Don't know why it's taking so long to come up with an ironclad alibi for all these crashed hard drives and missing emails. It's patently obvious:
The computer used by 'Typhoid Lois' was compromised with an undetectable rootkit that sent out a hard drive-killing virus to EVERYONE with whom she exchanged email. Once infected, it was imperative that these drives be 'recycled' at the nearest grocery store bottle & can return machine in order to offset sequester losses caused by the evil Republicans.
It wouldn't have happened had not Ted Cruz shut down the gubbermint.
Besides, it's Bush's fault...
No, She's wrong. Republicans are the friends that dictocrats can have. They both have a common enemy called the Tea Party.
nope, not a smidgen of illegality here at the IRS.???
It’s really like they use a box of 3x5 cards for all their work and if they lose the box, they’re done.
Gotta start all over.
Continuity, Disaster Recovery, ISO 9000, etc are instituted throughout large organizations.
Otherwise they’d never be able to work on large projects.
Here’s how this scam could work with Microsoft Exchange. Set the users mailbox up to have very limited server storage, say 100MB. Implement a retention policy on the mailbox so that any messages (in all folders) over 10 days old in the server mailbox are deleted. To save any email history, the user would have to archive to a pst file on their desktop. From there, if a user needs to lose some email, it’s a pretty short journey to destruction. By the time an investigation commences, hearings are held, subpoenas are issued, etc., emails are long gone, even from tape backup if the policy is designed so. That so many disk drives have been recycled isn’t a coincidence, it’s standard operating procedure.
Much better to be busted for incompetent document retention than for wielding the FEC or IRS as a political weapon.
Next we are going to tell us that a virus got into the system and destroyed all the records, except those when they decide to go on an IRS witch hunt.
LOL - you see liberals as they really are... you're a man of few illusions...
There isn't a single agency that isn't corrupt. NOT ONE!
The question has NEVER been asked if they have lost ANY taxpayers information. I’m sure they have backups and archives all the way back to the epoch.
They can pull that sh!t up in an instant if they want too.
If I’m ever audited this is my defense:
All of my tax documents were scanned and uploaded to the IRS. Don’t have it? I guess your hard drive crashed again. Seems to happen a lot over there anyway.
