IRS: So… Our Computer Crashed And Erased All Of Lois Lerner’s Emails
The Daily Caller ^ | 13 Jun 2014 | Patrick Howley

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) claimed Friday that it cannot produce Lois Lerner’s emails to and from the White House and other administration departments due to a supposed computer crash.

The IRS previously agreed to hand over all of the ex-IRS official’s emails from 2009 to 2011 to the House Ways and Means Committee, chaired by Rep. Dave Camp. But the IRS claimed Friday that it has Lerner’s emails to and from other IRS officials but it cannot produce emails to and from the Treasury and Justice Departments, the Federal Election Commission, or Democratic offices.

The IRS’ computer crash may go down in history next to the eighteen and a half minute gap in the Watergate tapes, which was supposedly caused by a mistake by Richard Nixon’s secretary Rose Mary Woods.

“The fact that I am just learning about this, over a year into the investigation, is completely unacceptable and now calls into question the credibility of the IRS’s response to Congressional inquiries,” Camp said in a statement. “There needs to be an immediate investigation and forensic audit by Department of Justice as well as the Inspector General.”

“Just a short time ago, Commissioner Koskinen promised to produce all Lerner documents,” Camp continued. “It appears now that was an empty promise.

Whoops! All the stuff you wanted was lost, and the witnesses all fell down the stairs and died. Oops!

Why doesn’t Obama just put on the Castro fatigues and get it over with?

The Obama admin lies.
We know that the Obama admin lies.
The Obama admin knows that we know that the Obama admin lies.

And the Obama admin doesn’t care.

Instead, because of this loss of documents, we are conveniently left to believe that Lois Lerner acted alone..............Somebody should be going to jail soon.

... Lucky for them though ... the governmental computer system has a lot of redundant backup systems in the event of catastrophic failure ..... Oh wait ... What? Darn ... the intern in charge of activating the important backup systems for the IRS computer records pressed the wrong switch.

Evidence-tampering, another crime to hang on Obama’s lawless, partisan and corrupt Infernal Revenue Service.

We need to find out I. What time period those emails were sent and, when we pay no taxes and get audited, we need to tell the IRS that we sent out payment I. The same timeframe.

Watch the. Spin!

Seriously, when the Marxists have seized control of the IRA it is patriotic not to pay taxes.

Just Lois Lerner's emails.

She has her own dedicated email server with her own dedicated storage with its own dedicated backups.

Only her emails were lost. Nobody else's.

If any citizen tries to use that excuse with the IRS during an audit, they will find themselves broke and in jail.
