DOJ lawyer says gov’t emails are backed up nightly; calls IRS claim they were deleted ‘laughable’
Source Powerline Blog
A reader writes from inside the Department of Justice to comment on the two-year gap in Lois Lerner’s intra-government email messages:
“I’m a DOJ lawyer, so you obviously cannot use my name or any identifying information. But the idea that a “hard drive crash” somehow destroyed all of Ms. Lerner’s intra-government email correspondence during the period in question [2009-2011] is laughable. Government email servers are backed up every night. So if she actually had a hard drive fail, her emails would be recoverable from the backup. If the backup was somehow also compromised, then we are talking about a conspiracy.”
He didn’t want to release his name, understandably, but he also said it’s getting very, very bad.
Wild Thing’s comment………..
Lerner must know these emails would bury her under the jailhouse…she is so desperate they not see the light of day!
Just another crime in the works by this out of control obama administration. It will be further covered up by Holder. And, basically uncontested by testicle challenged and corrupt Congress.
The Leftards went BERSERK when Tricky Dick could not account for 18 minutes of Watergate tapes, and the Barackshevik Executive IRS branch can’t account for … TWO YEARS of Electric transmissions?!!!!!!
President Nixon: Lost 18 minutes of Watergate Tapes.
President ObaMao: Lost 2 years of emails.
WE THE PEOPLE will decide in 141 more days!
