We Don't Need No Stinkin' Emails :: SteynOnline
by Mark Steyn Steyn on America June 18, 2014
They're openly sneering at us now. Late on Friday, the Internal Revenue Service revealed that two-and-a-quarter years of Lois Lerner's emails have been "lost". Yesterday the IRS told Congress that it is unable to produce the emails of six other officials involved in the targeting of conservative groups, among them Nicole Flax, the chief of staff to then IRS commissioner Steven Miller.
We now learn that the IRS only retains email on its server for six months. After that, the email exists only on the hard drive of the physical desktop computer of the employee in question. And therefore, if that hard drive crashes, those emails are lost forever.
By the way, do feel free to try that excuse if the IRS asks you to produce any document more than six months old. As I said way back when at the dawn of this investigation, everyone subject to the attentions of this agency shouldplay by Lois Lerner Rules: oh, it'll take me years to produce all that stuff - even if I still have any of it.
Is it just the seven officials in whom Congress is interested whose computers crashed so catastrophically?
