When will someone point out that emails are NOT stored on employees' local hard drives in larger companies (like the US government). Emails are stored on a central email server (such as an exchange server). This must be the case if she also uses a Blackberry. Also, most email servers have archives and are always backed up.

Another public servant “fighting back” against hardworking, American taxpayers! Let’s all celebrate! She’s like some kind of freaky Nazi Wonder Woman!

[Diogenesis]

She already fought back when she destroyed the
hard drives, and then the backup tapes.

[VinceASA]

To clarify, when an employee’s hard drive crashes, there is no effect on emails. When this happens, all historical emails are reloaded from the central email server.

I’m sure the central email server did not crash. That would have made national news in 2011.

This whole thing will go nowhere. Lerner has the full force of the executive and administrative branches of the government backing her up. Add all of the cronies and you hit a literal brick wall. Until one side quits playing by the rules of their adversary, their adversary will keep winning.

The facts are closing in on her, otherwise she’d just remain quiet.

“Lois Lerner has no records of two years of missing emails and Republican claims that she’s hiding something are “silly,” her lawyer said...”

There’s a non-denial denial. Of course she has no records—she destroyed them.

It’s a bit like the man who killed his parents asking for mercy because he’s an orphan.

[vaudine]

O course it is silly to believe there is wrong doing!

Accidents happen---like for instance, the crash of 6 more computers of people who had been emailing back and forth with Lerner.

Such coincidences are such a bitch if you are suspicious (color me that), and so serendipitous if you are guilty(color Lerner et al that).

What made her computer crash?

That really just doesn’t happen anymore. The only thing that could have made such happen is if Lois was looking at porn all day.

[Ironfocus]

If she’s not hiding anything, why did she plead the 5th?

[Mr. Jeeves]

“She doesn’t know what happened,” lawyer William Taylor III said of the 2011 computer crash that erased two years worth of Lerner’s correspondence. “It’s a little brazen to think she did this on purpose.”

A good start, but he needs to tie it to the War on Women. Later, if needed, he can reveal that Lerner is 1/36th Cherokee Indian and play the race card. :)

[Starstruck]

Sorry, I can’t hear or read anything she says. My ears and eyes have invoked the 5th.

[DoodleDawg]

“It’s a little brazen to think she did this on purpose.”

It's more than brazen to expect us to think that over the course of two years there were no backups.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’d like to see them go after Elijah Cummings’ computers. He acts like he’s hiding something from the American people.

When will someone point out that emails are NOT stored on employees' local hard drives in larger companies (like the US government). Emails are stored on a central email server (such as an exchange server).

According to their IT policy, they had a size limit on user Exchange/Outlook mailboxes. So if the mailbox got full, the user would have to clean it up, by doing one of two things - 1.) archive old emails (they wanted to save) or 2.) delete them entirely.

Archive emails can be placed on the local hard drive/ outlook folder and do not get synced or backed up to server.

My theory is that in June she archived every damning email from the server down to her hard drive. And then destroyed her hard drive. But!! The emails would have still been part of the 6 month backup tapes, as they are simply snapshots of every mailbox on the Exchange server. But they admitted they didn't restore using the tapes. And once 6 months expired, they were gone. Very conveniently.

That said, an IT investigator expert could still locate every email by the way of log files, address book (who did she send emails to, and subpoena them all), blackberry server and logs, ISP files/logs, purchase orders of storage media (drives/thumb drives/CDs), names of every IT person and their logs who worked on hard drive and installed new drive, etc.

You would think that would be common knowledge that emails are stored on servers.

I posted this thread about Lois Lerner a few days ago; she is nothing but a political hack according to the article.

“She doesn’t know what happened,” lawyer William Taylor III said of the 2011 computer crash that erased two years worth of Lerner’s correspondence. “It’s a little brazen to think she did this on purpose.”

Just a little reminder about what the function of a defense lawyer is; to protect the client! In this role the lawyer cannot knowingly lie IN COURT or in LEGAL DOCUMENTS, beyond that - fair game!

So I equate a lawyer with a hired Public Relations Flack or a hired gun slinger, truth is not their goal, protection of the client is the goal.

Of course the fact that most of elected government is full of lawyers is a good thing, RIGHT?

charge the nazi bitch with obstruction already.

If that's true then why haven't these been seized/subpeonead?

“It’s a little brazen to think she did this on purpose.”

It's just plain lying to pretend she didn't.
