This tells me that the FBI crashed the computer.
Or that various agency heads, including Lois, figured out that the FBI could access their email , email logs, etc. without getting a warrant first.
That wouldn’t give them time to cover up or get rid of evidence.
My guess is that all incriminating conversations were done personally, or via ‘blackberry’ (remember, all top execs got one) using alias email accounts AFTER that point.
This focus on her ‘missing’ emails is a wild goose chase. Any ‘missing’ emails produced will have nothing incriminating on them, further justifying Lois’s claim of innocence.
The POINT is to keep us busy looking for it.
That’s why the quotation marks. It’s an excuse I thought I actually saw. The IT system probably is not designed, as it is, to be able to hunt for an email in backups without intensive manual efforts. Files are stored by file name but there is no attempt to index contents for the sake of the backup media.
The good Lord already knows where such a thing, should it exist, happens to be.
People are not the only entities who can try cloward-piven, proverbially speaking. The demons of hell will try to busy us out on pointless trivia too.
Forgive me if this sounds trite, but knee-mails to God probably will work best here. (Again proverbially; whatever means of prayer you find to be best, use it.) And, I would beg everybody, please do not try to limit Him up front by wallowing in despair about what supposedly can’t happen. He catches the crafty in their craftiness — this is a promise of the bible.
As a retired IT sales guy, I appreciate that statement, but it is a sad commentary on how little face to face people sales skills have in today's business world.
I'm glad I was fortunate enough to have been born in the 40 which allowed me to have my sales career in the 60's-00's, when it was still possible for creative sales guys to go one on one with CEOs CFOs, etc. instead of email blasts, facebook likes, linkedin shakes, instagram pings... ad nausea.
I don't think I'd like to have to try and sell in today's politically correct, technology bound, regulation controlled, obamacare restricted, business environment.
Good fortune to you and your business, God Bless America {even with our new king}.
I was abbreviating for the sake of the post. Most of what I do ON A COMPUTER is read and write e-mails. But I spend hours every day talking to people, which is by far the most important part of my job. If my computer crashed, though, I couldn’t just wander around the building making meetings happen (and disrupting people who are doing important work), so I’d be switching to my smartphone and continuing my computer work.
I don’t think the advent of computers and e-mails and smart devices has made face to face skills any less important. I’ll tell you that I regard the key to my success (such as it is) to be in what happens when I talk to other humans, in the same room. The skill set that I’m compensated for is centered there. The rest is just numbers, which are not worth anything unless a lot of people do a lot of valuable things.
