IRS: So… Our Computer Crashed And Erased All Of Lois Lerner’s Emails

http://news.yahoo.com/irs-computer-c...203605784.html

I'm guessing if you owe them money, that data is safe.

Not even a smidgen of corruption.

What scandal?

What an insult to the American public's intelligence.

Well you certainly can't say this isn't transparent...

This should be a demotivational poster or one of those memes like the bachelor frog:

IRS - makes you keep 5 years of tax receipts, doesn't keep backup of exchange server

lol

You got to remember guys. Liberals in this forum suffer from groupthink so badly they seriously argue that this wasn't a scandal.

This is what happens when you don't give the IRS enough money to buy hard drives to save emails.

Have the pentagon send a few over.

This still isn't a scandal, guys, because you still have no victims and no wrongdoing. Hope this helps!

Except we have both. lol fly.

Copies of those emails should be available at Treasury, Justice Department, the Federal Election Commission and Democratic offices so no biggie.

Like we'll play the same game that gets Benghazi truthers to shut the **** up:

What do you imagine was on those emails? Let's pretend they get found, and let's also pretend they are as scandalous as ****ing possible. What do you think they say? What makes this a scandal?

Note: Before you answer, you may want to circle back and ask yourself if you remotely understand the non-profit classification system that is the issue here.

"My computer crashed and I lost all the evidence that could incriminate me" is the IRS equivalent scenario of plausible deniability as when racists say some thing that's obviously racist but with juuuust enough deniability built in to keep them from being labeled obvious racists.

Lol, incriminate who? How? Of what?

^

Did you read the story?

Yes. Did you not? Who do you think is being incriminated in those emails because as a big hint it isnt Lois Lerner.

1) The e-mails are stored on the server, not the client computer.
2) The servers use raid arrays, so a failed hard drive won't cause loss of data.
3) The hard drives are backed up at least once a day and backups wind up in some iron mountain somewhere.
4) after changing the laws in 2006 the server software now keeps even deleted e-mails in a directory the user has no access to.
5) The employees are REQUIRED to print out copies of e-mails that can be considered work product and keep them.
6) All this is REQUIRED by law to be sent to the archivist of the United States.


Just saying we lost them is wrongdoing and may well have a dozen felonies attached to it.

If they don't have them it is because someone has spent the last year altering server logs and destroying backups.

Hey is that list of things stuff you actually know, or is stuff you kinda wish was true and so when you read it into a Freeper comment or w/e you believed it?

I mean, I personally don't work for the IRS or anything, but I find it pretty ****ing implausible that IRS employees are REQUIRED to print out all their work emails and send them to "the archivist of the United States".

Like we'll play the same game that gets Benghazi truthers to shut the **** up:

What do you imagine was on those emails? Let's pretend they get found, and let's also pretend they are as scandalous as ****ing possible. What do you think they say? What makes this a scandal?

probably some statistics on how much minesweeper they've been playing in the office.
