Now IRS Reports EVEN MORE Computer Crashes, Doesn’t Know If Emails Still Exist

The Daily Caller – by Patrick Howley

IRS Deputy Associate Chief Counsel Thomas Kane said in transcribed congressional testimony that more IRS officials experienced computer crashes, bringing the total number of crash victims to “less than 20,” and also said that the agency does not know if the lost emails are still backed up somewhere.

The new round of computer crash victims includes David Fish, who routinely corresponded with Lois Lerner, as well as Lerner subordinate Andy Megosh, Lerner’s technical adviser Justin Lowe, and Cincinnati-based agent Kimberly Kitchens. 

“You stated at the time that document was produced to Congress, the document, the white paper in Exhibit 3[the June 13 memo], that it was accurate to the best of your knowledge.  Is it still accurate?,” a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee investigator asked Kane.

“There is an issue as to whether or not there is a ‑‑ that all of the backup recovery tapes were destroyed on the 6‑month retention schedule,” Kane replied.

“So some of those backup tapes may still exist?,” the investigator asked.

“I don’t know whether they are or they aren’t, but it’s an issue that’s being looked at,” Kane said.

  1. I wonder how many aren’t going to bother to file this year? It’s illegal to collect taxes on PERSONAL INCOME, anyway, and people should fill out a new Withholding Form, taking the max-deductions possible.

    Then use the same excuses.

    What a shame – and a sham – this country’s leaders have become.

    And every election, they keep their jobs.

    Hillary Clinton visited my town for her book signing (what a joke title; ‘Hard Choices’).

    1300 people came out to gush over her.

    I wrote the local rag that covered this nonsense, and said that if Americans were awake and paying attention, 1300 would have shown up to ARREST Hillary.

    We’ll see if they print it.
