The IRS Scandal, Day 679

IRS Logo 2Western Journalism, IG Reports: IRS Now Has All It Needs To Turn Over ‘Lost’ Lerner Emails:

Federal investigators now have the capability to turn over tens of thousands of once-lost Lois Lerner emails.

Last month, Deputy Treasury Inspector General Timothy Camus testified before the House Oversight Committee that it had discovered back-up tapes in a storage facility in West Virginia, which contain over 30,000 Lerner emails. He also stated that at the time, he could not turn over the emails to the committee due to a licensing issue with the company that provides the software needed to match the emails.

The Daily Caller reports that Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz’s office confirmed Monday that the Treasury IG now has the needed software and will be able to provide all the Lerner emails discovered. Chaffetz serves as chair of the House Oversight Committee.

She should have set up her own private email server. No need to worry about pesky offsite backups when you want to delete your messages. No need to destroy your hard drive.

The only problem is premeditation: You have to know far ahead of time that you need foolproof deletion capability. That's why Hillary Clinton is the smartest woman in the world and Lois Lerner isn't.
