If I’m not mistaken, the IRS has provided no evidence that the hard drive ever crashed. It’s just a repeated assertion, with no records showing the supposed event ever occurred or was handled.
Seems they could provide an IT person as a witness to back up these claims.
Still just a repeated assertion.
They maintain that 7 hard drive crashes (coincidentally, 7 people who are targets of the committee) destroyed all traces of a very specific subset of emails permanently. Setting aside how laughable the assertion is, that means other emails, along with other records, would still be available to show the servicing of these 7 computers.
Somehow, they haven’t been able to produce those, either.
