This could all be getting really good, really soon.

U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan Thursday ordered the Internal Revenue Service to come up with new answers after IRS employees contradicted sworn testimony about damage to Lois Lerner’s hard drive.
Sullivan ruled that “the IRS is hereby ORDERED to file a sworn Declaration, by an official with the authority to speak under oath for the Agency, by no later than August 22, 2014″ on four issues: the IRS’ attempted recovery of Lerner’s lost emails after her computer allegedly crashed, bar codes that could have been on the hard drive, IRS policies on hard drive destruction, and information about an outside vendor who worked on IRS hard drives.
Recent documents from nonprofit group Judicial Watch’s Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the IRS, which Sullivan is presiding over, showed that IRS technology officials contradicted sworn testimony about damage to Lerner’s hard drive.

Oddly, on my government computer, I was able to have our IT guys retrieve an email a week after I deleted it.
I’m pretty sure government emails are archived somewhere.
The hard drive where that particular paragraph was stored experienced a crash, and the four sentences you are looking for are now impossible to recover.
And it sounds like this judge has had enough......
I can’t say this is any more than speculation, but does any one find it odd that the Post Office is reporting a 2 billion loss in the first quarter?
Could this administration be transferring funds from one entity to another? Using the money to continue to obfuscate?
That may be true for you, but it is not necessarily the case for everyone. It depends upon the email client you use and its configuration.
I use several different email clients, some of which are web-based and some of which use POP or IMAP configurations. The POP client, through my choice, is set-up so that the mail is DOWNLOADED to the local machine on which the client is run, and DELETED from the server. This means that I cannot go to any computer, anywhere or a smart phone and read the messages that have already been downloaded & deleted.
In most cases, I can access my email account from another computer or smart-phone via a browser-based email interface, but email previously downloaded and deleted from the server will not be available in the mailbox. No-can-do. Simple as that.
This, of course, doesn't address situations where the client is configured to leave a copy on the server, or the possibility of retrieving messages from a backup tape.
And, of course, it has nothing to do with Lerner and the IRS, which almost certainly was bound-by-law to have backups. It's only meant to illustrate that there are many variables involved, and your situation isn't necessarily pertinent to the way someone else's email handling systems operate.
I’d rather the Judge declare that if the IRS refuses to obey the law, he sees no reason Americans have to obey the IRS and declare a tax holiday until the IRS complies.
He’d never do it, but still, it’s a nice thought.
You mean officials appointed by and serving at the leisure of the regime.. Lied??
I’m shocked. Just shocked!! Not.
Oh but if he did... the people would crown him king.
Well said...
It only gets better when we end the IRS.
he would never pick up a tab around me!
Any country that isn’t godly will end up in the same kind of morass. Huge taxing bureaucracy.
Finally an order mentioning mobile devices.
Her BlackBerry is not on Herr hard drive, it immediately implies server access.
Lois is gonna be gone for a long time!
And to perjure themselves further.
This could all be getting really good, really soon.
FReegards!
!
It’ll take a while but they’re gonna get Lois...
I imagine an IRS bathroom attendant will get a citation in 2045 at the rate this is going.
If they don’t comply I’m pretty sure they get bonuses. ..
Your observation is why crimes committed by public officials should be automatically raised to a capital offence.
Imagine a court clerk facing a firing squad for pocketing a fifty dollar fine. We'd either have more honest public servants, or MUCH more clever thieves.
