BREAKING: Obama Administration Lied About IRS Emails; They Were NOT Deleted! (VIDEO)

It has taken months, but we are learning over time just how sleazy former IRS official Lois Lerner was. From harassing U.S. Senators she didn’t like to keeping her most partisan conversations confined to un-archived instant messages, she is the poster-woman for how terrible a government employee with power can be.

But one relentless conservative group has used its powerhouse legal team to find out what many of us assumed all along: Lerner’s emails were never actually deleted!

Thanks to Judicial Watch, Justice Department attorneys have been forced to admit copies of Lois Lerner’s supposedly missing emails likely still exist on government backup computer drives. This is common procedure throughout all branches of government, but this is the first time the Obama administration has acknowledged that.

In a stunning revelation, the president of the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch told Fox News that Justice Department attorneys have intimated that Lois Lerner’s “lost” emails likely exist in back-up computers.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said the news came during a Friday phone call with Department of Justice attorneys representing the IRS in Judicial Watch’s FOIA lawsuit against the IRS.

Fitton said DOJ attorneys told him the federal government backs up all computer records to ensure the continuity of government in the event of a catastrophe. They told him that retrieving the emails from Lerner, a former IRS official, would be “too onerous” – a legal burden that can exempt an agency from complying with FOIA requests.

Until now, the story was that Lerner’s computer crashed and her hard drive was damaged beyond repair, thus preventing Congressional investigators from getting their hands on emails critical of how the IRS intimidated conservative Tea Party organizations.

At first, it was safe to assume that her messages were damaging and hurtful. But now that we see what illegal lengths the Administration is going to, to prevent her emails from being released, we can assume her messages could end Barack Obama’s presidency.

Please share and comment on this story if you are tired of this cover up. Conservatives should be allowed to speak out against their government without fear of harassment and prison.
