The environmental agency is having trouble locating emails belonging to a former agency employee and pulling information from his crashed hard drive, House members revealed Wednesday while questioning Administrator Gina McCarthy at a hearing on complaints of mismanagement.

“What is it with bureaucrats and public employees … the hard drives crash?” asked Rep. Kerry Bentivolio (R-Mich.).

He and others on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee questioned McCarthy about missing information related to the committee’s investigation into the potential environmental impact of a proposed gold and copper mine in the Bristol Bay watershed in Alaska.

“It sounds like we have another missing hard drive,” said Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.).

McCarthy said her agency hasn’t given up.

“We’re having trouble getting information off of it and are trying different ways,” McCarthy said.

These is weird. A real coincidence. I came home today to find out my dogs ate my guns.

BUILD A BIGGER FEDERAL PRISON!!!!!ASAP!!!

[Chode]

statistically, it's a 1,and there aren't enough zeros in the universe to 1 chance that ONLY the emails sought from the IRSS and the EPA went missing...

[OkiMusashi]

What does that make it, now? 8 hard drives wiped out by subpoenas?

If I were a Pentagon dude, I’d be all over this. Why spend all of that money on EMP weaponry when all ya have to do is subpoena our enemeies? It’s a whole lot cheaper and it works GREAT!

“We’re having trouble getting information off of it and are trying different ways,” McCarthy said.

With blow torches and wrecker magnates.

Stonewalling is so much easier when you control the Justice Department.

[CommieCutter]

Good grief. No wonder there were so many leaks during the Bush admin. The gov’t is just filled with these loyal leftists and nothing more.

[Eagles6]

Why should they produce anything? There are no consequences for their criminality.

soetoro sticks his middle finger in America's face every day and the Republicans do...nothing.

Obama is laughing his ass of at the Republicans. Nothing will or really can be done with our current Republican leadership. They can have all of the dog and pony show hearings they want and Obama and his administration will continue to be smug, lose e-mails, take the fifth, etc. The Republicans need to grow some balls! As the guy on the Kelley File said tonight, withhold the money from various groups like Homeland Security, IRS, EPA, etc. Even the Executive Branch. They can also impeach the Cabinet jerks that are thumbing their nose at congress by not cooperating, etc. Republicans are scared of the Media, Obama, and the liberals activist. It is too close to the next election so they will play these dog and pony shows and nothing gets done. Boehner will get slapped down as fast with his lawsuit so why do it? The Dems and the Media will be dancing in the streets when the court slaps him down. don't give obama an opportunity to spike the ball!
