Of course Liar Lerner’s emails were backed up — multiple times in multiple locations. Even the “my dog ate my hard drive” excuse is totally lame as well because all the emails are stored on the email server for at least six months (probably much longer than that) and would have automatically been restored onto the replacement laptop or hard drive that Liar Lerner no doubt received within the same week her hard drive supposedly went terminally soft.
I don’t understand why the committee doesn’t hold her in contempt and slap her behind bars until she sings. I hear that confession is good for the soul and probably would keep her healthier as well (if she tells all, there would be less motivation for the regime to have her breitbarted/fuddied so if she had any sense, she ought to be singing her heart out).
Everything you said about email archiving is true. Most people, unless they’ve been living under a rock, know that email is redundantly stored precisely because of hardware failures etc. The issue is the brazen nature of the lie.
