EITHER - the WH/IRS is stalling for time -

OR - The House is now interviewing low level IT folks.

I hope it’s the second one...

No doubt the “recovered emails” will be as real as Obama’s birth certificate.

There is no such thing as “only scratched” if the drive platter is physically damaged. Has there been any confirmation? That is serious damage.

If she had large PST file, its likely going to be difficult to recover them intact, of at all. Why do they still have her HDD? It should have been recycled as soon as they decided not to do recovery. Seems odd it is suddenly showing up.

...IRS information technology staffers are on the docket to testify.

Good, that's been needed from the get go. Maybe the ITs will crack this wide open.

It stands to reason that morale at the IRS is low. High level Obama Administration appointees, in collusion with career Democrat partisan thugs, operatives and hacks have misused the awesome power of the IRS as a weapon against their perceived political enemies and even on people who simply disagreed with them.

These same people have brought down a fire storm of scrutiny and oversight on the out of control IRS which has put an end to their plush life styles, is cutting back on their pay and may end the IRS as we know it.

Don’t forget the bounty reward for an IRS whistle-blower.
This scandal need to be resolved and those guilty placed in jail.

Time for the gallows, b*tch

Used to work on disk drives many years ago when they had up to 14 platters, magnetic heads and removable platters. A scratch just seems odd to me. Are they saying the head came in contact with the platter and scratched the surface ? We used to call that a head crash. The magnetic head is supposed to fly above the platter and just sense changes in the magnetic fields in the platter (ie - the data).

We never really worried about scratches, since it was difficult to get anything besides the head in between the platters. And you never put anything but a head in their. Granted if you screwed up installing a head, you could scratch the platter a little bit I guess, but that was why you did not got to work drunk.

And these devices are/were magnetic. So a scratch wont affect them as a scratch would affect an optical device such as a cd. Or even a mechanical device such as an old audio record. Unless the scratch was deep enough to remove the magnetic storage material.

Scratch was not a terminology we used much back in the day. Just a head crash was what we called it. And the platter would have been destroyed back then. And these devices back then had removable platters. That way you could move disk media around.
