U.S. National Archives offers reward for missing hard drive

The U.S. National Archives on Wednesday said it is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of a missing hard drive that contains personal information of former Clinton administration staff and visitors.

The small portable hard drive was being kept as a backup, the National Archives explained in a question-and-answer document (PDF) on its Web site. It held copies of about 113 four-millimeter tape cartridges of "snapshots" of hard-drive contents of employees who left the Executive Office of the President.

Because the staff maintained White House entry information and electronic address books, the external drive contains personally identifying information including names and Social Security numbers of staff and visitors to the White House complex during the Clinton administration, the FAQ said.

National Archives staff began searching for the missing drive March 24 and notified senior officials at the agency on April 2. The National Archives' inspector general then opened a criminal investigation and the agency informed the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team of the Department of Homeland Security, the White House Counsel's Office, staff of the House and Senate Oversight Committees, and a representative for former President Bill Clinton.

Sounds like Sandy Berger is at it again. He probably smuggled it out in his underpants like he did the other documents. Totally by accident he maintained.

One of his socks is larger than the other.

If authorities have any sense, an APB for Sandy Berger’s pants is in place.

What law? What accountability?

As far as the National Archives is concerned, America if not dead, will soon be.

Is your drive hard Sandy, or are you just happy to see me?

I don't recall any reward being offered for the missing Los Almos hard drives. Or maybe the reward was paid by China to the DNC.

There is a terabyte of data on that drive. Just the socials would net a lot more than fifty grand. The Secret Service procedures and other information is worth huge bucks.

And these are the same government flunkies that want us to trust them with our medical records.

They already have your med records, and they've already been transmitted to Google, where they wait with 'baited breath for the sale of them to be legalized by the marxist socialist that their money put into the offal orifice.

This is the government that will be in charge of our health records. Oh, well...that will take care of the problem of too many old people.

This whole thing is preposterous. It just so happens that I visited the Tennessee Archives and Library today to look at old court records. They had a security guard, four curators, and an elaborate system to prevent this very sort of thing. I was given white gloves to handle the old records, was not left alone, and was not allowed to take anything in or out. I even had to lock up my belongings in a locker beforehand. Someone at the Natl. Archives is not doing their job.

As you said, hence my suspicion. “Job” implies “boss”. Question is, is the term “boss” flexible? I admit it’s a stretch, but why would we have heard of this?
