The IRS would have to have some transaction with the big electronic storage companies. Here are the transactions between the Dept. of Treasury and IBM for 2000 to 2012:

Here it is for EMC:

The IRS is the second largest purchaser in the Dept. of Treasury. The list is divided by years, so go down the page to see all the years. IBM and EMC and other storage companies can’t afford to be connected with lost data, if they are doing the storage for the IRS.

Good point...The question is why, and who is the company no one has ever heard of before today, that did this support work for the IRS...

Who works there, what are their political affiliations, background, etc etc etc...

The can of worms is right there in front of the schmuckatellies in these committees...

Somebody just needs to bring a can opener...

Easy breezy...Piece of cake...”Get ‘r dun!”

IBM:

“Total transactions for fiscal year 2012: 168

Total funding (within this search) for the year: $47,741,187”

Contract #78541e88b078ad8a21d05f25bef579bf does refer to data storage, and would probably cover much of the period in question.
