It was wiped clean, recycled, given to an outside contractor who then hit it numerous times with a sledge hammer and threw it into an active volcano.
You're essentially correct, but omitted a few of steps. . . The drive was sent to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where it underwent a massive Electromagnetic Pulse, it was then returned to Washington, D.C., where the platters were exposed to the unprotected bile of Hillary Clinton, which has been scientifically proven to be more acerbic than fluoroantimonic acid. It was then subjected to 200 simultaneous, non-stop recordings of Barack Hussein Obama campaign promises. Only when it was smoking, was doused in a bucket of official Harry Reid Senate Excrement. THEN, it was sent to a "Certified Major Obama Donor" contractor for further processing. . .
NEVER forget the shipping and "handling". . .
I just had a thought. Considering the potentially explosive contents of that drive, do you suppose the IRS failed to perform the proper Environmental Impact Studies, failed to file the proper permits, before they threw this hazardous waste in the volcano?
