They are lying b/c those emails lead right to the white hut and its occupant!
I’m tellin’ ya...the next excuse is going to be that “The Cloud” was struck by lightning!
When they lose all of our tax returns ... I’ll buy their BS explanation about the emails.
You know, maybe some IRS IT folks need to be subpoenaed and prosecuted too. Bet they would sing to high heaven before taking one for “Losin’ Lois”
The emails that are missing do not constitute government business subject to record keeping.
Any correspondence regarding Criminal violations of IRS and Hatch Act regulations and abuse of official IRS and DOJ power to punish political opponents and obstruct justice simply cant qualify as normal government business subject to record keeping regulations.
That has to be obvious to anyone
And who gets audited and who gets denied is very definitely within the definition of "federal record". We have moved from "oopsie, oh, I guess the evidence is all gone!" to "evidence tampering and obstruction of justice". Book 'em.
90,000 employees?!?!? There’s the problem right there. Cut that work force by about 75%, then there’d be plenty of money to handle email storage.
The IRS service dogs ate the emails.
And how much money does it cost to print and store all the email correspondence generated by 90,000 employees?
I’m sure it’s well over 10 million dollars.
They didn’t they just deleted the evidence of their crime so that they wouldn’t have to face justice, and so that it wouldn’t lead back to their Boss Obama.
It’s time the IRS be subjected to its own rules, Guilty until proven innocent.
>>Exit question: Where are the hard copies of the e-mails that Lerner and her colleagues were required to print of their official communications?<<
Probably in the same lake where all the boating accidents occurred./s
Subpoena the vendors and integrators that charged the taxpayers millions for a failed system.
Federal agencies such as the FBI run enterprise email systems. That is the government standard. Prior to that, they ran site email and the messages were stored on each site’s email server. Typically an MS Exchange server. The implementation date of enterprise email might be in question. All agencies did it at different dates. The Army mandated it over a year ago. Other agencies were before that. But backups of all email servers are mandated and diligently maintained as required by federal code.
Any agency that has records that would be subject to legal scrutiny are required to store and archive them. Some are just saved off to magnetic tape as part of a nightly backup and put in a safe, Iron Mountain or wherever. Other more important ones are stored in a Records Management (RM) systems like Documentum which makes them easily searchable. It also makes it easy to maintain their retention dates. Quite often, they are stored offsite at one of the government’s Federal Records Centers. Records Management is one of the government’s essential duties. Lots of money, staff and resources are dedicated to it. They have disaster recovery plans and must pass regular audits ensuring that they can recover lost data. I previously worked on an RM project. It is incomprehensible that an agency like the IRS, who maintains financial info & investigative records and must be able to produce them for audits and court proceedings does not have the ability to recover email.
Its all a lie.
rotflmao!!!
This is an excellent example of what the administration thinks of the population. As far as they are concerned all are easily fooled dolts to be told anything. It will be believed and accrue to the greater glory of fearless leader and his Marxist muslim friends. Dog ate my homework...Barbra Streisand!!!
So, yet another law is being broken-what is the GOP going to do about it except huff and puff?
