“Hard drive crashes continue as we speak,” Koskinen admitted at a House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee hearing when asked if any computers had recently crashed under his watch.

It is really amazing. Every time you ask for another IRS employee's e-mail his hard drive crashes. You need to stop asking.

“There’s no evidence that there were records destroyed.”

“I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, there's no way you can prove anything!”

[PATRIOT1876]

Would it be wrong if everybody used this excuse when the IRS comes after them?

“I have no idea what my income is. All my information was on my computer. No backup. So sorry”

THE HARD DRIVES ARE CRASHING

I wouldn’t be surprised if Koskinin’s hard drive
crashed in the immediate future and no information
could be recovered from his cooling corpse.

[C210N]

You need to stop asking.

We could save Billion$ by not asking. Each time we axe it, it costs us thousands in replacement hard drives and more lawyer time in House hearings. By not axing (TM), we could even make a dent in the deficit!

[Paine in the Neck]

“Hard drive crashes continue as we speak,” Koskinen admitted

The first honest thing he's said.

“Hard drive crashes continue as we speak,” Koskinen admitted.

"If you want a full list of the hard drives that will crash in the near future, simply tell me who's drives you are planning to subpoena. Those are the ones."

[Diogenesis]

Which drives crash depend upon the arriving
Duces Temens with the subpoena.

Issa and Cummings will continue to destroy
America as the Law is pushed further into the ground,
as they delay, delay, delay, and the murders
and fraud and felonies continue.

What do they care? THEY ARE EXEMPT.

[Gay State Conservative]

THE HARD DRIVES ARE CRASHING! THE HARD DRIVES ARE CRASHING!

[Bullish]

I guess for once president BullCrap wasn’t lying when he claimed there isn’t one smidgeon of evidence..... (That we’ll ever allow you to find)

[Fledermaus]

Koskinen needs to be under a jail.

[Enten]

“Hard drive crashes continue as we speak,” Of course they do, but professional systems warn of upcoming failure and back up accordingly.

[Signalman]

My hdd crashed recently and all of my tax data went with it.

I’m sure the IRS will understand.

[Iron Munro]

Isn’t it fortunate for the IRS that only computers used by administrators are suffering an abnormally high rate of hard drive failures?

The computers used by agents that collect taxes and perform audits seem to be holding up much better.

[catfish1957]

I am convinced this leads right back up to the POTUS. Too many coincidental uh ohs.

[Iron Munro]

Ebola has evolved and the digital strain is now attacking IRS computers.

[KarlInOhio]

but maintained that there’s no evidence that the IRS intentionally destroyed records.

Because the order to destroy records was kept on the .... wait for it ... hard disk.

Just imagine if the IRS's internal payroll records were kept on as unreliable of hard disks. "I'm sorry, but no paychecks again this week. Another hard disk crashed and someone stuck the backup tape to the office refrigerator with a magnet."

[Don Corleone]

but maintained that there’s no evidence that the IRS intentionally destroyed records.

Naturally. They destroyed it.

[RightGeek]

No major business in the USA would think of using that as an excuse.

[Robert357]

It is going to take people going to jail for serious amounts of time to put a stop to the criminality that is going on.

[newbie 10-21-00]

Serious question. What does a hard drive have to do with email? I’ve accessed my old emails from a tablet in Costa Rica. Unless my computer turns itself on when I’m overseas, I don’t think a hard drive has shinola to do with email.
