Congress needs to subpoena ALL the IT people that could or did work on the server system and put the fear of jail in them.

As a SAN admin/Systems Admin, I can tell you without a doubt that the emails still exist. They need to get some professionals in there, to examine the off-site backups, and Virtual Volume Physical Copies/VV Snapshots ( of which they could have thousands ) and find them. Until they actually call in the pros, and stop talking to people who really have no clue, this investigation is just a joke.

None of the IRS workers would have 86’d any of the computer systems of the IRS. They would be aware of the criminal penalties for doing this.

No. This would have been a job that was farmed out to a contracting firm from say, Pakistan or China even...

Each of the IT people can be given the choice to explain how incompetent they and their bosses and all of the people that work for them are to design a system with their huge budgets that was so inadequate, or they could tell us where to find the emails. Someone is bound to want to continue to be able to find a job in IT at some point in future.

An offer of 10 million dollars tax free to whoever can produce the e-mails in question might get some results.
