New ( documentation) released by the House Oversight Committee this week again raises questions on how Lois Lerner’s hard drive was physically damaged and whether there was some kind of deliberate act to destroy data on it.
The House Oversight Committee report cites an officially transcribed interview with John Minsek, senior investigative analyst with the IRS Criminal Investigations (CI) unit. Minsek examined the Lerner hard drive in 2011. In the transcribed interview, he notes Lerner's hard drive contained “well-defined scoring creating a concentric circle in the proximity of the center of the disk.” The Oversight Committee report states:
"Using the CI unit's digital forensic facilities, Minsek opened the hard drive and conducted additional tests. Once he opened the hard drive, Minsek noticed “well-defined scoring creating a concentric circle in the proximity of the center of the disk.”
So how did the scoring get there?

Why would you impeach him? He wasn’t elected. Just fire his lying corrupt ass and arrest him on federal charges. Put him in a cell with some guy who’s doing time for tax evasion, see how that works out.
A laptop can be dropped onto a table or floor from 3 or 4 feet, while running, hard drive damage is likely but no visible damage to the laptop is possible. Even a drop from one foot could damage a functioning hard drive. If you do something that keeps it actively searching the drive, rather than being parked, and drop it, damage is even more likely.
Open the “Search” function, for example and have it search the entire drive for a specific term, the hard drive will be constantly seeking during the entire operation., Drop it during that operation, from 3 feet, good chance of this kind of damage. Most hard drives spin at least 5400 RPM, that’s 90 spins per second. Concentric means aligned on the same axis as the drive is mounted, which sounds a lot like a drive head impact while running.
There was a slave jumper cable and 12v deep cycle battery lying nearby.
The Tea Party must have snuck in and done it.
Laptop drives have accelerometers that detect free fall. When the sensor detects a fall, the controller parks the heads, preventing a head crash on impact.
If you want to destroy a drive without leaving tracks, a good strategy would be to make the drive busy, then hold it up level and strike it from below with a rubber mallet or such. No time for the fall sensor to work. Start with a soft blow. Increase the intensity until the system crashes.
Like Hillary’s hard drive problems, this most likely goes all the way to the top....covering for BHO.
Exactly. I’m just wondering how many will go to jail for him. If they would just put ONE in jail, I bet the birds would all start singing. Start with Lois.
Exactly right - But a shredded disk certainly is.
Why can’t Lerner be arrested on Federal charges too? I mean, what’s the hold up here. I think there is sufficient evidence to snare many of them. Arrest Hillary too. Get indictments. Get on with it.
If it is as described the arm failed and the read head crashed into the hard drive. That would create concentric circles. I doubt Lois has the know how to pull the drive, open it, and do what was done.
That said, they did not over hasty in finding her emails.
these low underlings need to go to prison so they will bargain to turn in the godfather
