Lois Lerner Attorney: It's ‘Silly’ to Think She Destroyed Emails
Breitbart.com ^ | June 28, 2014 | Robert Wilde

Although former IRS official Lois Lerner refuses to speak, pleading the fifth amendment, her attorney spoke on her behalf regarding the controversy over two years of missing IRS emails.

William Taylor III said that accusations by Republicans that she is hiding something is “silly… she doesn’t know what happened… It’s a little brazen to think she did this on purpose.”

The IRS and Democrats contend that the emails were lost due to a hard drive crash. Yet, as Politico reported, it so happens that the computer glitch was concomitant with the 2009 time period in which Cincinnati IRS agents started delaying the approvals of Tea Party groups vying for 501(c)(4) non-profit status. Notably, the not-for- profit designation would have allowed the conservative groups the capacity to carry out a limited amount of political activity.

Normal people would try to resurrect, restore, copy hard drive or computer. Technology is here to do that. What effort was made to report and restore the “incident”?

IRS crooks are soooo smart that they “lost” the evidence and are covering it up.

They just don’t realize that techno lies are not that simple. One needs to understand compu stuff to lie and cover up convincingly.

Now where is the NSA comprehensive spying on citizens? Does not include IRS or they were ordered to “lose” their multi billion backups? Demand WH Zero records!!!!

“No denial though.”

Exactly. Hillary did this after Bill got caught with Monica.

“These allegations are outrageous!”

Notice that this statement doesn’t say that the allegations are not true.

Yeah, they ARE outrageous.

She takes the fifth.
Her hard drive crashes.
The server malfunctions.
The backup tape becomes unusable.
The correspondents are nowhere to be found.
The company entrusted to save the emails is fired.
The current lackey assures congress it's impossible to retrieve the emails.

Now, why on Earth would anybody think there's something underhanded going on?
He's right, it is silly.

It’s idiotic to believe anything this fascist bitch or her mouthpiece says. If nothing else comes out of this at the very minimum Lois Lerner should go to jail.

You know - I can buy that.

Makes perfect sense that some secret, high-level plan was executed to see that all her emails were destroyed - even without her knowing it was being done.......perhaps without any top manager in the IRS knowing about it. In reality, that would be the most clandestine way to do it.

The White House has incredible power and tentacles everywhere in government.......

Gee, seven IRS computers with possibly incriminating e-mails all crashed at the same time AND the back up for those e-mails just happened to be ended at that time AND the hard drives on those computers were destroyed is just a coincidence...yah..you know my wife Morgan Fairchild.

What, you don't believe in coincidence?

It's my firm belief these people are doing it on purpose; the more absurd and transparent the fraudulent denial the better to flaunt their untouchable status.
