The IRS filing in federal Judge Emmet Sullivan’s court reveals shocking new information. The IRS destroyed Lerner’s Blackberry AFTER it knew her computer had crashed and after a Congressional inquiry was well underway. As an IRS official declared under the penalty of perjury, the destroyed Blackberry would have contained the same emails (both sent and received) as Lois Lerner’s hard drive.
We all know by now that Lois Lerner’s hard drive crashed in June 2011 and was destroyed by IRS. The emails of up to twenty other related IRS officials were missing in remarkably similar “crashes,” leading many to speculate that Lois Lerner’s Blackberry perhaps held the key. Now, the Observer can confirm that a year after the infamous hard drive crash, the IRS destroyed Ms. Lerner’s Blackberry—and without making any effort to retain the emails from it.
Judge Sullivan has had to pry information from the IRS to learn anything about Ms. Lerner’s Blackberry. Now, with these latest revelations, I’m confident he’s not finished.
In two elusive and nebulous sworn declarations, we can glean that Ms. Lerner had two Blackberries. One was issued to her on November 12, 2009. According to a sworn declaration, this is the Blackberry that contained all the emails (both sent and received) that would have been in her “Outlook” and drafts that never were sent from her Blackberry during the relevant time.
With incredible disregard for the law and the Congressional inquiry, the IRS admits that this Blackberry “was removed or wiped clean of any sensitive or proprietary information and removed as scrap for disposal in June 2012.” This is a year after her hard drive “crash” and months after the Congressional inquiry began.
The IRS did not even attempt to retrieve that data. It cavalierly recites: “There is no record of any attempt...

destruction of evidence and all that in the least
This story can be summed up as follows: Barack Obama, Lois Lerner and the entire IRS are sneering at all of us and giving us the finger.
Yes, they should all be in jail, and they would be in a free society with a representative form of government and the rule of law.
Where is Rosemary Woods when you need her?
Uh, - - - - if said Blackberry was Government Property the LL would be guilty of destruction of Government Property, destroying evidence, and obstructing Justice.
Clinton's staff only removed all the W's from the typewriter keyboards.
You have a child like intellect.
It’s sweet to see that kind fresh naivete. ..
LOL
Seriously, I give up. These slugs have broken so many damned laws and it seems like they all have extraordinary sovereign immunity.
Ain’t nuthin gonna happen.
And what are you going to do about it? Latest outrage not covered be media, no big deal. Impotent judge?
With Eric (do you know I’m black) Holder as Attorney General, the man in charge of the Department of Justice, nothing will happen here.... nothing!

I cannot help but wonder IF there was any discussion of what to do with the evidence, or if one person unilaterally deep sized it?
They have made themselves above the law because the whole bureaucracy is stacked full of corrupt people just like themselves from top to bottom.
Lois Lerner had better keep one eye open. The Obamanistas are going to great lengths to cover their tracks. If it ever looks like Lois will spill the beans the thugs in the White Hut will erase her brains with a bullet.
I tell yuh. I’m about ready to throw in the towel, stop reading or listening to the news, involve myself in more important things and just pull the lever for any “R” on the ballot.
Felonious
“Everyone involved should be imprisoned.”
The French had a better idea back in the late 1700’s.
“Is she STILL gainfully employed at the IRS? “
Never fear my darling, the old bat is retired, so now we are paying her a princely sum to sit on her butt.
But I’ll be happy to pony up for her jailer.
Now if Nixon had done that, they would’ve strung him up.
