EXPOSED: Department of Justice Shut Down Search For Lois Lerner’s Emails
The Daily Caller ^ | 3/2/15 | Patrick Howley

Posted on 03/02/2015 10:05:24 PM PST by Nachum

The Obama administration’s Department of Justice shut down an attempt to force the Internal Revenue Service to search for Lois Lerner’s missing emails at off-site storage facilities.

The IRS never looked for Lerner’s backup email tapes at the West Virginia storage facility where they were being housed. Treasury deputy inspector general Timothy Camus told Congress that the IRS never asked IT professionals at the New Martinsville, W.V. storage site for the backup tapes. Camus only found the backup tape for Lerner’s missing 2011 emails about two weeks ago.

But the Obama administration knew that emails were stored at off-site facilities, and even shut down a legal request to send somebody to go look for them.

“We said in court that there are off-site servers where all IRS emails are stored,” lawyer Cleta Mitchell told The Daily Caller. Mitchell represents the voter-ID group True the Vote in its lawsuit against the IRS over improper targeting. Shortly after it was revealed last summer that the IRS was missing Lerner’s emails, Mitchell petitioned U.S. District Court Judge Reggie Walton for an independent forensic examiner to be appointed to investigate the missing emails.

Nixon would be appalled. He never thought of stuff like this.

Nixon didn't have a commie media protecting him.

It was reported some time ago she didn’t use government Email accounts for all her official communications.

Don't forget "Richard Windsor", er, I mean Carol Browner. She was the corrupt EPA chief who now heads the Center for American Progress, a leftist, Anti-American, Communist organization. All these bitter, ugly, heinous "empowered" Communist women play the same game. When they finally realize they are too physically unattractive and repulsive to men to participate in the normal roles of nature, they are then weaponized by powerful men who exploit their lack of desirability. But I digress. Apparently having a separate illegal email address where you do your secret business is normal for these criminals.

Actually it was EPA head Lisa Jackson that used the alias “Richard Windsor”. Carol Browner was the former EPA head, who also served as The Magic Negro’s “environmental czar”. Browner is the one who erased and reformatted her hard drive and destroyed tapes AFTER a judge ordered them preserved. She should be doing hard time right now instead of serving at an organization that works to undermine America. It’s getting hard to keep all these ugly, militant women’s crimes straight without a scorecard.

Never in our history has so much corruption occurred under one administration nor has so much corruption ever been endured without a remedy employed.

Never have the presstitutes and politicians employed so much effort attacking those pointing out the crimes of an administration in America.

Barack Obama does not love America.

My thoughts exactly. Seems we have reached a tipping point where the liberal media can no longer ignore breadth and depth of dhimmicrat lies and corruption.

“yet the press was just silent.. .. there not stupid.. the press knows about backup.but played dumb..said nothing”

Sharyl Attkisson’s book, “Stonewalled” explains how it all works.

In over the top liberal Oregon, the Dems have all the power and they have promised more gun control legislation. Various Oregon counties via the Commissioners, the bosses of a county, have passed resolutions ahead of new restrictions, we we not comply! I think so far it is 6-8 counties, I live in one of them, it is awesome!

Oh yes, our Sheriff the one who will be required to enforce these unconstitutional gun restrictions, is a constitutional sheriff, he has told the state control freaks to go pound sand.

Barack Obama does not love America.

Nor do the press or the politicians.

...and as usual Congress will do NOTHING about this, other then squawk a little.

You need to be reminded that these people ALWAYS protect their own. If you are a member of the "Club" you can always expect to be safe from any wrong doing.

It's a scratch my back I'll scratch your back kinda thing.

Nothing but a bunch of criminals running our country. The mafia is envious.
