And Shannon Bream said, &#8220;Tom, tell us what you found out, and were you surprised to now hear somebody with the agency saying these e-mails may never have been missing at all?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>FITTON:  A Department of Justice attorney told a Judicial Watch attorney on Friday that it turns out the federal government backs up all computer records in case something terrible happens in Washington.  They say it would be too hard to go get Lois Lerner\u2019s e-mails from that backup system.  So everything we\u2019ve been hearing about scratched hard drives, about missing e-mails of Lois Lerner, other IRS officials, other officials in the Obama administration, it\u2019s all been a pack of malarkey.  There\u2019s no such thing as Lois Lerner\u2019s missing e-mails.  It\u2019s all been a big lie.  They\u2019ve been lying to the courts, the American people, and to Congress.  It\u2019s really outrageous.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_95266\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fitton585.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  It\u2019s a jaw-dropping revelation because the Regime has been lying to the American people.  But the courts, they have been lying to all of these judges.  Some of these judges are pretty strict law and order guys.  This is gonna be interesting to see how this shakes out.  I know what they were doing.  They\u2019re lying about this to let the emotion evaporate.  They\u2019re lying about this to let everybody stop caring about it, people burnt out on their emotion, and now all of a sudden, guess what?  We\u2019ve got the e-mails. It\u2019s just so hard to go get \u2019em. I mean, that backup has got everything from the government on it. We know they\u2019re there, but that\u2019s not the point.  The point is they were specific in their lies.  They were specific.  Let\u2019s go to back and listen.  <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=9075\">This is John Koskinen <\/a>back on June 20th.  He\u2019s the commissioner of the IRS and this is at a House Ways and Means Committee hearing.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>KOSKINEN:  The actual hard drive, after it was determined that it was dysfunctional and that, with experts, no e-mails could be retrieved, was recycled and destroyed in the normal process.  This was &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>DAVE CAMP: So was it physically destroyed?<\/p>\n<p>KOSKINEN:  That\u2019s my understanding.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Doesn\u2019t matter.  It doesn\u2019t matter.  That was a full-fledged lie.  The e-mails are backed up.  But look at how specific the lie was.  These lies were told to explain why those e-mails were gone.  These lies were told to tell everybody that it would be impossible to get them.  And even when questions of system-wide backups were brought up, &#8220;Well, no, some of these e-mails are private addresses and they\u2019re not part of a government system and (muttering).&#8221;  It was all lies.  And Tom Fitton, I tell you, these guys at Judicial Watch, these guys don\u2019t stop. <\/p>\n<p>They just keep digging and they hit pay dirt.  What Fitton is saying, that a Department of Justice, a DOJ attorney told the Judicial Watch attorney on Friday that everything\u2019s backed up.  Those e-mails are still there.  It would be very hard to get them.  But the lies that Koskinen and everybody told were specific as to why they couldn\u2019t retrieve them.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This is The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson, Shannon Bream was filling in talking with Judicial Watch president, Tom Fitton.
