Obama’s Criminalized Dept. of Justice Conspired to Shut Down Search for ‘Lost’ IRS Emails

News has emerged that Barack Obama’s Department of Justice blocked attempts to force the IRS to search for Lois Lerner’s purportedly lost emails. In other words, Obama was actively trying to stop investigators from finding the emails that implicate the IRS in criminal actions.

This all means that Obama was directly aiding the criminal actions of the IRS[1] and helping to try and cover it up.

The Department of Justice blocked an attempt to force the Internal Revenue Service to search for Lois Lerner’s missing emails at off-site storage facilities, according to a lawyer pushing to obtain the emails.

The IRS never looked for Lerner’s backup email tapes at the West Virginia storage facility where they were being housed. Treasury deputy inspector general Timothy Camus told Congress that the IRS never asked IT professionals at the New Martinsville, W.V. storage site for the backup tapes. Camus only found the backup tape for Lerner’s missing 2011 emails about two weeks ago.

But the Obama administration knew that emails were stored at off-site facilities, and even shut down a legal request to send somebody to go look for them.

“We said in court that there are off-site servers where all IRS emails are stored,” lawyer Cleta Mitchell told The Daily Caller.

Obama and his administration are the most lawless criminals ever to infest the White House.
