According to the testimoney of that lyin’ head of the IRS, the backups to the servers were being made to tape drives.
Because of the horrible anti-IRS GOP budget cuts, the $1.8BILLION budget for IRS IT was just so paltry they couldn’t buy more blank tapes.
Hence, they only kept backups for 6 months. Adios Lerner emails!!
Oh, those paper printouts were also shredded or not kept according to law either.
So it goes, laws are only for the little peeps, not the ELITE!!
But they could afford bonuses.
