Start prosecuting the people that were responsible for ensuring that these documents were properly archived as per federal law. You’ll be amazed what you would learn.

This business about the government not being able to produce documents from just 6 months to 1 year ago is absolute bunk and borders on criminal withholding of evidence.

You are mistaken, Citizen. Since the government defines what is and isn't criminal, nothing is criminal unless the government says it is.

In the transcript released by Issa, Kane also insists that the IRS believed that the tapes had been recycled when it told Congress more than a month ago that it couldn’t recover all of Lerner’s emails. He doesn’t say why that might not be the case anymore.

Maybe because a federal judge is asking now?

They were reel to reel.

A friend of mine placed a joke ad in the WA PO, at the time:

“Slightly used 6” reel-to-reel, Model xyz tape recorder for sale. Occasionally skips recording. Call 555-555-5555, ask for Dick”

Thank you for that one, it was a nice way to lighten up my day with the tough times had with the new baby in the house.

Forgot to mention that he actually put the true WH phone # in the ad.
