Lois G. Lerner, the employee at the center of the IRS tea party targeting scandal, wanted to recover files from her computer hard drive after it crashed in 2011, but when told it was impossible, she took a philosophical view.
“Sometimes stuff just happens,” she said in a 2011 email to the IRS tech staff that tried to recover documents from the hard drive.

They’re acting like all of her emails were inside her PC that crashed. The only logical conclusion is that she’s guilty of everything she’s accused of, and Obama did order the IRS to harrass his political enemies. It’s beyond Nixonian.
We’re now being ruled by adolescent Progressives who are brazenly displaying their cosmic contempt.
IMHO
It has nothing to do with a crashed drive. Your emails are not sitting on your PC, they’re sitting on a server in a separate location.
And sometimes it's just helped along. I wonder which is the case here? </sarcasm>
18 minutes vs 2 years of emails. And I’m sure they were on several computers....cc....etc
AMEN and pass the plate bros!!
This smells like a setup. They probably used Yahoo for all their incriminating emails.
WHEN they recover the official emails “SHAZAM there’s nothing bad there”
Just to make those mean old Republicans look bad.
Probably right before the midterms.
Why isn’t she in prison? She’s in contempt of congress. Does congress have any enforcement powers? Same with Holder. Why do it if there is no punishment?
“Sometimes stuff happens” is the corrolary to the “What difference does it make?” Hillary defense.
well said, and 100% on the money.
I'm sure Lois Lerner does. I'm sure that she's convinced that the loss of emails was God's doing and that should be the end of it. Most rational people, on the other hand, don't believe that it was an accident.
More like a "TRIPLE-DOG DARE" without passing through the mandatory "DOUBLE-DOG DARE".
Anyone knows that when their computer crashes you can get you emails on another computer because the main copies are stored on email servers - you may have local backup, as may the recipient (and the NSA) but the provider hosts the emails.
This is a bitch slap.
I really want this woman to die in an 8x10 prison cell after about fifty years in it.
That's what they should say when they put her in a Capitol Cell and slam the door on her ass.
The problem, as I see it, lies with the complicity between federal and local law enforcement and the media. The feds couldn’t arrest this guy, he “got away.” So what do they do? They go to the media with this contrived story about a “prepper” with guns and food buried all over his property, making him out to seem like some sort of kook.
In reality, I applaud this guy. This guy is proof that the government is not an all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful entity. However, if he ends up riddled with a few hundred holes from select-fire submachine guns, I wouldn’t be surprised at all. Dead men tell no tales.
Not necessarily true. I use outlook, and have the box checked that says: "Delete mail from server". It actually does just that.
They are talking about her mail server. They are lying, of course.
BTW, anyone heard a peep from the Sot of the House yet on this particular issue?
One problem here is without a special prosecutor, the investigative arm of the Congress is the GAO I believe. Unless the white hut whistles up the FBI to look into this matter or the Treasury IG makes a criminal referral to DOJ (ha, got that one backstopped with the shadow’s shadow incharge over there), there is no access to the executive branches investigative apparatus like the FBI IMO.
Bullets....Ballots.....Bullets.....Ballots.....Hmmm...choices are gettin harder and harder.
Which should be obvious, as you can log onto any PC in a network, and access your email.
Or, another way to look at it is... Disconnect your PC from the internet (unplug your lan cable). Now try to access your email.
Unless you specifically configure your PC to store your emails on your hard drive, none of them are kept there (except drafts).
