that that probably wasn t the case. why didn t they inform congress at that time considering it was august way back before that they requested and subpoenaed them. that doesn t make sense. the irs commissioner also told darrell issa he would provide the missing e-mails during the hearing on monday night. let s take a look at this. all the e-mails we have will be provided. i did not say i would provide you e-mails that disappeared. if you have a magical way for me to do it i d be happy to know about it. i said i would provide all the e-mails. we are providing all the e-mails. the fact that three years ago, some of them, not all of them, some of them were not veil. i never said i would provide you e-mails we didn t have. joining me now we have attorney mitchell and from the american law center jay seculo. the irs prematurely retired the storage devices. this is after the archivist said what they did was illegal, and the exact words they did not follow the law. lerner s computer cra
contract with a professional email archiving company. i want to know why the f.b.i. has not stepped forward and said what they have done to try to bring in their very sophisticated capabilities to understand what happened. attorney mitchell is talking about an email storage contractor and we re now learning the i.r.s. reportedly cancelled the long-time relationship with that company just weeks after lois lerner s computer crashed and shortly after other officials computers crashed. ed, i m going to go to you first. they ve been thrown under the bus because if their server system does work, i m imagining thooir they re digging up emails right now just to prove that we can keep the emails where they re supposed to be, gosh darn it. mitchell is telling us this is a much bigger problem. all their computers are going down. why can t this happen on april 14?
