The other thing to do, I used to do while investigating, is analyze the firewall logs. Go back and filter those two years and search based on her IP or node name. And report on all SMTP (outgoing email protocol) traffic. This would give them a record of every instance when she sent an outbound email. It would also provide the IP address of the recipient. Then either search the recipient client mailbox (e.g. Obama, Holder) or check server backups and/or offsite of each node’s mailbox. Of course the IRS could say they dont use a firewall. Which would be another lie or crime.

Surely they are still on the drives of the recipients.

Maybe, if they had PST files set up, but not everyone does that.

The disappearance is certainly feasible. It just can’t be accidental.

Anybody who has ever worked for a large corporation or government agency knows that “emails are forever”. Somewhere every one of them is archived...

No modern organization could operate if old emails got "lost".

If the IRS told a corporation to produce emails from 4 years back, to comply with a tax investigation, and were told "sorry, the emails were lost", you can bet that corporate officers would go to jail until the emails were "recovered".

No single “flunky” is likely to have ALL of the domain privileges required to eliminate ALL of the redundant copies of the damning emails. That’s one of the reasons why they do distributed backup.

I know this is lame but even this stuff would put someone in prison.

Now imagine what the pros can do to recover deleted files or missing data.

We see it every day in child porn cases where long ago deleted files are recovered.

Jail everyone involved starting with the top.

Exclude our resident Kenyan who’s name I forgot. He’d just pardon himself even if he couldn’t legally do that.
