The IRS’s dog maybe ate the hard drive?
You’re first but not by much!
Hard drives and backup tapes.Even teenagers know that backups are rotated in at least 30-day cycles.
As soon as the IRS funny business was discovered, all existing backups should have been seized for evidence, and replaced. That necessity was a decision legally owned by many agencies outside the IRS, including the Department of Justice.
The House should suspend everyone from every agency responsible to insist on legal record-keeping required by law, until all the criminals are found. And the IRS budget should be frozen.
There IS a limit to the gullibility and patience of American citizens!
