It is really amazing. Every time you ask for another IRS employee's e-mail his hard drive crashes. You need to stop asking.
“There’s no evidence that there were records destroyed.”
“I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, there's no way you can prove anything!”
Reminds me of an old joke. Two businessmen from the same city meet in the clubhouse of a luxury retirement complex in Florida. “You retired too?” says one to the other.
“Yes, our buildings had a catastrophic fire; so I took the insurance and retired. What about you?”
“Oh”, he replied, “we had a terrible flood that destroyed our business, so I also took the insurance and retired.”
He asked in reply “So, how do you start a flood?”
How DO you crash multiple hard drives?
The easy rebuttal to this should be: “Everyone at the IRS whose hard drive crashed should hope beyond hope that no evidence of impropriety exists, because if they are implicated in such impropriety, they may be assured that they will spend time as inmates in federal prison.
“However, if they come forward with evidence implicating others of impropriety, they will likely be offered a deal so that they alone will not become a felon.”
This is such Bovine Excrement. Emails are stored on servers. They tell us ours are forever so be careful why you say. There’s something here they’re trying to hide. And it must be damaging.
Lying liars and the lies they tell.
The company I worked for up until this May (I retired)kept all of our E-mail on back-ups. If my hard drive crashed they could reestablish all my e-mails. They were not required by law to do this, but it made good business sense so they were willing to pay the minor cost of this service. The IRS is lying because of political considerations.
A decent lawyer would insist on getting the IRS to produce a complete list of every hard drive that has crashed since 1 year before Obama took office and the name of the employee using the computer prior to the crash. Either it will show a consistent random series of crashes or it will have a pattern of spikes centered on key figures coinciding with developments in the scandal.
Oh how I would love to frog walk Koskinen to the slammer, lock the door and lose the key.
How do satirists stay one step ahead of reality anymore?
THIS IS KEY!!
The ObamaIRS has maintained that they could not recover Lerner's emails because her hard drive crashed... anyone in a large organization knows this cannot be true - emails are stored on a server.
Here he ADMITS that their emails come from a SERVER and therefore a desktop PC hard drive crash would not lose any emails.
But the GOP is too dumb to realize what has fallen into their laps...
