Just another coincidence I am sure.
Does anyone really buy all this crap?
Oh plz..,is everyone on acid these days in DC and the media?
Who destroyed her instant messages?
Who destroyed the computers of those she sent/received emails from?
BULLSTALIN
Something in the public water supply in DC. Gotta be.
Well, I guess this does prevent the Congressional investigators from making sarcastic comments like , “So the guy who checked the drive would have to be blind to not be able to pull the data off of it”
Is he deaf too?
I can hear the testimony now.
“Mr. XXXX, can you please identify the person who handed you the disk drive in question?”
The technician tried to recover the files but didn’t see anything.
Sweet Jesus.
The hits just keep on coming.
I must’ve barfed up most of today’s grub and grog laughing at this.
Please, stop taking our elites seriously. They’re clowns.
A good friend of mine is blind. As I learned through him and others over the years, blind people are far more capable and adaptable than is commonly assumed. They also tend to cultivate a proud determination to be independent, capable, and self-supporting. It is quite possible that the blind IRS computer tech who examined the hard drive is equal in his abilities and performance to anyone else in the field.
Could be 100% totally blind and it would not make a difference. There are braille terminals that the blind use to read computer screens. Since most data recovery is done in text mode anyway, this is irrelevant.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
People keep focusing on the wrong thing — it DOESN’T MATTER what happened to her hard drive.
Emails — in any company, especially a key government agency— RESIDE ON SERVERS, which are also backed up. These can be accessed from another computer, as long as she has her login and password.
I don’t understand why someone with some tech knowledge brings this up and investigates that.
Even if her hard drive crashed, — at a place like the IRS they would be backed up daily, so the content on them would NOT be lost AND as I said, even if she downloaded some emails onto her computer, they still reside on SERVERS.

AND NOTE THIS:
It seems IRS has records going back to 1791, but couldn’t keep Lerner’s emails for more than six months!
Records of the Internal Revenue Service [IRS]
(Record Group 58)
1791-1996

They want everyone to keep there eyes on lerners harddrive, instead of the servers where the emails actually are location. Switch and bail.
Perhaps a blind illegal alien. That would be icy on the cake. Let them eat cake...lol
Thank you.
No offense but blind means he was an affirmative action hire.... He seems on the young side therefor more pliable. He has the best job he will ever get. Lots of bennies. Handicapped tend to be Obama-voters. He is not going to jeopardize this job.
I am being harsh. He might be playing this 100% honestly.
What they fail to say is that the blind guy (if true) would have had a full time handler (yes, a fully paid full time handler). Saw it once before in the government where the government hired (you guessed it) a blind programmer. That was in the days before speech/text and the handler read the programs back to the programmer. Some GS-18 had an orgasm of success noted on his bonus papers I sure.
The issue I haven’t seen raised is this: When Lerner’s hard drive crashed, all the info would have been restored from back-ups onto the newly-installed replacement hard drive so she could continue her work without the huge inconvenience of having to start over from scratch. Why not subpoena all the records regarding the hard drive replacement and get testimony from the computer techs that actually did the work.
Better yet, throw Lerner in jail for contempt until such a time as the IRS produces all the materials and information congress needs.
Scooter Libby must be hella pissed about the disparity.
Let me see if I understand this correctly.
The claim is being made that taxpayers are supporting an organization which is called "the IRS Criminal Investigation Division Electronic Crimes Forensic Laboratory"
... and we are being asked to believe that such organization actually performed a forensic analysis on Lerner's hard drive,
... and that the laboratory personnel did so
... WITHOUT RECORDING THE SERIAL NUMBER OF THE DRIVE!
This is the most NON-credible claim I can imagine being made about an organization with "Laboratory" in its name. I see more subpoenas heading the way of the IRS.
