IRS Chief: When Lerner's disk crashed,no one tried to recover emails from backup tape

[Little-Acorn]

The IRS has been insisting that the reason Lois Lerner's emails are gone, is because they were only backed up to a tape that was erased and re-used every six months.

So yesterday Congress asked IRS chief John Koskinen, if anyone had thought to retrieve her emails from that tape as soon as her hard disk crashed.

His answer: a blank "As far as I know, they did not."

But he still sees no wrongdoing in the vanishing of Lerner's critical emails. Nope, "not a smidgen", as some might say.

I'm starting to think that the list of things Koskinen doesn't see, is long and distinguished.

In a stunning admission under questioning from Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, Koskinen divulged that the IRS made no effort to recover Lerner’s email archive from the six month backups after her initial computer problems in June of 2011.

Koskinen had informed the committee that emails were not backed-up on a server, but on a tape that recorded emails for only six months.

So, Chaffetz simply asked, “When Lois Lerner figured out on June 13th (2011) that her computer crashed, and there have been emails showing that she was going to great lengths to try to get that recovered, why didn’t they just go to that six month tape?”

“Because that six month tape is a disaster recovery tape that has all of the emails on it and is a very complicated tape to actually extract emails for, but I have not seen any emails to explain why they didn’t do it, so it would be difficult, but I don’t know why,” replied the IRS boss.

“Did anybody try?” asked Chaffetz.

“I have no idea or indication that they did,” admitted Koskinen.

An incredulous Chaffetz then recounted, “So you have multiple emails showing she was trying to recover this, it’s the testimony of the IRS that they were trying desperately, in fact you got a forensic team to try to extract this, you went to great lengths, you made a big point over the last week about all the efforts you’re going through, but they were backed up on tape, and you didn’t do it?”

“As far as I know they did not,” the head of the IRS.

 

[WelfareQueen]

Naw....it's all a coincidence. Right?

 

[Ibentoken]

Nothing here, move along folks.

 

[HenryBHough]

When you already know what's in a box and you don't want others to come to know what WAS in the box then you destroy the box but you also should be smart enough to make it appears as tho the friggin' box never existed.

Which proves Democrats are inordinately stupid.

 

[norwegen]

Must have been lunch time when the disk crashed. Only a fool would try to separate a government worker from his tofu.

 

[Rambunctious]

New poll...76% of Americans polled believe the Lerner emails and others were purposely destroyed.

 

[Rozman]

Nothing to see here folks....
Just the Republican war on hard drives and e mails....

 

[Little-Acorn]

New poll...76% of Americans polled believe the Lerner emails and others were purposely destroyed.

And the other 24% said, "What's an email?"

How the heck would he even know?

What they should do is get the IT guys in there.

Then they can start badgering them like this did this poor schlub.

But IT guys? They would not take it.

They would go FUUUUCCCKKK YOU.

And leave.

In handcuffs.

But probably not leg irons.

 

[Rozman]

So there is a backup e mail server....And an archive server to back up the backup server.
That's how things work....

Except the IRS which has a billion plus dollar budget.

Yeah right...

 

[Rozman]

Commissioner is a huge Democrat party donor...

Not a smidgen of corruption....

 

[Rozman]

Democrats look like shit on this....

 

[jknowgood]

New poll...76% of Americans polled believe the Lerner emails and others were purposely destroyed.

That's a high number, hopefully this will inform the uninformed voter to what liberals are really like. Just think stupid liberals elected obama and still stand by him after all the lies. Lol, they probably voted in their demise.

When was the last time Congress put anyone in handcuffs or leg irons.

Yeah right...

Then they should spend some money..get a squad of Republican bought IT guys in there and recover the emails on their own.

This shit writes itself.

Haven't.

And look where that has gotten us.

Eyah.

Mention stupid liberals who elected Obama and still stand by him after all the lies..... and look who shows up.

 

[BobPlumb]

If my hard drive crashed at work, all I would have to do is go to another computer hooked to the network to get my emails. Been that way for many years. Is the IRS really that far behind in technology?

When they want to be, yes.
