What’s the big deal? It’s just a few minutes of tape.
You don’t say! A veteran IT professional tells TheBlaze that the IRS’ claim that the agency lost two years’ worth of former IRS official Lois Lerner’s emails is “simply not feasible.”

How convenient…now try telling the IRS you lost your receipts, but you can trust me!
That should go over swimmingly, if you don’t drown first.

Unmitigated disaster, in real time.
In all the years I’ve lived this always happens like some dark magic in every government scandal ever seen.. Before computers it was missing files.
Why? Wynne and McGuinty made it happen. They must have had the same “accident” that deleted some crucial e-mails.
Good times.
The Kleptos are not even trying to hide it any more.
Dry goods, medicine and ammo.
Of course if such a loss of data is possible, then ” No Mr IRA official. I did file my taxes, I overpaid, where is my refund?
What? My confidential records are gone?”
Just wait for it – when this obvious BS gets laughed at enough they’ll “find” some backup tapes, but lo and behold, there’s an “18/1/2” gap that just coincidentally is where the missing info is!
Was the contract to supply the IRS with said servers & support, a publicly tendered contract?
Wouldn’t the requirements of that contract state how secure and how many redundant copies need be kept?
Wouldn’t the company managing this for the IRS have an offsite storage? It isn’t as though the building was burned down…
Lies, all lies, all the time.
The anti-President.
A year later the IRS says, “the dog ate my homework”… the Onumbnuts gang are really a pack of effing idiots if they think this is going to fly… Wheres that other asshole, Holder, why isn’t his department investigating the Obarry goon squad hunkered down in the IRS? Oh yeah, the DOJ is just as corrupt as the IRS. Obviously, the e-mails are a damning indictment of the rogue administration occupying the WH most likely implicating Jarret, Oblama, Holder and who knows who else in this criminal scheme. The gangsters better come up with a better lie than this piece of garbage.
The worrisome thing is how they’re not even really trying very hard to hide their lies. After all, they don’t have to. Years of practical experience have taught them that there will be no consequence. As such, why go to the effort to be cunning and concoct plausible, carefully nuanced untruths when off-the-cuff bald-faced whoppers will do? The only restraint is giving their water-carriers something they won’t burst out laughing at.
This indicates true desperation, they feel cornered. They seem to be past even trying to make the excuses and obfuscation sound plausible. Computer files can’t plead the fifth amendment, so they simply have to be hidden or destroyed.
Anyone in government and its bureaucracy knows full well that all enterprise email messages are archived. That said there’s little to prevent anyone with nefarious intent from using an external email service for the purpose. Temporary email services abound – easily obliterated with a mouse click.
I prefer the description: “complete and utter bullshit”.
But I’ve been in IT over 30 years, too.
With one year to work, could a small team of very-good IT pros manage to find and erase (securely) each and every one of LL’s e-mails for the time in question? It would mean that they needed access to all originals and copies of server drives, archive drives, and backup tapes. Could those have been mounted for remote access with read/write privileges? Could records of that access be deleted?
Only problem with this scenario is that the conspiracy is big enough that eventually somebody will talk, though it may take decades.
