Well, talk to the press about it. So far as Issa's knowledge in IT? I haven't the slightest idea. But I'll guarantee you they will do all they can to get to the bottom of this, as they should. Did the irs director lie before the committee when he stated they had her emails archived?
You are trying to detract from the seriousness of this, as all good sheep do, rather than admit to the ramifications of what has happened here One day the right will have the Whitehouse again, and you damn sure don't want this to happen to you. Or if you truly think it is fine, let's just plan on doing it, as you have no qualms your tax payer information is given to those that by law have no right to, and can have the IRS ask you what you ate today, who your friends are, have you prayed today, where have you given speeches, what did they say, what books do you read, and then the fbi can show up at your door to just say hi, how are, and if you have a business you can expect OSHA to show up monthly with union thugs in tow, even though they have never in 10 years found a violation, have the IRS show up and take over a desk to audit your personal and business expenses once a month. You can then just set that desk aside with their name on it, since it will happen monthly. And in all this, nothing is ever found. It is only because you are registered as a Democrat. I can't wait.
sorry, I don't play in those games....too off the wall for me, even if repubs were in power and these things were happening....
I think we need to stick with what we know and derive our own scenarios from there, but they have to be realistic and in context, and not rants of what ifs....and in no way do I mean to be rude towards you, it's just the way I am....I can't even watch sci fi unless the movie is realistic in my head!!!
So, let's go back to what we know....learner's computer was fried back in 2011, LONG BEFORE there was any IRS tea party probe....
was Learner's replacement aware that Learner's hard drive from 2011 was fried when he was interrogated by Chavetz.... probably NOT, at that point....there'd be no reason for him to know that....
did he do what he could to retrieve them? Seems like he did, by going to those computers of other employees who communicated with her, and getting the 24000 lois learner ''lost'' emails from there....
BUT....if this acting IRS Head was aware of a back up server having them and chose not to use this b/u server.... then THAT would be sneaky and deceiving....
LIKEWISE, if Issa, and Camp, and Hatch who have all spoken up on this ARE AWARE of the law of the land and KNOW there are back up servers for all gvt emails and are not telling us this in order to sensationalize this situation, THAT is sneaky and deceiving and devious as well....
