House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa on Tuesday issued a subpoena to the Internal Revenue Service, ordering the agency to turn over the hard drive they claim is responsible for wiping out two years of critical email communications.
Issa has dramatically widened his probe into the IRS after the agency announced last week that it had lost the emails, which may have provided information about an IRS policy of targeting for extra scrutiny and delay many conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status.

I wonder if the hard drive will show evidence of being wiped.
Issa has been IMPOTENT in this SCANDAL investigation!! IMPOTENT!
They will soon learn that all the hard drives have been destroyed and buried in an undisclosed landfill. Standard procedure for the IRS, of course! /sarc
Why doesn’t he force her to offer up all her email addresses. All of them.
"The" hard drive. Singular.
I know that Issa asked for backups too, but too much of the reporting on this subject pretends that this is about one hard drive on one computer. That is the left's preferred narrative, and it's not true. There will be at least multiple copies of the emails on RAID arrays.
Let Issa call Symantec's Chief Technology Officer to testify on the likelihood that the IRS's Symantec Netbackup software lost Lerner's emails because a single hard drive went down.
Issa is impotent on all the Obama scandals. That’s why Boehner and the Dems want him right where he is.
I have not been following this very closely- so I do not know if this point has been raised.
I receive an email from you (this is an example), you are outside or inside my organization. I make changes or comments to your email, I then email back to you.
At the very least - I should have copy of your original in my inbox and the new in my sent box(comments added) email, as you should of the original without my comments.
If the distribution list was large everyone should have a copy, or more depending on how many replies said email generated.
This answer by the IRS boggles the mind for shear arrogance.
Issa has been impotent in EVERY scandal investigation.All bark, no bite.
Come on Darrell,
Obammy and company are playing you for a punk.
Every email that I send or receive on my government computer is archived somewhere, not on my computer. I have a hard time believing that all of those emails were lost... I’m pretty sure the systems are redundant.
I wonder if it will be the correct hard drive?
In the end, this will all come down to “executive privilege” and the records will be sealed with dutiful assistance from the dept of Just-Us...
NSA has copies!
“There will be at least multiple copies of the emails on RAID arrays.”
Every time I did my required offsite backups I always made two copies. One copy I kept on site for my use in case of a needed restore because developers were always trashing their files. It’s just not believable that the storage admins didn’t do the same in this case.
Of course not.
He is diligently proceeding to gather evidence necessary to make the kill.
