As many as 30,000 lost emails from Lois Lerner -- the ex-IRS official at the center of the agency's targeting scandal -- have been recovered by federal investigators.

> All talk of “decoding” is nonsense.
Not necessarily. Since these are IRS business emails they have to get scrubbed of any taxpayer information that can’t be lawfully disclosed. That alone is a pretty good time suck.
You do not have to be very tech savvy, there is not much to it. I don’t know specifically about the IRS but if you are using a DoD computer, encrypting your email is very easy using your CAC. I believe that it is an option with any gubmint computer.
Congress should DEMAND a chain of custody of the emails from discovery until final delivery. They should demand the full names of all persons who ‘touched’ or reviewed them, or recommended them. They should all be advised of their rights and responsibilities in a direct session/panel of Congress IMMEDIATELY, and advised of the penalties for violation of the law.
“The federal investigators are from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, which audits the IRS.”
So this is coming from within thE IRS. It’s so nice when you can investigate yourself.
"I don't know how I could have been so careless," said Hiram Zetz, an aid to Holder. "Cracker is usually no trouble at all, except when he sees a member of the Tea Party."
Breaking...
Bet the shriveled up old hag gets away with her crime and the perpetrator in chief is never brought to justice?
18 1/2 minutes part two.
But we're not talking about publishing the raw stuff in the NYT.
Government officials with a need to know will have to look at these emails. They are looking for Lerner's malfeasance, but the idea that the emails should be "scrubbed" before those investigators have a look should send up red flags.
And if they say "decoded" when they mean "scrubbed", it should also send up a red flag. The whole thing is worrisome.
“What you dont want to do is corrupt the pst file, and I think thats why they are going real slow.”
Well good grief, make ten copies of the damn file before analysis.
Where government agents really and seriously want to recover so-called “corrupted” data, it is a no-brainer.
There.
Fixed it for you.
It's also good practice to test the backup system frequently.
Working around safety systems, I learned the principle that you don't want to learn that your safety system has failed by having it fail to respond to a dangerous situation.
The solution to this problem is to test the system frequently to verify that it is operating. If you test the system 10 times more frequently than you have real issues, then you increase the probability that you will discover a safety system failure without allowing a dangerous situation.
The same principle applies to computer backups. If you never test them, you will always detect a backup system problem by being unable to provide a backup.
You're kidding, right? The toothpaste is out of the tube.
Just check with the DNC. They already have copies of all the taxpayers' personal information.
As well as all the Enemies of the Tea party, including Planned Parenthood, all GLBT activist groups and Obama-created web sites, PACs etc.
They had these emails the second they knew they’d be asked for them, no matter what anyone says.
What’s taken so long has been the combing through them all, removing the bad stuff, making sure timelines and discussions between people seem coherent and continuous.
All Kibuki theater for all us stupid, knuckle-dragging conservatives.
There will be a few that raise eyebrows (for theatric effect), but nothing will come of it. NOTHING.......
