Disgraced ex-IRS official Lois Lerner actually printed out some of her missing emails, according to a statement by her attorney.
Lerner’s lawyer Bill Taylor initially claimed that Lerner did not print out and file her emails, as the Federal Records Act required her to do, before they allegedly went missing in a 2011 computer crash and her hard drive was “recycled” by the IRS. Taylor also claimed that Lerner “did not think it was required,” despite clear instructions for employees on the IRS website. But now the story is changing.
Taylor told a Virginia-based publication Wednesday that Lerner printed out “some” of her emails.
“During her tenure as Director of Exempt Organizations, she did print out some emails, although not every one of the thousands she sent and received,” Taylor said.
The “computer crash” episode, in which the IRS has claimed that seven different employees in Washington, D.C. and Cincinnati experienced email-destroying computer crashes, has riled Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill, but there may be new hope that the emails could see the light of day.
Judge Emmit Sullivan will rule Thursday in U.S. District Court as to whether the independent group Judicial Watch can obtain Lerner’s emails under a Freedom of Information Act request that the IRS has stonewalled. Judicial Watch told The Daily Caller that there are numerous possible decisions Sullivan could make, ranging from ordering the IRS to release the emails to merely asking the scandal-plagued agency for further information about its email-restoring programs.
Congressional investigators will be watching Thursday’s ruling closely.

And why is her attorney providing this information to a "Virginia-based publication" and not the House committee or one of the courts looking into the matter?
“Ummmm, the dog ate my homework, and then he threw up some of the homework he ate, and I found it.”
Bargaining chips, just trying to ascertain their value.
I fear that once we are all digital, history can be changed by the click of a Tyrants mouse button. Of course Sandy Burgler showed you can do that already, however it is much harder to get all the copies of anything when paper is involved.
Outstanding observations.
I predict she will “find” emails of the non-incriminating type.
Congress needs to gather up the capital police and Raid the IRS like a storm.

If IRS heats up, wouldn’t put it past BO and the DNC to sacrifice Lerner to the full extent of the law. Just to shut us up, & so they can “claim” they did something.
Plus, to protect the Effer-in -Chief....
We'll all be watching.
