Gosh....this is the never ending scandal.
House investigators: IRS tech experts say Lerner’s hard drive only 'scratched,' not destroyed
GOP-led Ways and Means Committee investigators, in their quest to recover missing Lerner emails, learned her hard drive was damaged but recoverable by talking to IRS information-technology experts, after the government originally refused to make them available, according to the committee.
In addition, learning that the hard drive was only scratched also raises questions about why the IRS refused to use outside experts to recover the data.
“In fact, in-house professionals at the IRS recommended the agency seek outside assistance in recovering the data,†the committee said Tuesday in a release.
House investigators said they also are trying to determine whether the scratch was accidental or deliberate.
The committee also said a review of internal IRS documents found Lerner’s computer was actually described as “recovered.â€

How do you 'scratch' something that is sealed in a metal enclosure?
This is bullshit.

IRS seeks help destroying another 3,200 hard drives
Days after IRS officials said in a sworn statement that former top agency employee Lois G. Lerner’s computer memory had been wiped clean, the agency put out word to contractors Monday that it needs help to destroy at least another 3,200 hard drives.
The Internal Revenue Service solicitation for “media destruction†services reflects an otherwise routine job to protect sensitive taxpayer information, but it was made while the agency’s record destruction practices remain under a sharp congressional spotlight.
Congressional investigators of the IRS targeting of conservative groups have been hampered by the unexplained destruction of emails and other records of Ms. Lerner, the former head of the IRS tax-exempt division and a central figure in the scandal.

Apparently the IRS just can't leave well enough alone. They're behaving as if they just can't wait to throw each other under the bus. As if that's going to detract from Trey Gowdy and his investigation into Benghazi....

Oh, I know, someone left it in a taxi and the blind driver's seeing eye dog ate it.

Exactly. I can get my emails using any computer.

Beautiful broadside, my friend.
Just one slight point of correction though: especially since this is the IR Frackin' S, those e-mails - by law, mind you - must be on MULTIPLE servers. And they must STAY on those multiple, redundant servers for a whole helluva lot longer than a mere 4 years. IRS chiefs admitting to anything less than that being the situation which actually obtains, are admitting to an explicit, intentional violation of the law for which - if the regime running the show were anything other than the banana republic we have running this circus - he and all subordinates responsible for the maintenance of those records may be held directly, criminally liable.
Multiple, redundant servers.

They found a way to provide some fake emails that exculpate Obama from any wrongdoing.
