30,000 Lois Learner Emails found yesterday.

The watchdog agency for the Internal Revenue Service said it has found as many as 30,000 missing emails that could be relevant to a long-running congressional inquiry into alleged IRS targeting of conservative groups.
Investigators for the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration recently recovered the emails from IRS backup tapes, according to a spokeswoman for the watchdog agency. The emails belong to a former top IRS official, Lois Lerner, who has been a focus of congressional inquiries.
Lerner had led the IRS’s tax-exempt division. Many of her emails from 2009-2011 were missing because her computer hard drive crashed in 2011.
Top IRS officials had told lawmakers that backup tapes were routinely recycled and therefore weren’t useful in the effort to find the missing email records. The agency said it had used other employees’ hard drives to recover thousands of the missing emails. But TIGTA investigators succeeded in locating thousands of Lerner’s emails on the backup tapes.
The revelations promise to draw new attention to the targeting controversy, just before lawmakers return to Washington for the new Congress next year. TIGTA officials told lawmakers on Friday about the discovery of the missing emails, but congressional aides said it could take some weeks before the emails are sorted and in shape to examine. The emails must be decrypted and in some cases must be redacted to remove taxpayer-identifying information, aides said.

Many of Lois Lerner’s missing e-mails may no longer be missing.
The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration told several congressional committees on Friday that it has recovered as many as 30,000 of the ex-Internal Revenue Service official’s messages from disaster recovery tapes, according to congressional aides who participated in a briefing on the matter.
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen testified in June that the e-mails were lost after Lerner’s hard drive crashed in 2011. He said the agency tried unsuccessfully to retrieve the records with help from agency IT and forensic experts.
Koskinen acknowledged the existence of disaster recovery tapes but said the IRS didn’t try to retrieve Lerner’s e-mails from them because they only contained six months worth of data and because the process would have been extremely difficult, partly due to the amount of information on the tapes.
Inspectors have not yet determined how many of the e-mails were among those that the IRS has failed to produce for congressional investigators. Some of the recovered records might have been given to the oversight committee before, the staffers said.
The GOP-controlled House oversight and ways and means committees have sought the e-mails as part of their investigations into the IRS targeting scandal, which involved screening nonprofit advocacy groups for deeper review based on their names and policy positions. Most of the affected groups were conservative, although a small number of them were left-leaning.
Republicans have alleged that the Obama administration used the IRS and other enforcement agencies to silence conservative critics during the 2010 and 2012 election cycles, when the targeting occurred.
The missing e-mails cover a period from 2009 to 2011, when Lerner was head of the exempt-organizations division that selected the groups for extra scrutiny. Lerner, who retired months after acknowledging the agency’s inappropriate actions, has invoked her Fifth Amendment right at two separate congressional hearings on the matter.
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said in a statement on Friday that the recovered e-mails might contain “significant information.” He added that his panel will examine the e-mails for clues about Lerner’s “mindset and who she was communicating with outside the IRS during a critical period of time when the IRS was targeting conservative groups.”
The IRS said in a statement on Friday that it “remains committed to fully cooperating with all of the pending investigations.” The agency also said it has already sent more than 24,000 Lerner emails from the period before her hard drive crashed.
The inspector general’s office may need several more weeks to “decrypt” the files before sending them to the IRS for redactions, according to the aides.
The House and Senate committees on finance and ways and means may ask to view the e-mails as soon as they are ready for the IRS, since those panels have authority to view unredacted records containing sensitive taxpayer information.

The IRS said the emails were missing, the IRS also found the missing emails.
You have learning problems and only listen to AM radio out in your garage?
The IRS said that Lerner's computer hard drive crashed and that all the e-mails were stored there, which we all know is complete BS and nothing more than a giant LIE.So the LIE didn't work, so now they will have to pay the piper.

Chesus, the IRS takes you for a fool and an idiot when they first claim the E-Mails are gone. I'm sure you thought they were gone forever too, until someone smart enough came along and pointed out that all government agencies must have backups of everything.
The thing about lies is that the story has to get ever more convoluted to keep up.

plead the 5th, Lerner is in contempt of Congress, public employees cannot plead the 5th when it comes to the public trust.
all the e-mails were destroyed when the computer crashed
oopsy we have all the e-mails.
I hope Lerner goes to prison for the rest of her life.

Poor cheezy, always so far behind.

"On a 231 to 187 vote, the House approved a contempt citation against Lois G. Lerner, whose admission last year that the tax-enforcement agency had targeted conservative groups infuriated lawmakers in both parties, led to an overhaul of the IRS and Lerner's eventual retirement from government service."

Chesus will continue to play stupid over the abuse of power from the IRS appointed democratic POS. If she is found guilty of helping BarryO get elected she better go to jail for a very long time as a reminder to the rest of the politicians that want to abuse power given them by the people.

And I want to feel better about paying my tax's knowing that some democratic IRS bitch isn't in the political tank. And that goes for both sides of the isle. Anyway I agree with your post.

you're right.

in order for it to have fallen apart, it had to have been something at one point. but it was bullshit from the get go anyway.

the way to know it is bullshit is that an idiot like you couldn't stop flapping his retarded gums about it.

It's not going away. I want to know why the IRS bitch that took the fifth isn't talking about work related questions. And my guess is well over half of the country does too. The right people will be handling things soon and in the end the right thing will happen. But you better dust off your prayer book and pray that Lois is smarter than she looks.

So the IRS shouldnt even investigate 501C organizations?

How did she help "BarryO" get elected?

The head of the IRS who approved investigating 501c Organizations was actually appointed by Bush
Being a public employee doesnt strip you of your rights. If i was called before a congressional lynch mob headed By Darryl "the arsonist" Issa I would plead my 5th amendment rights in regards to the question "Have you ever bought Girl scout cookies"

So far the only one that has been confirmed as lying is Darryl Issa

Sorry cheezy, she can't use the 5th, hence why she was found guilty of contempt.
