IRS Commissioner John Koskinen testified before the House Oversight and Government Affairs Committee that it would take a long time to retrieve all of the Lois Lerner emails that were subpoenaed, but he never hinted that they had been “lost” in a computer crash or otherwise.

Rep Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) wasn’t buying that excuse then, and he’s posted the YouTube video to prove it.

Funny how that email devouring computer crash didn’t come up under questioning.

@jasoninthehouse Lerner's computer decided to also take the 5th… — Ana Romanik (@AnaRomanik) June 13, 2014

@jasoninthehouse It's Federal law that they are archived for 5-10 years. It's IMPOSSIBLE to delete. 3 stage backup. Ask your own Sysadmin. — Henry Thoreau (@Thoreau_H_D) June 13, 2014
