Darrel Issa: Emails "don't just disappear... unless that was the intention."

[Little-Acorn]

-- Crappy email server with limited storage space.
-- Tape backups were kept for 6 months, then overwritten with a new backup
-- The required-by-law archive of each individual's emails were kept on each local machine
-- The hard drive crash thus kills that backup, and thus destroys all emails older than 6 months.

The only problem is, it didn't happen that way.

If it had, the Democrats would have told Congress that they couldn't comply with the subpoena shortly after it was issued, instead of waiting months (time they needed to delete the emails and scrub all possible recipients' computers, servers and backups).

And there wouldn't be six other suspects whose subpoenaed emails from the same period mysteriously vanished. Democrats still haven't explained how Lois Lerner's own computer crashing, deleted the emails of six other people who never used her computer.

The excuse is clearly a lie - obvious to all normal people. The only ones who claim to believe it, are the ones who told the lie in the first place, plus a few of the more rabid Obama sycophants on various internet forums.

Since the story that Lois Lerner's hard disk crash deleted six different people's emails, is obviously a lie, it has become clear that the Democrats deliberately chose to be punished for deliberate destruction of evidence and violating the law on keeping backups, rather than be punished for whatever was in the emails they deleted.

What was in those emails between Lerner et. al. and outside agencies such as the White House, that was so much worse for the Democrats than the crimes of destroying evidence and refusing to obey subpoenas?
