That’s what Lisa Jackson was doing with her Richard Windsor bit: sharing info via drafts.
Yep.
E-mail drafts are also a method of secure communications. Recall that Gen Petraeus and his squeeze were using this technique.
Essentially, two or more parties would have access to a single e-mail account. Party A would address a draft to Party B...which Party B could then read and respond to with another draft...but neither the original draft or the response would ever be actually transmitted via the internet.
Is it possible that Lerner and her co-conspirators (or her director) were communicating in this fashion -- so as not to create a trail on the internet?
Yes, I'd say it's quite possible...
Obama famously, “Not even a smigin!”
The Ferguson Circus is supposed to divert our attention away from this and the Bergdahl GOA report.
Pray for Judge Sullivan.
“Blackberry, Blackberry...hmm...Blackberry? Do I know what that is? I own one, you say? Hmmm. Hmmm. I own a black...berry...Hmm. I think...it...was...destroyed! Yes. My “black berry” was destroyed in a garbage disposal accident. Yep. Fell out of my hand, through six inches of water, down the drain and into the disposal. Crunch, crunch, crunch. Grind, grind, grind. Completely shredded. Nothing remained. All the little gears and wires and gizmos vanished. Terrible loss. Terrible.”
I remember when President Laser Beam said similar things long before President Peace Prize ever repeated them. It's congenital within that party.
Not that Party R is without stain, either. "Read my lips" is still one of the classics. Their examples are not quite as wonton nor as brazen as Party D's, but that one was a doozy.
I have a pen and a blackberry
Add Forbes to the list (22 minutes ago)
Perry gets indicted, arrested, finger printed and mugshots taken for cutting the budget to someone he wanted to resign due to gross negligence
members of the IRS blatantly break the law ... and nothing happens
no indictments
no arrests
no finger prints
nothing
explain to me again why i should have faith in our ‘country of laws’... sure seems the left doers whatever the hell it pleases, regardless of the law
Nothing will come of this.
Lener retired from the IRS.
Is the IRS subject to RICO?
“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.”
I’d bet she not only knows where the bodies are buried and who cheated on their taxes, but where all that money went....trillions of dollars...and has fail-safe copies in the right hands.
