IRS Wanted Lois Lerner Emails To Disappear

Scandal: The IRS canceled a contract with an email storage contractor weeks after Lois Lerner reported lost personal files and before other IRS officials had their hard drives crash as Tea Party-targeting investigations began.

Timing is everything, the saying goes, and sometimes the timing of events is also very curious, as in the case of the lost emails of Lerner and at least six other officials at the very same time the IRS canceled its contract to back up and preserve those emails as required by federal law.

Lerner's computer supposedly crashed in June 2011, an alleged event the IRS concealed from the American public and congressional investigators for two years.

This event, which cannot be verified because her hard drive has since been destroyed and recycled, occurred just 10 days after House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Rep. Dave Camp first wrote a letter asking if the IRS was engaging in targeting of nonprofit groups.

24 hours, unlimited access, and full cooperation and I would have all the emails ready for congress.

Next question is "Who said 'Don't follow the policy.'"? That'll be harder to find, as I'm certain that there's no paper trail.

Nobody in their right mind is going to archive something that makes them look bad even if their is a policy that tells them to do so.

The hard drive excuse for lost emails is just as stupid as the Youtube video blaming for Benghazi. Stupid arrogant liberals.

It didn’t crash. The decision was made to pull her hard drive and destroy it. Same thing with the other people who were in line with the targeting scheme...

[Brown Deer]

and what are the odds that the hard drives of six other people involved would also crash during the same month?

I don’t believe anything Koskinen says

Really? I believe that he was truthful when he said under oath that he could not recall who told him about the lost LL emails.

It was probably when he was leaving the parking garage at the IRS offices and some IT flunkie yelled at him: "Hey D-Head, we can't find LL's emails.".

I could imagine he wrenched his head around in an attempt to see who informed him of the loss, but alas, he could not locate the informer...

Yeah, that could have happened...

[Delta Dawn]

Dog gone ate...

Hate when that happens...

[smoothsailing]

LOL.

There is one thing Koskinen said that was truthful on his part.

When he told Rep. Dave Camp “I don’t believe an apology is owed”, in response to Camp telling him he didn’t hear an apology in his opening statement Friday night, he was telling the truth as far as he was concerned. He is just that arrogant.

"Obama says these are not the emails you are looking for."

"The disc drives were crashed and there are no tapes."

"The IRS can go about it's business."

"This hearing is adjourned!" "Move along........"

[boycott]

You think government cares about our confidence?

They will one day.

We need some rich Conservative to offer 100 K to the first person who whistleblows on Lerner....and discloses Her Emails

and ask yourself....

which was worse? this scandal or Nixons?

I say it was this one. far more insidious and damaging to America as a whole.

Obama must be Impeached Now!
