Valerie Jarrett or David Axelrod.
There definitely should be a written contract specifying in detail what service Sonasoft was to provide
**********
Absolutely correct. And yes, it would be detailed. If IRS “cannot locate” a copy of the contract, the company probably will have one in their own files. There are also other resources on the web that should have it as well. It shouldn’t be that hard to find.
Or both...
The hard drive is relevant. The mail server had limited storage quotas set for each user. When their quota maxed out, they either had to delete files or archive them to the local machine to make more room.
That idiot Carl Berstein said Watergate was a bigger scandal.
***********
He’s a tool. If he was really concerned about scandals in the government, there’s more than enough from Obama alone to occupy him for the rest of his life.
But Berstein is only interested in investigative reporting when the scandal involves a Republican. He has no journalistic credibility whatsoever.
If there server is being backed up, you can still recover from backups. The storage quota only affects there server’s current storage, not its archived history.
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck.....
They were only recycling backups every 6 months, so by the time the scandal hit backups were long gone.

That may be true for the worker bees but this is generally not the case for higher ups. They are usually allowed expanded storage that greately exceeds the standard limits imposed on everyone else. Managers are simply not going to spend time during their day to maintain their inboxes. They consider their time and their communications too important to be constrained.
There are also auto-archiving add-ons that off-load old emails automatically. You can easily retrieve old emails by using the enterprise vault app. Not sure if IRS was using that type of archiving or not but its worth investigating.
The IRS Commissioner testified that the contract was only for the Legal Counsel at the IRS not the entire IRS. Assuming that’s true then it wouldn’t cover the emails in question.
He did say if you filled up you agency email box it was your choice to either delete the emails or archives them on your own computers hard drive. That’s beyond stupid. He also testified that the tape back up was only incase of a major system wide crash not to restore individual or a small number of individuals whose systems crashed. It sounds like something from the 50’s. He said it would be very expensive and difficult to restore a specific email account, but he didn’t know if they tried.
I found it telling that he didn’t know which of his 5 or so so senior people working on this told him about the problem of her emails or even when. Then when asked who they were he told them that he had lots of people reporting to him. They had to reask t g e question to specify those 5 people. Tells you a lot about this guy. You have to ask the question precisely in the exact right way or you won’t get anything. I think he also used a qualifier before his answer it was probably one of them.
Until Congress can put the fear of God in this administration’s people you’ll never get anywhere. They know Holder and the administration lackeys in the MSM will only go after them if they cooperate with congress. Holder’s never going to appoint an Independent Counsel and the FUN investigation is deliberately going no where. Does the FBI have an IG who isn’t an administration lackey? Could they be brought in to investigate if the FBI is obstructing justice in the IRS investigation by slow walking it? It would take some one with big brass balls to do it
2) That was the full-scale disaster recovery backup. Routine backups would have been under a different system (Sonasoft, specifically).
She didn’t send these emails to her own computer, who else received/sent them and who is engaging in this coverup by suppressing evidence?
They still exist, somewhere...
I believe you’re right, any contract between Sonasoft and the IRS is or should be a public document that we have a right to see.
>>Most government contractors have clauses that require the contractor to turn over all data like this.
There is an interesting field for some research.
How easy would it be to get the IRS - Sonasoft contract? Theoretically, it should be easy to get via FOIA, right? It would be interesting to see how the contract terms read on that issue.
Watergate hurt no one except Nixon and republicans. IRS hurts everyone.... everyone. If we can’t trust out elections then there is chaos and anarchy.
Benghazi people died. VA people died.
Searching the internet and several hardcover dictionaries I am unable to find a word that adequately describes the lowness of this administration and its minions.
