Who couldn't have predicted that news was the next thing for the IRS to announce? It's about as surprising ad the sun coming up in the morning.

Report: Lois Lerner's Hard Drive Has Been "Thrown Away" - Katie Pavlich

According to a report published late last night in POLITICO, the hard drive belonging to Lois Lerner where the IRS claims her emails to outside agencies and groups like the White House, Department of Justice, FEC, Democrat members of Congress, etc. were stored has been...destroyed.

Ex-IRS official Lois Lerner’s crashed hard drive has been recycled, making it likely the lost emails of the lightening rod in the tea party targeting controversy will never be found, according to multiple sources.

“We’ve been informed that the hard drive has been thrown away,” Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, the top Republican on the Finance Committee, said in a brief hallway interview.​

It must pain dems to realize Chris Christie and the NYNJPA were FAR more transparent and cooperative when it comes to release of documents than the White House and the IRS are.

Dems would be clamoring for Christie's and any NYNNJPA person who claimed their hard drives were destroyed. IRS people? eh they get a pass.

 

[Pennywise]

Hang the ****.

 

[Darkwind]

emails are not just typed and stored on a single hard drive.

THEY GO PLACES!

Confiscate every hard drive at the IRS, the email server too.

IF these emails are not found, she needs to do 8 to 12 years (hard labor) for tampering with evidence and destruction of government property.

 

[Ibentoken]

I think it's time to cavity search the hosebeast.

 

[Moonglow]

It is not uncommon for those leaving office to destroy hard drives, even at the state level..

 

[Travis007]

this is a disgrace...

 

[Pennywise]

It is not uncommon for those leaving office to destroy hard drives, even at the state level..

So if I break the law, I can just quit my job and destroy all the evidence and skate.

I didn't think you were quite this stupid.

 

[Darkwind]

The law requires emails to be kept for a specific amount of time. Plus, she wasn't leaving UNTIL this scandal broke. IT would be a criminal act to destroy a hard drive that had not had its contents archived.

Report: Lois Lerner's Hard Drive Has Been "Thrown Away"

That's their story, and they're sticking to it.

Of course, the Democrats are carefully NOT mentioning the email servers and other systems that would also contain the emails, and the backups of those systems they they are required to keep by law.

The fact that they are sticking to such obvious lies ("Emails are gone forever, and it was all an accident") just indicates that there was something VERY important in them, something that the Democrats are desperate to conceal.

I have no doubt that the emails really are gone forever. And I am equally sure it was no accident.

Have the leftist fanatics explained yet, how six other people's emails from the same period, could have vanished when Lois Lerner's desktop computer crashed?

Ex-IRS official Lois Lerner’s crashed hard drive has been recycled, making it likely the lost emails of the lightening rod in the tea party targeting controversy will never be found, according to multiple sources.

“We’ve been informed that the hard drive has been thrown away,” Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, the top Republican on the Finance Committee, said in a brief hallway interview.

Two additional sources told POLITICO the same late Wednesday, citing IRS officials.

It may just be standard government procedure, but the revelation is significant because some lawmakers and observers thought there was a way that tech experts could revive Lerner’s emails after they were washed away in a computer crash in the summer of 2011. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), for example, subpoenaed her damaged hard drive earlier this week, when he asked for “all hard drives, external drives, thumb drives and computers” and “all electronic communication devices the IRS issued to Lois G. Lerner.”

“IT experts have weighed in and said yes — we can get those” emails, said Rep. Charles Boustany (R-La.) earlier Wednesday.

The latest news suggests such professionals may never get the chance to try again — and the IRS has even said its criminal investigators who specialize in rebuilding hard drives to recover hidden information from criminals were unable to restore the data back in 2011.

Even when they are being investigated?

 

[depotoo]

Amazing the other 6 she corresponded with and they asked for just happened to crash as well...

 

[Katzndogz]

The recipients still have the emails. The white house has them. The DOJ has them. Every person she sent an email to has that email.

They are on some server out there. Just getting cooperation at this point is gonna be less than easy. As an it professional stated, it will probably be just after Nov. 2016, before we know anything, though, very conveniently.

 

[Sallow]

Cool.

So now Darrell "The Crimeboss" Issa can arrest her..and lock her somewhere in congress or something.

It's not my job to make SOP, but thank you...

 

[ShootSpeeders]

So every time your computer crashes, the hard drive is rendered useless and must be tossed?

Along with all the hard drives and backups from all the email servers that also contained your emails?

It wouldn't even take that much. Just subpeona from the White House, the Justice Department, the FBI, etc, every email they received from Lerner and any other person of interest during the time frame in question. They could retrieve them in a matter of 3 weeks, tops.

Of course, the best place to get these would be from the NSA. They likely have every email ever sent within the government.

The point is, pretending these emails can't be retrieved is STUPID!!!

 

[ShootSpeeders]

Is it lois lerner or lawless lerner.? This is incredible and still the pc-press won't mention it. We have never before had a president so protected by the news media.
