IRS Commissioner John Koskinen testified before the House Oversight and Government Affairs Committee that it would take a long time to retrieve all of the Lois Lerner emails that were subpoenaed, but he never hinted that they had been “lost” in a computer crash or otherwise.
Rep Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) wasn’t buying that excuse then, and he’s posted the YouTube video to prove it.
It’s a flat out lie is what it is.
!
Tell me how, PLEASE!
This supposed “email deletion” means one thing.
The IRS scandal goes all the way to the top!
Trey Gowdy BETTER POUNCE and start the paperwork for CONTEMPT!!!
And if they went so far as to delete all those copies on those other sites, we definitely have a conspiracy to destroy evidence....
execute lois lerner
The New IRS guy testified they use Microsoft office for their email,and they are stored on servers
if they erased them, they are recoverable
It’s kind of like accidentally finding all of those files in Hillary Clinton’s closet. If they were not found accidentally they would be gone forever.
Special committee!
I also feel that the NSA has enough “dirt” on members of the Republican party to prevent any of them to do anything.
The “proof is in the pudding” and can be shown by their inaction to do anything about any scandal we have seen by this administration to date. The only thing we have seen so far has been their mouths moving.....nothing else.
Complete BS by the IRS. Email doesn’t live on your hard drive. Out lives on a mail server that’s backed up and often time archived.
If a computer crash at the IRS results in lost data, the entire IT staff needs to be fired.
If the IRS doesn’t archive email, I’ll eat my hat. You can’t delete those.
Yup. This is like Enron shredding documents.
A coverup...

Left wing politicians in power are literally crime syndicates.

To the contrary, it's pretty obvious that in the case if the Obama IRS Scandal, someone has made the calculation that the punishment for the crimes are going to be much much worse than the punishment for the cover up.
Even a cover up as blatantly in your face as this one is.
That's why they are openly and intentionally hiding or destroying evidence
I’m sure Eric Holder’s DOJ/FBI investigators will be able to find them.

YES THERE IS, It is called “Inherent Contempt” and Congress should have started using their power a long time ago.
I manage IT services for small business clients. It would be impossible that a single PC “crash” would delete exchange/outlook emails, especially, and conveniently, only for two years and only for outbound correspondences. Does not happen. Has never happened in history of computing. And this is for Joe’s Auto Repair. Not the IRS, which uses enterprise servers, mirrored hard drives, fault tolerance, backups, offsite storage (for years). This is absolute BS! Lois Lerner personally deleted these emails from her sent folder. Which is a crime. Even so, the IRS has copies/backups.
