IRS CANCELLED Contract with Email-Storage Firm Weeks After Lerner’s Computer Crash
daily caller ^ | 6/22 | howley

Posted on 06/22/2014 7:39:52 AM PDT by RummyChick

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) cancelled its longtime relationship with an email-storage contractor just weeks after ex-IRS official Lois Lerner’s computer crashed and shortly before other IRS officials’ computers allegedly crashed.

The IRS signed a contract with Sonasoft, an email-archiving company based in San Jose, California, each year from 2005 to 2010. The company, which partners with Microsoft and counts The New York Times among its clients, claims in its company slogans that it provides “Email Archiving Done Right” and “Point-Click Recovery.” Sonasoft in 2009 tweeted, “If the IRS uses Sonasoft products to backup their servers why wouldn’t you choose them to protect your severs?

I believe there are a few medical doctors in Congress. If a bill were introduced stating that having surgeons wash their hands before surgery is a useless practice, you know there would be Senators or Reps standing up to say, "I went to medical school, I've practiced medicine for 30 years. The claim being made here is simply outrageous."

Are there no high tech guys in Congress? Isn't there someone like Steve Jobs or Mark Cuban who can stand up and say, "This is complete crap"?

Plenty of people outside Congress know it's BS. It would be nice if someone inside the beltway would call a spade a spade.

As far as I'm concerned, the IRS dishonesty rises to the level of saying, "Yes, we do have a colony on Mars. It's been there for decades."

It's a blatant lie, and everyone knows it. But Obama thinks he can get away with this stuff.

How about checking Lois Lerner’s E-mail Recipients Inboxes??

I believe they said they did that and that is when, SURPRISE!! they discovered More hard drive crashes. As if any of this hard drive nonsense has anything to do with it.

Because they are locations unlisted in any directory. They also move every three to five years to other leased locations within private office buildings. No signs. No listing in the lobbies. The only locations disclosed are the big processing centers. The little local hives are hidden.

Correct. And I believe the IRS is engaged in criminal activities, such as obstruction of justice. If true then the news media is complicit in the criminal activity and may and should be prosecuted under the RICO statutes. We will have to wait until a republican administration is in place to prosecute the activity properly, but that should happen before the statute of limitations runs out. Typically 7-12 years

How many do you think it would take? More than a few thousand would be felt within the agency as Im sure they are not geared up to handle anything like this. We could gum up the system pretty good with an act of true civil disobedience.

This or the pitchforks and torches idea. Im liking them both.

The question is whom at the IRS asked that all data be scrubbed when the they cancelled the contract.

There can be no question, given improbability upon improbability, that that is exactly what happened. The IRS told Sonasoft the contract is cancelled, we'll do it on our own, now you must erase all of the emails you have been archiving for us.

“How about checking Lois Lerner’s E-mail Recipients Inboxes??”

Already covered by the Odingo Crime Syndicate, there were six others who’s email was “lost” due to crashed computers. Undoubtedly they were Learners co conspirators. The corruption is not just with the IRS Administrators, but the IT Dept. as well. There is a whole lot of people involved, and surely someone will have stumbled across evidence whom were not part of the conspiracy. It’s hard for me to believe this won’t unravel before Odingo leaves office short of Republican complicacy.

How long? isn’t it at least seven years?

Like the rest of us have to keep records?

(class action lawsuit time?

injured party: All taxpayers

injury done: not keeping records)

Agreed. It was pointless to even fool with him. Issa just needs to start subpoenaing every source that might have those emails.

Why is no one saying this? Hummm??”

yep, I betcha there were more than just six other recipients.

Look at this way, if the other six who “lost” their emails did it on purpose in conjuction with Lerner, then isn’t that a conspiracy?

And wouldn’t a RICO lawsuit be applicable?

Racketeering In Criminal Organization indeed!

What are the Risks of Poor Management of Records?

Increased difficulty or inability to complete your work and meet your responsibilities
Difficulties in fulfilling FOIA or litigation requests
Criminal or civil penalties, fines and/or imprisonment for:
The unlawful removal or destruction of federal records (18 U.S.C. 2071)
The unlawful disclosure of national security information (18 U.S.C. 793,794,& 798)

The improper handling of records containing other information exempt under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.552), the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a), and other information to which access is restricted by law.

Documents agreements reached in meetings, telephone conversations, or other E–mail exchanges on substantive matters relating to business processes or activities
Provides comments on or objections to the language on drafts of policy statements or action plans
Supplements information in official files and/or adds to a complete understanding of office operations and responsibilities
Will be needed by you or your successor in carrying out your responsibilities

If you determine that an E-mail is a record, it must be filed appropriately. Unless your component has approved procedures for electronic retention of E-mail, you must print the E-mail message and file/store it in accordance with DOJ’s overall policies and guidance.

More layers to this rotting onion than anyone suspected, IMO.

And, another example of Zero’s opaque transparency.

It worked for you-know-who 20 years ago so why bother to change the SOP for deception by Democrats?

Rose Firm Aides Shredded Foster Papers:

Probe: Courier says he, roommate were told to destroy items. Lawyers say documents were unrelated to Whitewater inquiry.

Two years later:

The Whitewater Lost And Found Records

Source: PBS Frontline Transcripts

January 30, 1996
Correspondent: Chris Bury
Anchor: Ted Koppel

Announcer: January 30th, 1996.

TED KOPPEL (VO): The accusation? Obstruction of justice, knowingly withholding subpoenaed documents. The location? A book room on the third floor of the White House, a room in the first family's private quarters. One clue? A White House log handed over today with the names of all the people who might have had access - from Mrs Clinton's chief of staff, to Chelsea Clinton's friends, to dignitaries visiting the President. Tonight, the mystery of the lost and found records.

Let's not forget tax cheat extraordinaire Cheatin' Charlie Rangel:

IRS Chief Campaigned With Tax Cheat Rangel

As allegations of tax fraud swirled around Rep. Charlie Rangel, then-IRS Commissioner appeared with him at a campaign-style event in Harlem. The PR event at a local food bank was ostensibly to discuss tax credits for low-income workers, but the presence of Shulman gave a powerful boost to Rangel, just months after the New York Times called for him to step down.

Of course, we can't let Turbo Tax Timmy get away without a mention:

Out: tax cheat for Treasury Secretary. In: bailout profiteer for Treasury Secretary

President Obama’s old Treasury Secretary was “Turbo Tax” Tim Geithner, one of the most celebrated tax cheats in America. Geithner comically claimed that his Turbo Tax software failed to ask him about the $42,000 dollars in self-employment taxes that he managed not to pay for four years running. The exact same defense has been rejected by the courts several times when other people tried to use it, but Geithner skated by. His boss, of course, is extremely determined to collect higher taxes from other people.

One motto for the Devil and Democrats: Just lie, cheat, shred, make evidence disappear and dance like nobody's watching.
