Amazing, Lerner's Lost Emails Have Been Found

But the Senate under Democrats already looked into this and a host of other scandals and has determined that nothing improper had occurred.
 
And soon we'll prove that nothing bad happened and you'll still feel silly.

that seems the very most logical outcome, given that fear of what is in them led to months of stonewalling and obfuscation. Sometimes where there is smoke there is no fire, but this was pretty smoky

I wont bet that anyone will be punished for anything they did, but I will bet that no matter how egregious an offense is found it will be decided by every single left leaning poster on this board to be nothing.

Hey now that the elections are over, didja see the House Republicans released their final report on But...But..Benghazi? Seems that there was no wrongdoing after all. whoopsie. Except for Congress turnin' down funds for security, of course. LINK

I am sure Vetty, with his Sacred Marine Honor, will be here shortly and admit he was wrong about Benghazi. Don't you?
 
You failed to mention the House Special Committee on Benghazi is still in session with much more powerful tools.

"much more powerful tools"? Perhaps you explain what tools this house committee has that the Intelligence committed doesn't? It'd seem to me that the intelligence committee would have the soooperior tools, owing to their higher security clearances.

Or,alternatively, you could admit you were just lying once again.

In any event folks, notice how the coward refuses to even acknowledge the House Intel committee's findings....because they didn't agree with his preconceived political bias. Can you say "epistemic closure"?

Sing it, Vetty! "La la la la I can't heeeeeeear you!" :rolleyes:
 
Closing out a now-redundant committee that was stonewalled by the administration by referring intelligence to matters in the purview of other committees was a smart move.

So far the administration has been able to hold off actual discovery of pertinent details by the practice of saying "not it" at each committee. When the overarching committee can get any and everyone in the same room in front of the same cameras the finger-point and bob-style deflection will be entertaining.

I guess the intel committee, for example, didn't see the recently forced prduction email proving that Atkisson was targeted for suppression. Be interesting to see what agency the proprietary software found on her computer came from. Maybe they can re-convene over that abuse.
 
The IRS looked at it too and deemed that nothing had happened.

Alright y then, that's all settled then.

Begs the question. If the IRS COULD get the emails why did they not know of their competence forensically, and if they did know, but it would take time why did the IRS close out its investigation before the emails were salvaged?
 
You're begging not only for an audit, but a visit from the EPA.

;)

You better make sure that you have no standing water on your property. Ever.
 
Alright y then, that's all settled then.

Damn straight!
Internal investigation is the gold standard as far as I'm concerned.

The lack of prosecutions proves that there was never any election fraud in Chicago, Philadelphia, or Milwaukee.

The lack of prosecutions prove that there was never any civil rights violations in the 1950s and early 60s.

The fact that Nixon looked into things and assured everyone that he was not a crook proved as much.

The fact that no attorney general has ever prosecuted the president who appointed him proves that presidents never break the law.

What other possible explanation could there be?
 
Amazing what an election will accomplish, now that the Senate has changed hands, and McConnell has said hearings would be held on the IRS:


30,000 missing emails from IRS' Lerner recovered
BY SUSAN FERRECHIO | NOVEMBER 21, 2014 | 4:36 PM

Up to 30,000 missing emails sent by former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner have been recovered by the IRS inspector general, five months after they were deemed lost forever.

The U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) informed congressional staffers from several committees on Friday that the emails were found among hundreds of “disaster recovery tapes” that were used to back up the IRS email system.

“They just said it took them several weeks and some forensic effort to get these emails off these tapes,” a congressional aide told the Washington Examiner.

Committees in the House and Senate are seeking the emails, which they believe could show Lerner was working in concert with Obama administration officials to target conservative and Tea Party groups seeking tax-exempt status before the 2012 presidential election.

The missing emails extend from 2009 to 2011, a period when Lerner headed the IRS’s exempt-organizations division. The emails were lost when Lerner’s computer crashed, IRS officials said earlier this year.

In June, IRS Administrator John Koskinen told Congress the emails were probably lost for good because the disaster recovery tape holds onto the data for only six months. He said even if the IRS had sought the emails within the six-month period, it would have been a complicated and difficult process to produce them from the tapes.

The IRS also lost the emails of several other employees who worked under Lerner during that period.

Lerner, who retired from the IRS, has refused to be questioned by Congress.

She provided a statement at a March hearing, but then clammed up, following the advice of her lawyer to avoid self-incrimination.

The House, led by Republicans, voted in May to hold Lerner in contempt of Congress.

Congressional aides said officials from the inspector general’s office said it could take weeks to get the recovered emails off the tape before sending them to lawmakers in Capitol Hill.



In all, investigators from the inspector general’s office combed through 744 disaster recovery tapes. They are not finished looking.

There are 250 million emails ion the tapes that will be reviewed. Officials said it is likely they will find missing emails from other IRS officials who worked under Lerner and who said they suffered computer crashes.

Investigators said the emails could include some overlapping information because it is not clear how many of them are duplicates or were already produced by Lerner to the congressional committees.

Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee he chairs will be one of the committees that will examine the emails.

“Though it is unclear whether TIGTA has found all of the missing Lois Lerner e-mails, there may be significant information in this discovery,” Issa told the Examiner. “The Oversight Committee will be looking for information about her mindset and who she was communicating with outside the IRS during a critical period of time when the IRS was targeting conservative groups. This discovery also underscores the lack of cooperation Congress has received from the IRS. The agency first failed to disclose the loss to Congress and then tried to declare Lerner’s e-mails gone and lost forever. Once again it appears the IRS hasn’t been straight with Congress and the American people.”
