Better start another war to cover this up.

Whether its incompetence or deliberate obstruction, the IRS has no excuses for having handled this so poorly,
My $2 is on deliberate obstruction.

Why would they need excuses???
They’re all going to get off without so much as a single day in jail.
The Republicans in Congress will see to it.

Data, however, can be easily retrieved from scratched drives, according to Webster. This happens all the time, he told FoxNews.com. There are little storefront companies in just about every major city that can do this and there are forensic companies that can restore files and even do higher end recovery of data.
Webster explained that, even when a drives file directory is damaged or destroyed, information still can be recovered from the magnetic disk where data is stored, known as a drive platter.
And that's why this is a cover-up. No IT worker can be so stupid and inept to think that a damaged hard drive is unrecoverable. I repeat NO IT WORKER. This means that somebody from outside of IT determined it "unrecoverable"...to me meaning that somebody didn't want the data recovered.

How did they determine a scratch was the cause of failure? Did they open it up and look? Hard disk platter is not too easily “scratched” at least not to the eye unless something really hard did it. A fingernail will not leave a visible scratch.
Most drives I have seen have multiple platters, and they use both sides. One surface damaged still leaves a lot of data to recover
When they do get to a tech, I hope they ask if the manufacturers seals on the case were still intact.

Forget about the stupid hard drive. This stuff can be found on backups of the email server. COME ON!

“incompetence or deliberate obstruction”
Sounds like something a jury should decide.
When are they going to charge these people?

Because the IRS thing is really starting to crack now, another reason for the administration to let the border crap continue unabated.
They get future worthless voters and keep the IRS scandal somewhat on the back pages.
In my opinion, OBummer and the boys (Jarret and Holder) fear the IRS scandal more than anything else.

So here is the take away from all of this. If the IRS is messing with you for “back taxes”, tell them you want to see EVERYTHING the investigating “official” and their colleagues have e-mailed about you. EVERYTHING. Because given what we know now? Chances are the IRS will lose a discovery phase of a counter lawsuit regardless of your tax standing. It’s an ambulance chasers’ dream come true at taxpayers expense. Maybe this is how “we” cloward-piven the IRS. They want to play games? What if a million of us played and started demanding the full correspondence to our “cases” when the IRS comes a knocking?

I owned Bruce's Atari ST game, “Sundog.”
He was an enjoyable read in Byte magazine, along with conservative writer Jerry Pournelle.
I miss those days.
