I question the timing. Perfectly timed between Obama’s amnesty speeches and
the upcoming Ferguson riots.
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.
At this rate everyone else whose emails were “lost” will be found by 2020
or so. |
