Lois G. Lerner, the employee at the center of the IRS tea party targeting scandal, wanted to recover files from her computer hard drive after it crashed in 2011, but when told it was impossible, she took a philosophical view.

“Sometimes stuff just happens,” she said in a 2011 email to the IRS tech staff that tried to recover documents from the hard drive.

Thank you, that is my point.

Virtually everyone understands this fact so for the administration to use it as an excuse is a deliberate affront designed to slap down all those requesting the emails.

If this data was stored on some sort of RAID device, someone would have had to destroy 2 or more discs with a hammer - sort of unlikely don’t you think?

I destroy my old discs with lead.

[WayneS]

...lots and lots of lead.

Generally at a rate of 55 gr to 250 gr per dose, depending on the specifics of the delivery device.

Sorry, it’s getting increasingly difficult for me to tell sarcasm from ignorance and truth from satire.

She’s a smug bitch! I just hope I live to see her punished. but with “no-balls” Issa running the circus in the House, I’m not holding my breath.

So now we have a year that the ‘cloud’ and servers have been wiped out and now the fabrication of an email to IT staff at her office.

[Gasshog]

the government isnt criminal but criminals have infiltrated the government so therez no clear distinction between law and crime. nor good.

I’m just going to keep saying it. Willing suspension of disbelief.
