So, in a coincidence, the email of all relevant IRS employees at all crucial times is "lost"?

My, how convenient.

When Nixon had an 18-minute gap, it was a scandal and for good reason.

Given the enormous destruction of evidence by the IRS, clearly this led to the White House.

This year we take back the Senate, in 2016 we take back the White House...Holder and the Czars will be replaced and then the real investigations and arrests begin.

Maybe Edward Snowden has them. Has anyone bothered to call him?

Even on "Morning Joe" on MSNBC, nobody believes the IRS.

Everybody knows a computer crash doesn't erase email messages, which reside on many servers.

And the odds against SEVEN employees under investigation having computer crashes...

This is the old, "The dog ate my homework" ruse, and it's working just as well as it did back in school for whomever tried it then.
But ZeroBama still thinks he can get away with brazening it out because he is, "The One." By now it should be apparent that it's only the truly duped and deluded Useful Idiots who buy any lie this fool offers.

The hubris of this phony continues to amaze. We are once again reminded of what the ancient Greeks used to say; "Whom the gods would destroy, first they make proud."

If the situation were reversed, and a Republican president were trying this, all the old Useful Idiots who used to post here attacking Bush would be confidently predicting that any minute now the president would be arrested, handcuffed and, "frog marched" out of the White House as they fruitlessly did so many times about other subjects. But they, rats that they are, have mostly abandoned the sinking ship of the Dear Leader.

One thing we can be sure of, there is more to come. With every revelation the administration of the Messiah becomes more and more shaky. It's only a question of time before some lackey decides to save his or her own skin and throws ZeroBama under the bus. John Dean did it to Nixon, who will be ZeroBama's Judas?

The fellow from the IRS couldn't even bring himself to apologize.

He sat there smirking, and surely he knew nobody -- Democrat or Republican -- believed the lies about all of the folks under scrutiny having all their email lost for the relevant timeframe.

Here is what we do know now -- that the White House was indeed involved in political abuse of the IRS.

Otherwise, the IRS would not be telling such obvious lies.

Dudes, yesterday I bought a new computer and the only thing I was dreading was losing all my emails and all my posts on this site by giving up my old computer. I logged on to my new computer today and damn if I still don't have my emails in when I log into my account and my old posts on this site are still there, how can that be???

Maybe the IRS should have bought Lois Lerner a new computer when her old one crashed so she could into her email account?

[RealJustme]

I got to thinking that maybe I'm only able to get my old emails on my new computer because my old computer's hard drive isn't broke and the emails are some how jumping over from the old hard drive to my new one even though they're not connected. So I reformatted the hard drive on my old computer, then smashed it and to insure it never returned threw it in the trash, it's gone forever...oddly I'm still able to get my old emails on the new computer???

It's magic, no other explanation.

Early in April, I decided to get a new desktop computer.

It came with Windows 8, and I dislike that interface for a desktop, but that's another discussion.

My email at Yahoo and Gmail, of course, was web-based and unaffected by the new computer. And I did physically break the hard drive on the old computer for security purposes before recycling it.

With the new desktop, my Yahoo and Gmail were unaffected. Also, I remembered that I still had another email address provided by my Internet service.

So my email was absolutely totally unchanged by the destruction of the hard drive of my prior desktop computer in early April.

And Lerner's email would have been unaffected by her hard drive crashing because government computers are on networks. Yes, a hard drive can fail, but a whole series of servers would have to fail on the sending side, not to mention all the receiving servers, to lose Lerner's email.

So that leaves the IRS almost surely having destroyed evidence.

Now why would they do that? Because the email must have shown that a political attempt to abuse the IRS had taken place, of the sort that Nixon would have faced impeachment for had he not resigned.

[johnforbes]

Ten days after Lerner's boss was told Congress wanted her email, her hard drive "crashed."

Even if it had, email isn't necessarily stored on a hard drive, and the government has all sorts of backup systems.

Nobody believes Koskinen.
