[h=1]30,000 missing emails from IRS' Lerner recovered[/h]

Up to 30,000 missing emails sent by former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner have been recovered by the IRS inspector general, five months after they were deemed lost forever.The U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) informed congressional staffers from several committees on Friday that the emails were found among hundreds of “disaster recovery tapes” that were used to back up the IRS email system.
“They just said it took them several weeks and some forensic effort to get these emails off these tapes,” a congressional aide told the Washington Examiner.
The IRS, in a statement provided to the Examiner, said the agency and IRS Commissioner John Koskinen is fully cooperating with the investigation.

It will be interesting to see how long and how many people it takes to read all those emails.

And assuming there is incriminating evidence in those emails what repercussions will there be.

Will the DOJ take action against Lois Lerner?

My guess is NO.

Former IRS official Lois Lerner received $129,300 in bonuses between 2010 and 2013, records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act show.
Over a three-year period, Lerner, the head of the tax-exempt division at the heart of the IRS targeting scandal, received a 25 percent retention bonus—averaging $43,000 a year—on top of her regular salary.
The federal government uses retention bonuses to incentivize valuable employees who are considering retirement or private sector jobs to stay at their agencies.
Former acting IRS commissioner Steven T. Miller recommended Lerner for a $42,000 retention bonus in December 2009, when she first became eligible for retirement.
“Ms. Lerner is eligible for retirement and as an attorney with extensive experience would likely command a much greater pay and benefits if she left the Service,” Miller wrote. “Without a retention incentive she will leave the Service.”
Miller said that there was no senior official ready to take over the position if Lerner left, and that “her unique blend of specialized technical expertise, broad organizational knowledge, and leadership skills cannot be matched.”
Joseph Grant, the deputy commissioner of the tax-exempt division, approved the bonus. The second-level review of Lerner’s retention bonus was approved by Miller himself.
Both officials signed off on annual renewals for Lerner’s retention bonus in 2011 and 2012. Both officials would also later resign in connection with the targeting scandal.
In 2011 and 2012, Lerner’s retention bonuses were $43,050 and $44,250.
In November 2012, the IRS informed Lerner that her retention bonus was being suspended because her total estimated earnings for the calendar year had exceeded the aggregate limit for federal employees: $230,700.
The IRS notified Lerner in a March 10, 2013, email that it was canceling her retention bonus.
On May 10, 2013, Lerner revealed in response to a planted question during a speech at the American Bar Association that the IRS had singled out groups applying for tax-exempt status that had “tea party” or “patriot” in their names.
The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration released a report on May 14, 2013, finding that the IRS “used inappropriate criteria that identified for review Tea Party and other organizations applying for tax-exempt status based upon their names or policy positions instead of indications of potential political campaign intervention.”
Miller resigned on May 15, 2013. A day later, Grant announced his retirement, effective June 3, 2013.
Lerner retired in September 2013, ensuring that she receives a full federal pension.
But at least the IRS filled out all the proper paperwork for Lerner’s retention bonus. Other agencies have been less diligent. An Environmental Protection Agency Inspector General investigation foundthat 11 EPA employees received nearly $500,000 in unauthorized retention bonuses between 2006 and 2013.

I'm afraid the e-mails will be useless.

They knew they had them (and claimed they were lost forever) so they could sanitize all of the e-mails before handing them over.

The second as Lerner said they were gone, in either a written response or verbal comment...there should have been a court order to immediately subpoena them. Administer a cease and desist order with the IRS IT department, then issue a warrant to search all the hard drives and backup tapes before the e-mails could be sanitized. I'd be stunned if anything incriminating is found.

This is hands-down the most corrupt and ruthless administration with which this country has been cursed.

Them moment she took the 5th you knew she was guilty.

Guilty of what is a hole other ball game. In any event what difference does it make? The DOJ would have to go after her and we all know that’s not going to happen.

I used to think Issa was a stand up guy but know I think he’s just putting on a pony and dog show.

"To avoid prolonging a discussion that would be academic, I have confirmed with the secretary’s IT support that no emails….. for the time period January 21, 2009 through February 1, 2013 reside on the server or on any back-up systems associated with the server," Kendall wrote.

Gowdy and other Republicans have suggested an independent arbiter should conduct a review of Clinton's emails. In addition to claiming there is "no basis to support the proposed third-party review of the server," Kendall argued the fact its contents were deleted made the idea of a review a moot point.

Only your e-mails reside on the server forever :neenee:
