IRS: We lost Lerner's Emails.

[24Carat]

Can you say " Pucker Factor " ? I think ya can !

 

[OakRiver]

Well then! That has the potential to be all sorts of interesting

Well, well. Yet another Democrat talking point is pure lie. Buried under the immigration and Ferguson stories is the following:

30,000 missing emails from IRS' Lerner recovered | WashingtonExaminer.com

The e-mail was recovered from backup tapes after they were "deemed lost forever". Hopefully, more of the contents of all of those IRS crashed hard drives will be recovered. Issa has already said that he is looking forward to examining those e-mails.

Certainly that's just coincidence. It's not like they would doc dump when everyone is distracted by something else.

I think I read that the investigators have to turn the data over to the IRS so it can be scrubbed for taxpayer returns before the data can be released to Congress. It makes sense to protect the individual tax records but seems to pose a conflict since the IRS has appeared to have an interest in keeping the data out of the hands of Congress. Is there some mechanism to ensure that incriminating evidence is not scrubbed along with the tax data?

Feel free to correct me if I misunderstood the process (I only read a brief article).

Scrubbing data for privacy is fairly trivial. I've done it many times. However, I doubt that affects Lois Lerner's e-mails. She was the director of the IRS and would not likely have any attached to her e-mails. In fact, if there are any there, that might be a matter of interest for the investigators.

Investigators into IRS scandal may have recovered lost Lois Lerner emails | Fox News

"By law, the IRS would also have to delete information about taxpayers that is considered private before it can be released to the House Oversight panel, which is headed by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif."

​Seems legit...

Yeah that would be like Bill Gates answering the phone when I called the 800 number for Microsoft support. If Lois is touching any taxpayer data it's for the wrong reasons.

To All,

If indeed the Lois Lerner emails have been recovered and I were in the republican house I would darn well want to put an FBI or US Marshall computer geek on overwatch 24/7!

If that is out of line then backup these files in a secured area.

If they exonerate her of any wrongdoing - fine. If they contain information of criminal action let's make certain it IS NOT lost again.

Regards,

Doug

I believe those email have always been available but it took this long to scrub them clean so they can release them.

As it should be.

As it should be.

And rest assured nothing will come of it. She is to well protected. Really sad. She needs to see the inside of a jail cell.

"Potential Criminal Activity" As IRS Straight-Up Lies to Congress and Refuses to Look for Back-Up Tapes for Lois Lerner Emails


"No one will ever believe that both your hard drive and mine crashed within a week..." -Lois Lerner

and a rant by politicalmath:

No one will go to jail for the IRS conspiracy, which proves that bureaucrats are above the law . Lerner LITERALLY said "No one will believe both our hard drives crashed". She thought my liberal friends were smarter than they proved to be. Honestly, I want a ****ing apology from everyone who argued that the IRS was a fake scandal. You have been wrong at every point of this. So much wrongdoing & cover-up has been discovered at the IRS, only the most partisan trash could say "There's no need to press charges"

I disbelieved the "IRS is targeting conservatives" as a conspiracy. It's clear now the IRS is out of ****ing control. Fire them all. No prison time means, IRS officials think they're above the law. They'll do it again w/ cover from a media utterly incurious about the truth. I can't believe my liberal friends aren't furious. The IRS lied to you! Played you as chumps! You swallowed it whole & you're not upset?

If you're alluding to the presentational quality of the video you're right. Otherwise, the link worked for me!

Why isn't she in jail?

Why isn't she in jail?

The jails don't want her either.
