Another big lie has come to light from Team Obama. The government has now admitted that all of the email of Lois Lerner and all the others with "missing" email still exist. It is all backed up on a massive federal system. The administration does not want to produce Lerner's email, however, because it would be "too onerous" to do so. This news is contained in papers from the government in the lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch.
So think about this little bit of news and what it actually means.
1. Obama and his people have been telling lies to Congress, the media and the federal courts. The story for the last four months has been that the email of Lois Lerner were on a crashed computer drive which was "recycled", Obama speak for thrown away. That story also continued that Lerner's email had been backed up by the IRS system, but that only stored those records for 6 months before being erased. Team Obama also told us all that there were roughly another 15 federal employees at both the IRS and the group overseeing the roll out of Healthcare.gov whose email had been tragically "lost". This story was told under oath to Congress by, among others, the Commissioner of the IRS. It was also told in affidavits filed by the Justice Department with federal courts. The story was also told at great length to the American people. But the story is completely false.
2. The false story told by Obama and the Obamacrats was not a mistake; this was an intentional lie. The backup system used by the federal government is not a surprise to Team Obama; it was required by a law that has been in effect for many decades. Indeed, the administration was repeatedly asked how it could be that there was no backup of the email given the statutory requirement that a backup be kept. The repeated answer was that no such backup existed. Except it did, and it would be a simple thing for the White House to verify that it did.
3. The lie was told by the Obamacrats in response to multiple subpoenas from congressional committees and orders from federal courts. These are lies under oath which certainly seem to rise to the level of criminal perjury. There well may be a basis to prosecute a number of federal officials for their conduct here.
4. The lie may now explain why it was that it took four months for the IRS finally to "disclose" to Congress that Lerner's hard drive had been destroyed and the email "lost". Maybe the delay happened after the content of Lerner's email in the backup system was reviewed and the full extent of the wrongdoing at the IRS was discovered. The "lost" email story could be a cover up of that wrong doing.
This lie will no doubt get lost in the shuffle as bigger news stories swirl through the media. It should not! This is one of the most blatant examples of federal misconduct of the last fifty years. Heads should roll.
