What DID they do for those IRS contracts that they won?

From the information I gathered throughout this debacle, Sonasoft provided ONLY the SOFTWARE to be used to back-up or archive email. They did not provide any hardware.

Those who claim Sonasoft did, or even had the equipment, to store the emails are just flat wrong.

IMO, they only provided software and some hard drives from Rorke. They didn’t do the archiving on their servers. The archives resided on the drives the IRS purchased and installed in IRS facilities.

See post #4.

This is why the ‘cost’ was so low. Sonasoft sold the software to archive/backup email to the IRS.

The data was being backed up on government hardware resources.

So....the IRS either paid for something and did not implement it or...they have backups of the emails somewhere.

The backup tapes were overwritten. The IRS is so strapped for money, they couldn’t afford to buy new tape and had to reuse the old ones.

The ‘hard drives’ were likely where the Sonasoft software was contained. Assuming you are correct about the hard drives, they were sold to the IRS, so Sonasoft really had nothing to do with them after, unless it was to upload updates to their software to the drives. My guess is that they provided CD’s for updates and a tech at IRS would have uploaded them.

Strapped for money? Really?

“IRS spent $4.4 billion on IT over past five years”

“When Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee haven’t busied themselves with obsequious apologies to IRS Commissioner John Koskinen for the Republicans holding his agency accountable for abuse of power, they and other defenders of the IRS complained that the real lesson of the epidemic of hard-drive failures and data losses is that the IRS really needs more money. According to government records, though, the IRS has spent more than $4 billion on information technology over the last five years: “

.they have backups of the emails somewhere.

Doesn't matter. It's all just smoke and mirrors to delay and confuse the public.

This isn't Lois Lerner's first circus. She isn't stupid. She learned a long time ago not to put anything incriminating on record.

The only incriminating info would be in the ALIAS email account that many of the upper level management of government agencies have learned to use to protect themselves.

This is why Lois and other top IRS officials had 'closed door' meetings with Obama and staff at the White House. Not just one or two, but at least 160.

The 'obama rule' is LEAVE NO WRITTEN RECORD.

So... the public is just being sent on a goose chase. Even if someone were to recover some of those emails, nothing would be found of importance to this case. It would only help bolster their claim of innocence.

And THAT may be their next move, in this political game of chess.

I'm no computer expert, so I would like someone's opinion on the following statement:

I heard Lerner's lawyer say something like this on a tv talk show yesterday, Sunday: He said that Lerner turned on her computer one day, and the screen was blue. Does this mean anything?

He said that she called someone to check out her computer (laptop or desktop?), but they couldn't fix the problem.

Our small company provides its customers with computers. Many times PC’s have crashed, blue screen of death, etc.. you name it. Even the most severe of cases out IT team has been able to restore, or reconstruct, reimage, etc.. whatever all the affected PC’s. The most severe case the one customer was not able to recover a small amount of data. Not one has EVER lost total access to e-mails.
