“The Watergate hearings went on for months and months and eventually we’ll get to the bottom of this.”
Yeah, but those hearings were being run by the RATS! There is a difference, sad to say.
For a $13,000 contract, you don’t need a dog ... you just need one flea from that dog ... LOL ...
wow!
The only way all traces could disappear is a multi-staged, highly coordinated effort, over time, across multiple people and organizations.
I won't detail all of the technical and process intricacies... but every time a user or system administrator performs any activity on any server - a log entry is created. Additional meta-data is captured with the event so that events or problems can be identified, reversed, or diagnosed. So, who, or whatever (user or system process) deleted email data - it would be in the syslog files. If the system policy deleted the emails, we would know what user set up the system policy to illegally delete data, mandated by law, to be retained. Busted either way.
So the original data, plus multiple incremental and full backups of the original data, system logs, incremental and full backups of system logs, offsite backups of said data, offsite backups of system logs, and offsite backup logs of the facility that is hosting all of the backup data - would have to be meticulously wiped!
Log files get backed up too. There are process compliance reasons for log files to get saved - to see who logged into a system, accessed data, changed the system policies, etc. Log files are not very large compared to the size of the process or data elements they track, so they're very valuable and cost effective to keep for security and audit reasons.
So the bottom line is that the emails exist elsewhere and anyone who tries to alter system internals - like deleting data, altering backup policies, editing log files, deleting traces of accessing system data - it's all captured for various reasons and backed up offsite. Deleting offsite data would require a conspiracy with the offsite facility across multiple people and systems - because all offsite maintenance is tracked by user and system, logged, and backed up - just like the original system data.
Wow - that was some pretty selective “loss” of e-mails
They’re not backing up IRS’s e-mails for $13,000 ... LOL ...
This sounds like a contract for one or two computers,for the entire country and who knows who the computers are for.
I had no idea they'd post so large. Here's a trimmed down version:
Bingo. That is the likelihood that is chiseled in stones. No pun intended. They don't have them.
Rest assured those will follow. Remember, those scum bags said 25 to 30 million Americans will have to be killed off. I do not think that will happen for awhile yet, due to the 2nd Amendment. The key word is "yet."
Yeah, it looks like they’re giving it away. Ha!
Seriously though, what do you think their service would cost?
I love this...
Life is good...
There is a word that is not used as much now,that I thought described the IRS chief as I watched him on TV. The word is “smarmy”. Sounds a little like “slimey”
However, this particular story destroys the claim that the emails are gone forever if they were archived by an outside company. And beyond that, as many have noted, some of the recipients may well have copies of the emails in their archives unless their computers also got the Obama CoverUp (TM) virus.
That's ValJar's powerpoint. Delay, delay, deny, delay, deny, hide the evidence, deny, attack, delay, deny, PARDON!
We should get the metadata from the White House and Senate for the time period requested.
We need to look for links back to Lerner, or the other six IRS employees in trouble.
Obama cannot claim executive privilage, as we are only looking at Metadata.
The NSA has told us, over and over and again, that the NSA does not read e-mail content, they simply look at metadata.
“They’re not backing up IRS’s e-mails for $13,000 “
No they’re not. It is a software license or yearly maintenance. It is not a service. Heck, that wouldn’t come close to buying the necessary storage.
Haven’t you heard? The darnedest thing...the server they were using to store the IRS info crashed! They shredded the hard drive though for recycling, because they are environmentally conscious.
lets hope, like Watergate, there’s a deepthroat out there....
