Before this is over there will be a lot of lost emails and computer crashes from the WH to the IRS to the DOJ.
Busted!
This needs to get to Issa & he needs to subpoena Sonasoft’s archive of IRS email!
Bump
Koskinen was not forthcoming about this.
“I don’t think an apology is owed” says Koskinen. You’re right, you owe jail time Koskinen.
The great part about a conspiracy rap is the time involved. The conspirators are all involved in a “continuing offense” until they affirmatively leave the conspiracy by “making a clean breast to the authorities or communicating his or her disassociation to the other conspirators.” Subpoenas all around.

Statute of Limitations for Conspiracy
Conspiracy is a continuing offense. For statutes such as 18 U.S.C. § 371, which require an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy, the statute of limitations begins to run on the date of the last overt act. See Fiswick v. United States, 329 U.S. 211 (1946); United States v. Butler, 792 F.2d 1528 (11th Cir. 1986). For conspiracy statutes which do not require proof of an overt act, such as RICO (18 U.S.C. § 1961) or 21 U.S.C. § 846, the government must allege and prove that the conspiracy continued into the limitations period. The crucial question in this regard is the scope of the conspiratorial agreement, and the conspiracy is deemed to continue until its purpose has been achieved or abandoned. See United States v. Northern Imp. Co., 814 F.2d 540 (8th Cir. 1987); United States v. Coia, 719 F.2d 1120 (11th Cir. 1983), cert. denied, 466 U.S. 973 (1984).
An individual’s “withdrawal” from a conspiracy starts the statute of limitations running as to that individual. “Withdrawal” from a conspiracy for this purpose means that the conspirator must take affirmative action by making a clean breast to the authorities or communicating his or her disassociation to the other conspirators. See United States v. Gonzalez, 797 F.2d 915 (10th Cir. 1986).

If these people say they lost the IRS E-mails then they will be out of business. OTOH, if they did their job, then all the e-mails are sitting in their servers.
At this point they appear to be keeping their mouths shut. Unless they were told to destroy them, then they are there. Every last one of them. And if they were told to destroy them, then it it SHTF time.
Fox and Friends just mentioned this in the show opening headline.
As a federal employee I know for a fact that there are digital copies on an email server somewhere. Emails go from the computer, to the email server, then to the recipient. That email server keeps copies of them. So even though the hard drives have been destroyed, there are copies on the IRS email server. Those hard drives CAN’T be destroyed.
