Are You Buying It?
IRS lawyers confirm that a crashed hard drive from the computer of Lois Lerner was destroyed. That means there is no hope of recovering the emails from the former head of the IRS tax exempt division. In a court filing, the IRS says the drive was shredded three years ago, after two sets of technicians tried to retrieve the data. IRS lawyers say the agency always destroys hard drives that potentially contain confidential taxpayer information. U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton had ordered the IRS to explain what happened to the hard drive. Lerner is at the center of a House investigation into whether the IRS slowed down tax exempt applications from conservative groups.

How can anyone with an iota of sense believe ANYTHING our gov't says today? The people working at gov't posts are incompetent lazy liars interested only in graft and self enrichment.
I think that young student had it all correct, "It can't be fixed without starting all over again." And, I'm hoping for the revolution that'll do it.
So the NSA stores all of our text messages, phone calls, emails, etc. but the IRS is trying to say there is no way to recover her emails? Do they think we are really that stupid? The emails are sent through a network, probably secured, which should leave some trace.
What happened when IT repaired her PC ?
The IRS' argument is that her drive failed and the backup taps were thrown away after several months.
Ok lets say this is true....It basically proves that they did at least have a backup at one time which would have been used to restore her data when they repaired or replaced her PC.
After her PC was repaired it would have been setup on the backup schedule again.
Bottom line is that if there was a backup then the first thing IRS IT Dept. would have done after repairing or replacing her PC was to restore her data from the backup. Which would mean that the data exist on her current PC.
No one seems to be asking about this.
Anyone who believes this BS, is just plain crazy. Sure they can recover the emails - do they want to - NO.
And the hard drives of all the people she was corresponding with crashed too??????
only 3 hard drives out of all those hard drives?
