IT tickets should exist that would show a trail of exactly what happened and when - and who was the IT person they should haul before Congress next.
They say they archived the exchange server (which has EVERY email) on tape for 6 mos, but if her personal drive with her .pst (which has her SELECTED emails) crashes, they would not ask to restore the .pst using the exchange tape - they’re two different things.
The key is the infitessimally low probability of this “crash” and the other crashes occuring when they did. Pair that with them not reporting any of it until 2 weeks ago. Obstruction of justice.
They are onto something, but will they stick with it?
If an executive branch agency commits a crime, why is there no recourse to indict?
Start arresting people already. They have already committed federal crimes by not keeping paper copies. Also it is a federal crime to lose or hide any evidence that may be viewed as negative to getting to the truth.
IIRC, Issa asked K to get ALL IT tickets for the time frame in question.
K said he could and he would.
My assumption is there is a numbering system for repair tickets and one (or many) missing would be easy to spot?
