30,000 missing emails from IRS' Lerner recovered
Washington Examiner ^ | November 21, 2014 | Susan Ferrechio

Posted on 11/21/2014 2:03:17 PM PST by CivilWarBrewing

Up to 30,000 missing emails sent by former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner have been recovered by the IRS inspector general, five months after they were deemed lost forever.

The U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) informed congressional staffers from several committees on Friday that the emails were found among hundreds of “disaster recovery tapes” that were used to back up the IRS email system.

“They just said it took them several weeks and some forensic effort to get these emails off these tapes,” a congressional aide told the Washington Examiner.

I’m sure Rep Darrell Issa will be all over it./s

How about ZERO!

these were pulled from backup tapes and will likely be exported mail files in .PST format. If it was easy or routine to modify these, Businesses would have been doing in for years to avoid lawsuits. You cannot simply modify a mail store without leaving a trace, especially when its off of a backup. There will likely be forensics work in place to prevent ANY tampering or even the chance of it appearing tampered.

For forensic work like this, you use a Write blocker, when transferring or examining data.

Suspect the reason it took so long was because they had to destroy damaging emails from the backups before releasing them.

What’s the chance that they “selectively” recovered emails or perhaps even “massaged” them a bit before turning them over?

One way to tell.

If Lerner has disappeared from the face of the earth you'll know the eMails are complete and unexpurgated.

If she is still walking around without a care in the world you'll know they have been edited of anything incriminating.

How long are they going to get away with this? What would Nova say?

TAYA!

Not to mention those emails will have message headers with timestamps, messageids, bytecounts, and thread indexes that would all have to be modified to match any changes made to the messages. I don’t think that bunch of affirmative action union drones is that good.

Lois Lerner in a prison jump suit would do that

It’s not easy massaging 30,000 Emails. That would involves scores of people who would ALL have to keep their mouths shut. Maybe overseas telemarketers? LOL

...and Friday afternoon.

Before Thanksgiving week...

And, most importantly, after the elections. This little kibuki dance may work in our favor. Issa is going to be replaced, the Senate will have a Republican chair and the hearings can move forward with new rigor and with new evidence. Investigating IRS overreach ought to be as popular as shutting down puppy mills and exposing sanitation violations in restaurants. Let the games begin.
