Maybe a tea party PAC shoudl raise the dough to setup anyone who can retrieve such infro from the IRS conmputers a lifetime retirement in luxury ie. about 10 million bucks.
Or put a $1,000 bounty of every unique e-mail from Lois Lerner in the time frame the E-mails were supposedly lost...
And add a bonus of $10,000 to every additional 100 e-mails retrived...
Congress spent how many billions developing the Obamacare medical exchange websites for the feds and each state. Surely they can find some IT support contractor to do this. Just about every federal installation I’m familiar with has and IT contractor services 24/7.
When I was in private practice our company’s entire network system crashed which held emails and all project files. It cost the company $100,000 and took a month but those guys came in and started from scratch restoring basic services first and the more complex ones came later. WE never lost one file!
The original network was setup by a self professed IT specialist who had started with the company when they first moved to the computer age and the system was developed over a number of years and as the each new version of software came out he would have to figure out his previous mess so it could take the new programming all unbeknownst to management because it was all black box stuff. Then he quit and took a job with the University of Washington and within a month with no one there to keep it together the wheels came off.
Since then I have made it a point to direct my IT staff to develop manuals to prevent this from ever happening again and so they can trace where the problem may occur without having to bring in the outside consultants.
