OBAMA ADMINISTRATION’S CLAIM THAT LOIS LERNER’S EMAILS ARE “LOST” IS LUDICROUS (IRS security)
Power Line ^ | 06/16/2014 | JOHN HINDERAKER

---snip--- Further, emails are universally backed up in some other medium, often electronic tape, for long-term storage. Thus, even if an email server is destroyed, or all emails are deleted from a server after a specified length of time, the emails are still recoverable from back-up storage media. The DOJ lawyer whom Scott quoted this morning was correct about this. The IRS, like virtually every other business or government entity, uses such a system. The Agency’s manual on “Managing Electronic Records” has been made public; you can read it here. A few relevant excerpts:

“The only people who don’t want to disclose the truth are people with something to hide.”
Barack Obama, weekly address, Aug 21, 2010

That quote could be used time and time again in all the ongoing investigations.

Put Lois Lerner and Mr. IRS Commissioner in jail until they remember where the e-mails went and who has had them. Squeeze every IT employee, consultant, and “guest” involved in any way with Lerner’s e-mail trail, until somebody spills.

Doesn’t it sound like that Lerner’s “lost” e-mails were not sent through the official system as required by law? Others in this administration have already been caught using “private” accounts to dodge divulging their communications. It would explain how they are not archived. If it can proved that she was using a secret account, that is strong evidence of foreknowledge of wrongdoing. Put Lois Lerner under oath and ask her to identify ALL email accounts she used during the period in question. Pleading the Fifth to that would say it all (as if more was needed).

When do we surround the IRS buildings, padlock the gates and doors with these traitorous bastards inside?

Leave them to starve to death for all I care. These people are complicit of crimes against Americans.

F U B O!

You know what, this explanation is just peachy with Boehner, Issa, and McConnell. This will go nowhere.

Bingo. At minimum.

Body attachments should be issued forthwith.

Lerner and the IRS Commissioner have committed crimes (ie., spoilation of evidence, obstruction of justice, conspiracy, etc.) and are continuing their criminal enterprise.

Stop them. Now.

Youd think they would’ve run this idea by someone in the IT Dept to find out if it was really a feasible claim to make.
That shows how arrogant they are. Look at all the outrageous lies Hillary has spun and she could be the next president.

Yes, but will “Cryin’ John” Boehner call them on it?

Or will the Washington kabuki show go on?

Yes.

Send the US Marshalls to her home and seize her iPhones, iPads, blackberry, personal computers and laptops, quickly.

Confiscate her vehicles and seize the GPS for each.

Evidence is being destroyed as we type.

“Liberals seem to not only lack competence, but also not to know they lack competence. “

The are very good at delaying tactics and very persistent in employing their agenda.
