Even More of Lois Lerner’s Emails Recovered: “No One Will Ever Believe That Both Your Hard Drive and Mine Crashed Within a Week”

Even More of Lois Lerner’s Emails Recovered: “No One Will Ever Believe That Both Your Hard Drive and Mine Crashed Within a Week”

Perhaps the most galling aspect of the IRS scandal is that the Obama IRS has actually assumed that Americans would, for a moment, buy their pack of lies as mere coincidences. The Blaze reports that The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is currently digging-into the “lost” (read: hidden) emails by disgraced IRS chief Lois Lerner and that they make for some very interesting reading.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee announced on Thursday night that hundreds of former IRS official Lois Lerner’s previously “lost” backup tapes have been recovered, which could result in the recovery of a new trove of her emails.

IRS Deputy Inspector General Timothy P. Camus told Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) on Thursday that it took investigators just two weeks to recover 424 backup tapes that were previously said to be unretrievable.

“To date, we have found 32,744 unique emails that were backed up from Lois Lerner’s email box. We are in the process of comparing these emails to what the IRS has already produced to Congress to determine if we did in fact recover any new emails,” Camus said, according to the Washington Times.

In one of the new emails, Lerner apparently wrote, “No one will ever believe that both your hard drive and mine crashed within a week of each other.”

During the “rare late-night hearing,” Camus told lawmakers that they are investigating “potential criminal activity” regarding how Lerner’s emails disappeared,” the Times report added.

Chaffetz was stunned when he asked Camus if anyone from the IRS had ever asked for the backup tapes and he replied, “No.”

“We send a subpoena, we send letters, we have hearings, we hear all kinds of excuses from the IRS,” Chaffetz said. “Every excuse you can have under the sun — you find them in two weeks, and then when you go talk to the IT people who are there in charge of them, they told you that they were never even asked for them. Is that correct?”

“That is correct,” Camus replied.

It is simply incredible that this kind of reckless inefficiency mixed with flagrant contempt for our republic’s laws could take place in our nation. Thankfully, there are principled leaders in Washington who have refused to let this issue go.
