Mmm mmm mmmm
Loose Lip Lois leads to looser in WH
> is now normal corporate procedure to permanently erase emails after x days.
This has not been my experience.
I have worked for four $1bn+ hi-tech corporations, and we are required to keep every project-related, and policy-related email. Just to be sure, IT backs everything up periodically and puts it into long-term storage.
This practice has spared the corp from patent and copyright challenges, and has provided evidence in its challenges, on several occasions.
GD Land Systems made this policy after the Microsoft debacle. If you’d read some of the astonishing things their managers said in writing you’d do the same. I’d read it was (at least at that time) becoming the standard.
Heh. We are also required to take annual courses in professional conduct and ethics. Managers especially.
But all emails are archived and all are encouraged to eschew and report any ethical lapses asap.
Shredders? folks, E mails…it will be an electronic file.
My money is on printouts that are scanned into graphical images. It's been done before (IIRC, that was one of the tricks SCO played on IBM in the Linux lawsuite fiasco).
She getting thrown under the bus?
********************************
You beat me to it .... I was thinking UNDER the [political] bus .... even though DOJ won’t do anything with the contempt citation.
Congress needs to bring in a forensic expert to audit the IRS servers and personal email accounts....
Every email leaves a trail...even the ones not sent but put in a draft folder to share....
They dig long enought they will hit gold....
...or they could just ask the NSA....; }
Why didn’t Congress just ask NSA for the emails? /sarc
You beat me to it Popman!
Good work!
Yes, this is standard at most companies. I worked for MSFT for years and supported some of the lawyers in the anti-trust lawsuit.
Lerner better start singing like a canary unless she wants to take the fall for the Kenyan.
All that we want to turn over.....
What is Lerner’s penalty for being held in contempt?
Hoping some one from the Cincinnati office or some older career person abut to retire, will come forward and provide testimony of the corruption.
For later
Lerner has had to step on a few toes as she climbed her way to her position. Hopefully a few of those will get some payback points !
She has to kiss a man.
It’s about time, but what do they mean by “all?” The same “all” that the White House meant when they turned over all of the (non-incriminating) Benghazi emails?
Reminds me of the guy that went to the All the Fish You Can Eat Eatery and after he eats five fish and orders more the waiter says that’s all you can eat.
