Day 8: IRS still can't find Lerner's hard drive
wnd ^ | July 18, 2014 | Garth Kant

Posted on 07/19/2014 2:33:06 PM PDT by TWhiteBear

The IRS can’t say with certainty what happened to the computer hard drive used by Lois Lerner, or exactly where it is now.. On July 11, Judge Reggie Walton ordered the agency to find out what had happened to the hard drive... Manning said Lerner’s hard drive was then “delivered to the IRS Criminal Investigation Division Electronic Crimes Forensic Laboratory for additional efforts to recover data from the malfunctioning hard drive.. testimony revealed another bizarre turn in the saga: The technician, or, specialist, who tried to recover the data from Lerner’s hard drive on that June day in 2011 may have been blind.

Manning testified, “According to the Specialist, prior to joining the Internal Revenue Service, from 2004 to 2005, formal Microsoft training was completed through Lions World Services for the Blind …”

The testimony didn’t indicate how blind, if blind at all, that person may have been. That specialist also appears to be highly qualified and extensively trained, as revealed by Judge Walton’s order that all the qualifications of those who worked on the hard drive be reported.

The Lions program appears to accept either those who sight-read or those who use Braille, and an IRS web page shows it has worked with Lions since 1967. ... TWB

Welp, I guess that settles it then, doesn't it? Nothing more to see here. You Republicans don't want to be accused of being mean to blind people, do you?

Something in the public water supply in DC. Gotta be.

Well, I guess this does prevent the Congressional investigators from making sarcastic comments like , “So the guy who checked the drive would have to be blind to not be able to pull the data off of it”

Is he deaf too?

I can hear the testimony now.

“Mr. XXXX, can you please identify the person who handed you the disk drive in question?”

The technician tried to recover the files but didn’t see anything.

First we have Watergate, now we have IRS Gate

The dude that said history repeats itself first as tragedy, second as farce sure knew what he was talking about.

Sweet Jesus.

The hits just keep on coming.

I must’ve barfed up most of today’s grub and grog laughing at this.

Please, stop taking our elites seriously. They’re clowns.

This is all a big straw man. Emails are kept on servers. The fact that her own desktop computer hard drive might well have failed is irrelevant. Even if it were true that it did crash, still, there are other places where the emails should be, which should be the topic of the discussion.

A good friend of mine is blind. As I learned through him and others over the years, blind people are far more capable and adaptable than is commonly assumed. They also tend to cultivate a proud determination to be independent, capable, and self-supporting. It is quite possible that the blind IRS computer tech who examined the hard drive is equal in his abilities and performance to anyone else in the field.

Could be 100% totally blind and it would not make a difference. There are braille terminals that the blind use to read computer screens. Since most data recovery is done in text mode anyway, this is irrelevant.

They are blatantly and obviously lying on the level of arrogance, disrespect and mockery. The question is will anyone have the balls to stick it right up their ass or is it going to be the usual wet noodle approach? That’s the thing about the left: They know the RINO party will continue to hide under its desk, so they continually shoot up their middle finger to the country and that includes the King Kenyan. He’s committing blatant acts of Treason, helping foreign invaders spread around the country, and what is the RINO party doing about it? Absolutely nothing. The only people doing anything about it are the citizens who are taking to the streets protesting.

People keep focusing on the wrong thing — it DOESN’T MATTER what happened to her hard drive.

Emails — in any company, especially a key government agency— RESIDE ON SERVERS, which are also backed up. These can be accessed from another computer, as long as she has her login and password.

I don’t understand why someone with some tech knowledge brings this up and investigates that.

Even if her hard drive crashed, — at a place like the IRS they would be backed up daily, so the content on them would NOT be lost AND as I said, even if she downloaded some emails onto her computer, they still reside on SERVERS.

AND NOTE THIS:

It seems IRS has records going back to 1791, but couldn’t keep Lerner’s emails for more than six months!
