Analyst's note:  Everyday is a new discovery of crime and travesty regarding this Obama administration.  The worst part is that no one catches all his trash.

Editor’s Note – It’s Friday, not just any Friday, but the one that comes as Thanksgiving week approaches, so it is the prime data dump day if you want minimal attention paid to the content and meaning. What did we get, a ‘data dump’ on the Fast and Furious and IRS Scandals acquired by FOIA challenges and data recovery.

Most of America is thinking about family gatherings, snow storms, traveling, a break from classes, a short work-week or no work at all, and ‘Black Friday’ looming for Christmas Shopping.

Meanwhile, as distracted as we are, we are also anticipating that Ferguson, MO Police Officer Darren Wilson will not be indicted (leaked) and an explosion may soon erupt.

Also, the President just gave us the much anticipated speech last night on the executive actions he will take regarding illegal immigration. Of course, this also follows a blistering week of “GruberGate” and “stupid American voters.”

What better time to learn that some 30,000 emails may have turned up on recovery tapes in the Lois Lerner/IRS Scandal. The same ones we were told could never be recovered and were lost forever. In addition, another data dump, this time on the Fast and Furious Scandal took place as well.

Fortunately, in this age of instant communication, social networking, YouTube video, and smart phones in almost everyone’s hands, we are paying attention. If not, we have no excuse for not knowing about crucial facts and cover-ups on so many scandals.

What was just learned about White House, DOJ, and press collusion over Fast and Furious and what is likely to roll out for some time on the IRS Scandal, we better be paying attention. Our government has been caught again, and again, and again, and… well you get the picture; we hope.

We must once again thank Judicial Watch and true reporters like Sharyl Attkisson and regular, everyday concerned citizens like Rich Weinstein who uncovered the Gruber videos.

In this latest ‘dump,’ It appears that CBS did indeed cave to White House pressure on Fast and Furious. In our opinion, Bob Scheiffer of CBS, should be summarily fired or forced to retire. His credibility and that of CBS News, like that of Eric Holder and Barack Obama, are gone, forever.

How are we ever to believe anything that comes from this administration and the big four, CBS, CNN, NBC, and ABC among many others in the Main Stream Media which is no longer mainstream in reality?

Here is the story on Sharyl Attkisson and CBS, and below that is the revelation on the IRS emails:

Document Dump Shows DOJ Worked With White House To Target ‘Out of Control’ Sharyl Attkisson For Fast and Furious Coverage

By Katie Pavlich – Town Hall

A Department of Justice document dump to government watchdog Judicial Watch, made public yesterday, shows former DOJ Spokeswoman and Holder Flack Tracy Schmaler talking to the White House about “out of control” investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson. Attkisson was covering Operation Fast and Furious for CBS News at the time. 

An email was sent by Schmaler to White House Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz on October 4, 2011 and shows she planned to call Attkisson’s editor and longtime CBS anchor Bob Scheiffer to get a handle on her reporting.

Emails also show Schultz responding to Schmaler with, “Good. Her [Attkisson] piece was really bad for the AG.”

The specific story by Attkisson that Schmaler and Schultz are referring to was about memos showing Holder was briefed about Operation Fast and Furious nearly one year before he claimed he’d heard about the program under oath in front of Congress in May 2011.

Keep in mind that in 2011, when this email exchange occurred, the White House had denied any discussion about Operation Fast and Furious with the Department of Justice. This email not only proves they were jointly targeting Attkisson, but working together to mitigate the scandal. At one point during her pursuit of Fast and Furious Attkisson was screamed at by Schultz, who used profanity, over the phone.

It seems top brass over at CBS gave into DOJ pressure. Attkisson left CBS News last year after 20 years of working at the outlet, citing difficulty in getting stories critical of the Obama administration on the air.

In addition to going directly to the bosses of reporters for intimidation purposes, during her tenure Schmaler regularly worked with far left smear machines like Media Matters to attack other reporters and DOJ whistleblowers.

Schmaler left DOJ in February 2013.

Under a court order, DOJ turned over 42,000 pages of Fast and Furious documentation to Judicial Watch last week. The documentation was held for years under President Obama’s claim of executive privilege. Because of the vast amount of information, Judicial Watch is asking the public for help reviewing them and with looking for evidence of wrongdoing and corruption.

Attkisson recently published a book, Stonewalled: My Fight for Truth Against the Forces of Obstruction, Intimidation, and Harassment in Obama’s Washington, about her experiences.

30,000 missing emails from IRS’ Lerner recovered

BY SUSAN FERRECHIO – Washington Examiner

Up to 30,000 missing emails sent by former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner have been recovered by the IRS inspector general, five months after they were deemed lost forever.

The U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) informed congressional staffers from several committees on Friday that the emails were found among hundreds of “disaster recovery tapes” that were used to back up the IRS email system.

Lois Lerner leaves the Oversight hearing after being dismissed by Chairman Issa.

“They just said it took them several weeks and some forensic effort to get these emails off these tapes,” a congressional aide told the Washington Examiner.

The IRS, in a statement provided to the Examiner, said the agency and IRS Commissioner John Koskinen is fully cooperating with the investigation.

“As Commissioner Koskinen has stated, the IRS welcomes TIGTA’s independent review and expert forensic analysis.” The IRS statement said. “Commissioner Koskinen has said for some time he would be pleased if additional Lois Lerner emails from this time frame could be found.”

Committees in the House and Senate are seeking the emails, which they believe could show Lerner was working in concert with Obama administration officials to target conservative and Tea Party groups seeking tax-exempt status before the 2012 presidential election.

The missing emails extend from 2009 to 2011, a period when Lerner headed the IRS’s exempt-organizations division. The emails were lost when Lerner’s computer crashed, IRS officials said earlier this year.

In June Koskinen told Congress the emails were probably lost for good because the disaster recovery tape holds onto the data for only six months. He said even if the IRS had sought the emails within the six-month period, it would have been a complicated and difficult process to produce them from the tapes.

The IRS also lost the emails of several other employees who worked under Lerner during that period. Lerner, who retired from the IRS, has refused to be questioned by Congress. She provided a statement at a March hearing, but then clammed up, following the advice of her lawyer to avoid self-incrimination. The House, led by Republicans, voted in May to hold Lerner in contempt of Congress.

Congressional aides said officials from the inspector general’s office said it could take weeks to get the recovered emails off the tape before sending them to lawmakers in Capitol Hill. In all, investigators from the inspector general’s office combed through 744 disaster recovery tapes. They are not finished looking.

There are 250 million emails ion the tapes that will be reviewed. Officials said it is likely they will find missing emails from other IRS officials who worked under Lerner and who said they suffered computer crashes.

Investigators said the emails could include some overlapping information because it is not clear how many of them are duplicates or were already produced by Lerner to the congressional committees. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee he chairs will be one of the committees that will examine the emails.

“Though it is unclear whether TIGTA has found all of the missing Lois Lerner e-mails, there may be significant information in this discovery,” Issa told the Examiner. “The Oversight Committee will be looking for information about her mindset and who she was communicating with outside the IRS during a critical period of time when the IRS was targeting conservative groups. This discovery also underscores the lack of cooperation Congress has received from the IRS.

The agency first failed to disclose the loss to Congress and then tried to declare Lerner’s e-mails gone and lost forever. Once again it appears the IRS hasn’t been straight with Congress and the American people.”
