More FELONIES committed by the criminal regime.
Gee, it almost sounds like destruction of evidence.
Odd, that.
Yes, employees thinking that tapes full of data being collected for some reason were supposed to be erased.
That makes perfect sense to me. Employee thinking: “Tape full of data and it isn’t my tape...Well, I am at work, and it’s just sitting there...I think I’ll erase it.”

Odd that they never delete all the information they have on us.
even worse, how many have erased our backups AFTER having used hard drive failures as an excuse.
Saying it was an accident simply isn't believable.
Nothing whatsoever will come of this.
If you or I had done this in response to a Feral government investigation, there is no doubt whatsoever as to what the outcome would be.
However, rather than talk about criminal government, it's more important to talk endlessly about a flag because, ya know, flags are so important.
The revelation is likely to fuel conspiracy theories among conservatives who say the IRS has obstructed congressional investigations into the scandal.
Yahoo News needs a fact checker and proofreader. Oh, nevermind. I'll do it.
The revelation is likely to fuel conspiracy theories result in the only logical conclusion among conservatives all clear thinking people who say can see as plain as day that the IRS has obstructed congressional investigations into the scandal. All others are willfully blind, corrupt or just plain stupid.
I recently suffered a full blown computer crash that resulted in Dell sending me a replacement laptop. But in order to get that, I had to agree to send the crashed computer back to them. After transferring all my files to the replacement computer, I erased the hard drive on the old one before sending it back.
Funny thing -- it was impossible to erase the hard drive, although I looked up how to do it, followed the instructions, and tried many times to complete the task, all without success -- much to my frustration.
Further online research on how to do it led me to a software program called Darik's Nuke and Boot (DBAN), which I downloaded and which finally enabled me to wipe the hard drive clean after first creating a boot disk and starting the computer from that. Even then, before launching DBAN, it gave me several warnings that I was about to permanently delete the data from the hard drive.
And once I launched the program, the program took TWELVE HOURS to complete the task of wiping the hard drive clean.
I am no techie, but based on this experience, I would submit that it is absolutely impossible to erase a hard drive by mistake. It requires a very deliberate and specialized sequence of events to accomplish that erasure.
It is obvious that the IRS DELIBERATELY erased the hard drive, because based on my experience, there is just no way to do it by accident.
