Unless you can prove the contrary, you're in tinfoil-hat territory here.Since when has the Federal Bureaucracy ever shied away from spending the taxpayers money? The IRS is one of the most powerful bureaucracies in the Federal Government. Their JOB is based on record-keeping in order to bring the government as much money from the taxpayers as possible. To that end, I'm sure they pretty much have effective carte-blanche in terms of funding. And besides - all of the above measures? A drop in the ocean of federal funding, comparatively speaking. And did you forget about the NSA and its archiving of ALL internet traffic? (Talk about "hoist on your own petard.")
Those emails exist. They are not gone completely, no matter what Lerner or anyone else says.
If all else fails, then whoever received and sent emails to Lois Lerner (and others) outside of the IRS - such as the White House - can have their emails subpoenaed. And won't it be "convenient" if their computer hard drives "crashed" as well, supposedly deleting the exact same time period? If something like that happens, then it will be incontrovertible proof that "the fix is in". (As if all of this isn't enough already.)
This stinks to high heaven. And it is not "tin-foil hat" to say so.
