Up to 30,000 missing emails sent by former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner have been recovered by the IRS inspector general, five months after they were deemed lost forever.
The U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) informed congressional staffers from several committees on Friday that the emails were found among hundreds of disaster recovery tapes that were used to back up the IRS email system.
They just said it took them several weeks and some forensic effort to get these emails off these tapes, a congressional aide told the Washington Examiner.

I’m sure Rep Darrell Issa will be all over it./s
ANything Short of Removing the Leadership in Both Houses of Congress will FAIL. The Fix is in, all the deals have already been made, everything you see now is posturing.
How about ZERO!
these were pulled from backup tapes and will likely be exported mail files in .PST format. If it was easy or routine to modify these, Businesses would have been doing in for years to avoid lawsuits. You cannot simply modify a mail store without leaving a trace, especially when its off of a backup. There will likely be forensics work in place to prevent ANY tampering or even the chance of it appearing tampered.
For forensic work like this, you use a Write blocker, when transferring or examining data.
Issa must be smiling!
Suspect the reason it took so long was because they had to destroy damaging emails from the backups before releasing them.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
One way to tell.
If Lerner has disappeared from the face of the earth you'll know the eMails are complete and unexpurgated.
If she is still walking around without a care in the world you'll know they have been edited of anything incriminating.
TAYA!
That was helpful info. Thanks.
Not to mention those emails will have message headers with timestamps, messageids, bytecounts, and thread indexes that would all have to be modified to match any changes made to the messages. I don’t think that bunch of affirmative action union drones is that good.
{Probably just discussing what is for lunch...
Lois Lerner in a prison jump suit would do that
Thank you both for your input.
Exactly right! “We found them so we could, ahem, modify them, hee, hee.”
and a HUGE thanks to mark levin for getting thisig investigation started - otherwise, we would not know about these little hitlers in the irs
It’s amazing what you can find if you actually look for it.
It’s not easy massaging 30,000 Emails. That would involves scores of people who would ALL have to keep their mouths shut. Maybe overseas telemarketers? LOL
Before Thanksgiving week...
And, most importantly, after the elections. This little kibuki dance may work in our favor. Issa is going to be replaced, the Senate will have a Republican chair and the hearings can move forward with new rigor and with new evidence. Investigating IRS overreach ought to be as popular as shutting down puppy mills and exposing sanitation violations in restaurants. Let the games begin.
I watched planet of the apes as a young boy and that woman made my boy parts all tingly. LOL
Friday document dump?
Good. Let’s see what she’s been hiding
