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.
I have had my share of fixing computers... but if she got the Blue Screen, that is generated by Windows XP OpSys, that means her disk was spinning up and attempting to read the boot sector.
There should have been readable data sectors. I call BS on the Hard Drive crash.
They're a lot more hands in this pie, someone was ordered to destroy the drive and left a clue, or someone with little experience attempted to make it look like a HD crash.
If six employee’s hard drives, containing all of their emails “crashed” is it possible to remove those accounts only from the email server, and would the server show evidence that those accounts had been removed?
Not necessarily correct. It depends on one's email configuration. A person can pull emails off the exchange server and move to their computer and the emails are gone from the server. Gone. I do it every day. Before I started backing up my own .pst files I had a hard disk crash and lost a lot of email. All email on the server reappeared but not emails that had been previously moved to my PC. Those emails were no longer on the exchange server.
What may be missing are emails moved to her personal computer off the server. However they have never really explained how her email was configured.
Now ... email servers are backed up every day. The emails would exist on backups. However I am not sure how long they keep the backups and whether emails for a period so long ago are even available right now. One would think so since this is the IRS after all and we are talking about a Director at the IRS.
I there are sinister forces a play here. It would not be farfetched to think that some FBI or CIA or the same guy who forged Obama’s birth certificate, in the dead of night conveniently destroyed her hard drive...so she could play dumb about it. But here’s the deal.
1. Ms Lerner, tell us who you emailed during this time, and for that matter who you didn’t email?
2. I keep my emails on the service. I NEVER download them to my computer, however at what time, I downloaded them. When I did that, wouldn’t they then disappear from the server sight/
3. They used a back up company, once they canceled the service, then that company destroys all the back ups? Ms Lerner, are you saying you NEVER backed up your computer?
4. Issa should grant immunity to EVERYONE working around this woman, who obviously has been drunk with power over the years.
5. I pray, that the IRS is completely dissolved and our tax laws are simplified ending in our taxes being reduced. We have the highest corporate taxes yet the lowest in tax revenues. States where is no income tax, or lower tax rates take in more money. Go figure. If I paid little to know taxes, I would spend the money or save it or both.
6. HOw about a National Tax HOliday. No income taxes are pad for one year.
