2 yrs of data lost means the crash/deletion was recent. So there definitely are backups for most if not almost all of that data. Also, the hardware failure would have generated a trail documenting the failure and replacement of the hardware, and likely data restore to the failed disk.
This is a very obvious and transparent lie.
Congress must imprison these Lerner.
I would like to know who did this, too. It would take a SysAdmin for sure. There’s no way Lerner had access or the knowledge of how to do this.
