    May not be able to vote 'em out but we can still holler real loud on social media until a movement is created.

    These various scandals are all part of the cat and mouse game they like to play, and Lerner will end up being the patsy. I agree with aboutime and red states that they back ups will have been doctored and she'll be well compensated for taking the fall. For this administration, the beauty of having so many scandals at once is that an abundance of smoke and mirrors keeps everyone from seeing the big picture.

    Under Oath: IRS officials detail Lerner computer crash in declarations to court

    The IRS has submitted several sworn declarations to a federal district court in an attempt to explain the missing emails of former agency official Lois Lerner, as part of a case brought against the agency by a conservative watchdog group.

    In the declarations, agency technology officials insisted they did everything they could to fix and recover data from the hard drive of Lerner, who is a central figure in the investigation into the agency’s targeting of conservative groups. However, they said their efforts were fruitless, and some of Lerner's emails were lost.
    The IRS submitted the declarations to comply with an order from U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan as part of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, which said Monday the agency’s explanations were inadequate.
    “This latest IRS filing seems to treat as a joke Judge Sullivan’s order requiring the IRS to produce details about Lois Lerner’s ‘lost’ emails, and any efforts to retrieve and produce them to Judicial Watch as required under law,” the statement said. “Frankly, it seems the cover-up continues.”
    The IRS says it lost the emails in 2011 when Lerner's computer crashed. Judicial Watch, along with GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill, has questioned how the IRS lost the emails and, in some cases, had no apparent way to retrieve them.
    The declarations submitted were from five IRS officials, including two who said they personally worked on the hard drive.
    In their declarations, the two IT officials insisted they did everything they could to recover Lerner’s lost files. Aaron G. Signor, an information technology specialist, recounted how he ran multiple tests on the hard drive and attempted to recover the data, but it was to no avail.
    Signor said he did not recall there being any external physical damage to the hard drive, and the hard drive was later taken to be worked on by a more senior technician.
    The official, John H. Minsek, also worked on the hard drive. Minsek said the drive had “critical problems” that could have been either electronic or mechanical in nature, or both, and he was also unable to fix it.
    Sullivan had given the tax agency 30 days to file a declaration by an "appropriate official" to address the computer issues involving Lerner.
    Lerner, who has since retired, headed the IRS unit that reviews applications for tax-exempt status, at the time when the agency was accused of subjecting conservative groups to additional scrutiny.
    The Associated Press contributed to this report


    If the IT techs for the IRS can't do a better job backing up the IRS email system, how can they be trusted to preserve and protect everyone's sensitive personal records? This is simply more BS!
    Everyone who had anything to do with missing emails from each and every instance of "lost emails" should be charged with obstruction & contempt of congress, and jailed & fined!

    The emails are missing because they would incriminate people all the way to the white house and probably a bunch of senators as well. It's a full blown criminal conspiracy. Unfortunately the people responsible for prosecution are up to their eyeballs in it as well.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    The next time the IRS wants you to produce some records for them while you're under the microscope, just tell them they got lost in a catastrophic hard drive failure. Being the responsible citizen that you are, you sent it off to the recyclers.

    Seems like it's a valid argument and they certainly can't fault you.
