Former IRS official Lois Lerner had 30 years of experience and knew under the Federal Records Act that she had an obligation to preserve her copies of her emails, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa says, and "she broke some laws."
Investigators will never know if Lerner crashed her own computer, the California Republican told CNN's Candy Crowley on "State of the Union" Sunday, but the fact remains that the computer's hard drive has been destroyed and years worth of emails are gone and there is no documentation to prove they exist.
So far, around 20,000 of the emails have been retrieved through people she sent them out to and Issa said that investigators know from the discovery they got from those emails that Lerner broke regulations.
Lerner, said Issa, sent "1.1 million tax records over to the Department of Justice" many "including inappropriate or actually illegal disclosures, on behalf of conservative groups."
But Issa said nobody on his committee said Lerner deliberately crashed her own computer. Still, she knew the documents needed to be preserve.

According to a Washington DC June 17, 2014 Associated Press story by Stephen Ohlemacher, "On Tuesday, two key lawmakers said the IRS has also lost emails from six additional IRS workers whose computers crashed. Among them was Nikole Flax, who was chief of staff to Lerner's boss, then-deputy commissioner Steven Miller."
Quite a coincidence isn't it? Why are these congressmen pussy footing around? It's time to frog march the swamp critters to hell.
Democrats are Law-Less because Republican “leaders” are BALL-LESS!!!!!
Judicial Watch has been more effective than all the congressional committees in ferreting out corruption. If Republicans really wanted to get to the bottom of this, they’d steer some donors their way.
The sheer, utter arrogance of Lerner, Flax, and Miller (to name but three) is absolutely stunning! These people need to be doing hard prison time. They’ve committed major FELONIES — but to a Democrat it’s just a resume enhancement.
“Lerner Definitely ‘Broke Some Laws’ on Emails”.
And you’re doing WHAT about it? Charges pending? Jail Time? We are waiting.........
I’m as confident that Attorney General Eric Holder will get right on Lois Lerner’s obvious crime as I am that Obama is working to make America more free and prosperous.
CC ate the emails...
Let her sit in jail for a while - it might improve her memory.
