Jordan was another who effectively chewed on the commish.
Another scandal to put more people on a wild chase, while these scumbags in this administration destroy our Country when we are busy trying to find all this chit!
Fast % Furious, Beghazi, IRS scandal....you know the others.
I will pay attention when the House starts impeachment hearings on these jokers...or if they deny funding them.
Other than that, it is theater.
Pubbies don't seem to be playing this very smart. It is as if they want to showboat, but they fear they might find more than they can handle.
In a perfect world, he'd be hung upside down and tortured until he told the truth. Then he'd be tortured some more.
I glad to see that this question was finally addressed by our generally less than computer savvy GOP Congressman. Fortunately we at least have Chavez and Gowdy.
I suspect that Koskinen is also technically challenged and he has probably been feed a line about tape backups. Yes, there probably was a tape backup. But there was also, undoubtedly, a server backup or two or three that they could have easily used to restore the Lois Lerner Emails to her fresh new clean hard drive.
They apparently didn’t think of that.
Does anyone believe that story?
Does that fact lead anyone to question whether that hard drive of hers failed or was deliberately trashed, probably by a very, very savvy technical type?
Surely there are computer programs that will mess up a hard disk beyond recovery. I’m just guessing. If anyone knows that for sure they should comment.
So I’m betting on sabotage followed by a decision to not back up the Emails from a server. Deliberate destruction of evidence.
I would like to see emails after the crash where she apoligizes for her slowness in replying and explains to co-workers/correspondents that her hard drive crashed. Bet there aren’t any..
Bingo!
I do believe some of these ‘scandals’ are intentionally created to divert attention from other things.
We know the mass immigration of kids on the southern border seems to have been a manufactured crisis. It seems to have been in the works for months before it suddenly hit the news a couple of weeks ago.
Each time the Admin gets knee deep in a scandal, another scandal or crisis seems to become breaking news.
Wasn’t it Emanuel who said ‘never let a crisis go to waste’?
Don’t have a crisis? Then create one.
Oh you can believe that if a backup tape still exists the Chicago machine is vigorously employing an all out scorched-earth effort, leaving a trail of busted kneecaps, dead bodies and burned buildings that would even make Hollywood producers blush.
It is easy to pull individual emails from tape. Done it many times. He is full of it.
I was waiting for someone to ask if Lois Lerner ever left the office area where her computer was that eventually crashed. I mean, the chick has to take biz trips, and undoubtedly brought a laptop with her. Did she ever access her email while on the road? Having said that, does it mean that her office computer was set up as a virtual server where ALL HER email traffic was stored? Of course not, as her emails were stored on another server or two...or three located elsewhere.
This is the biggest load of horse$hit I’ve ever heard.
This “hard drive jive” is for the consumption of the low-information voters, plain and simple. Nothing to see here, move along now.
No need - just get Valerie Jarrett’s emails from/to Lerner.
At this point in time. I doubt that any tapes ever existed with the archival. Multiple Raid drives on the archive server is where they are at, and those are archived far longer than six months by Sonasoft’s own mission statement in guarantees to potential customers on their web site.
Again, this is all just kabuki theater meant to distract the masses, by both sides, save a brave few. With the amount of data generated by the IRS, a tape system would just take too long.
Mainframe computers went away from storage tapes so long ago and went to “hard” disk stacks back in the early 80’s.
Issa is under some sort of orders to delay and extend these hearings way beyond the means and mental focus of the masses to keep up with. Really? He gives this slime ball 50 questions to take back to the IRS and get him answers from those in charge of IT? So Darrell, just when do you expect to get those answers back? Right after you are personally delivered the missing e-mails by special currior?
not only that but irs lets individual employees decide what is and what is not a record under the records act-criminal negligence imo. what person who does wrong doing is going to mark a record to be archived that would implicate them? idiots
If all this is true they are breaking thousands of government regulations. This is pure coverup. Pure corruption. Pure in your face FU.
It is very hard to delete email as it can be in other folks email, it can be archived, it can be journaled, it is on weekly tapes, monthly tapes, email db logs. It is hard to beleive the feds purposely only keep 6 moñths of tapes.
I guess they should have used Carbonite. I set up all of my clients on Carbonite and have used the backup to restore numerous accounts. Their emails were ALL backed up and recovered! Most of the time, in hours. At the worst, in a couple of days!
Yup.
