One in ten to the 42’nd power.

You’d have better odds picking out a particular proton in the universe.

Just a stupid question but didn’t her emails go to someone.

Never mind the watchdogs in the news media, is there a republican with access to a microphone who might pass your question along?

I guess not.

[nitzy]

I bet we will find that the IT person responsible for backing this data up and recovering it when needed, has unfortunately died at some point in the last several months. The new IT person will find that there was negligence on the part of the dead person which prevents recovery of the email.

There is also an element of

“Yeah, stick it to the conservatives!”

[servo1969]

IRS: Oops. Our hard drives crashed. Sorry about that.

Shocking. I’m sure Der Schwartzenfuhrer will get right on this after his next round of golf.

[Darksheare]

Yeah, 18 and a half minutes of tape versus two years worth of more than likely incriminating emails, yeah.
Crickets from the press.

[Paine in the Neck]

If the IRS IT people assert that they cannot recover these emails then they should all be fired as incompetent.

If the emails are subsequently recovered then the IT people who made this assertion should be prosecuted to the maximum.

Start squeezing them - and hard.

Remember, it was the cover up that brought down a lot of people during the Watergate investigation. Could this mean a lot of people at the IRS could lose their jobs, and both Valerie Jarrett and Eric Holder could say goodbye to their jobs?

Actually, I think that would be Das Schwartzefuehrer, but whatever!

“Do these people really think that we are so stupid as to believe this BS?”

They don’t care what you believe. They only care that they can provide a story and talking points. They know that their side doesn’t care about the truth. Their side only cares about what they see as ‘victory’.

King Obama’s communists head of the DOJ, Holder, will never allow a special prosecutor be set up. We are under the communists dictatorship of almost like terrorists.

What has set us apart from most of the world for a long time is justice and the rule of law. That's gone. Gone. obama and his followers have made Amerika unexceptional.

[tips up]

Of course. And what will Congress do besides nothing?

Bump

From what I read in one of the articles, the IRS IT may have destroyed or trashed the hard drive years ago. Deliberate destruction of evidence. Could it be that was the plan all along? Not that the Holder FBI will lift a finger to run this to ground.
