"Decoding" must mean scrubbing.
Because backup tapes are not encrypted -- or, if they are, it's a simple operation to decrypt.
All talk of "decoding" is nonsense.

Exactly. Worth repeating.

Don’t get your hopes up. It will take IRS lawyers many months to review the emails. Did anyone look at this week’s batch of Fast and Furious documents pried loose by Judicial Watch? Many, many pages of redactions. That’s what government lawyers do.

Even before you get into bogus executive privilege claims or outright shenanigans supporting political coverups, those emails could contain private taxpayer info and no judge would disallow an IRS request for an internal review prior to turning them over.

Political operatives and IRS lawyers (but I repeat myself), have calculated yesterday’s release would allow enough delay to get past November 2016.
