The Federal Election Commission recycled the computer hard drive of April Sands — a former co-worker of Lois Lerner’s — hindering an investigation into Sands’ partisan political activities, according to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Sands resigned from the Federal Election Commission in April after she admitted to violating the Hatch Act, which bars executive branch employees from engaging in partisan political activities on federal time and at federal facilities.
The twist is that Sands also worked under Lois Lerner when the ex-IRS agent — who is currently embroiled in a scandal over the targeting of conservative political groups — worked at the FEC’s enforcement division.
In a letter to FEC chairman Lee Goodman, committee chairman Darrell Issa and committee member Jim Jordan laid out Sands’ partisan activities and asked for records pertaining to the recycling of her hard drive and of the agency’s records retention policies.
Sands took part in a heavily partisan online webcam discussion from FEC offices and also operated a Twitter account with the handle @ReignOfApril which were sent during Sands’ normal working hours.
One of Sands’ tweets, from June 4, 2012 read “I just don’t understand how anyone but straight white men can vote Republican. What kind of delusional rhetorical [sic] does one use?”
Sands is a black female.
“Dear every single Republican ever, When will U learn that Barack Hussein Obama is simply smarter than U? Stand down, Signed #Obama2012 #p2,” Sands wrote on May 1, 2012.

We need to hear from the Rosemary Woods of the IRS under Obama’s cover-up.
We also need to hear from the Alexander Butterfield of the IRS under Obama’s cover-up.
Because somebody knew there were records and where they were.
And somebody else knew when and how all those records were being erased.
At least, in Nixon’s case, we only lost 18 and a half minutes of White House tape.
In Obama’s case we have no idea how much has been destroyed.
Yet.
@Nanny G: I wonder how many Obama employees can claim “the dog ate my homework” until the true believers here will admit that this is criminal?
I expect those who fill the Obama library will be empty like his suit after they find that all the White House computers crashed and the hard drives recycled.
