JOHN HINDERAKER: THE LATEST ON LOIS LERNER’S “LOST” EMAILS, WITH A BOMBSHELL AT THE END. “That is all very interesting, but the question remains: did Lois Lerner really lose the only copies of her 2009-2011 emails in a hard drive crash? In its correspondence, the IRS tried to prove the point by attaching an email thread in which the agency’s IT professionals sadly advised Ms. Lerner that they had been unable to recover her missing files. But if you read to the end of the thread (i.e., the beginning) you see Lerner’s email of July 19, 2011, in which she laments the loss of ‘personal files’ due to her computer’s crash, but never mentions any lost emails.”
