Lois Lerner's Hard Drive "Crashed" Ten Days After House Ways & Means Chairman Made First Inquiry

The timing is not merely suspicious, it is damning.

[T]he alleged disappearance of Ms. Lerner's hard drive—and the fact that the missing conversations are those the former IRS director had with people outside the IRS—has suddenly resurrected, with force, the explosive possibility that she was chatting with Democrats who mattered.

There's plenty of reason to believe she was. Just last week Congress discovered (via a subpoena to the Justice Department) emails showing that Ms. Lerner had conversations with Justice prosecutors about investigating conservative nonprofits. Who else in the Obama administration was Ms. Lerner talking to?

I'm omitting all of the correspondence between Lerner and Congressional Democrats -- but check the piece to refresh your memory.

Here's the chronology of this "crash:"

I’ll up you one, they should be sent to prison to rot. They were public servants and they abused their authority. Her husband should be arrested and not allowed to interfere with this case.

Dick Durbin’s name was brought up in the hearing. So many of the dems, I believe, were in cahoots with Lerner and Hussein.

If ever there needed to be a special prosecuter this is the time. Charge them all with Obstruction, for starters.

Everybody with any IT sense at all knows the emails and any other files were backed up somewhere. This whole thing seriously fails the smell test.

[GeronL]

I don’t understand why anyone needs to be told that this is suspicious

[Jet Jaguar]

Bump

[tumblindice]

WE heard she destroyed evidence, and she's already in the Comfy chair. Oh well.

[Moorings]

The most blatantly corrupt and lawless admin ever. Liberals must be proud that this is their legacy.

No, let it drag on into the fall - Aug., Sept, Oct. and peak in early Nov. Drip, this one out into spring peak it in mid-April 2015, then ride it on down as say goodbye IRS after a new Pres. is sworn in Jan. 2017.

[Old Yeller]

The most blatantly corrupt and lawless admin ever. Liberals must be proud that this is their legacy.

Your typical liberal idiot on the street doesn't even know this is going on.

[JennysCool]

Admitting defeat just as the going is getting good isn’t very logical.

[wastedyears]

It took them that long to come up with that excuse? You mean to tell me she didn’t have 3 different backups?

Anything coming out of this administration is like trying to make sense of a baby’s babblings.

[HotHunt]

Obama, Holder and the rest of the Obama administration would be considered a Continuing Criminal Enterprise if they were dragged in front of a court for the multiple crimes they have committed in their official capacities for the federal government.

Stuff happens

Yeah, and Nixon’s secretary accidentally stepped on that remote switch while answering the phone and erased some of the tape she was transcribing just about the time Watergate started hitting the papers.....

[Carry_Okie]

Where is the equivalent of a Judge John Sirica when you REALLY need one?

[Graewoulf]

BINGO!
