Attkisson On Missing IRS Documents: If The Emails Really Are Lost, ‘That’s Quite A Story In Itself’

“These emails are not stored on a signal server or a single computer, so if there were a crash of a hard drive or some sort of system failure, they would still be retrievable. According to [John] Koskinen, the IRS Commissioner at the time, he told Congress that emails were stored offsite. That jives with people who said emails were backed up daily. There is a responsibility on the part of government officials to retain the data, make sure that is and can’t be lost in the system. If it’s true that the emails are lost, that’s quite a story in itself,” she said.

Talk about hiding the smoking gun! This takes the cake!

I have been working in IT for close to 30 years now filling the role of either a Network Administrator or CTO. This is laughable to think people would actually be naïve enough to even think this is a plausible explanation. Yeah we have multiple disaster recovery methods with emails stored on the server that are backed up daily. We lost 2 years worth of backups. What a load of crap.

Federal law specifies multiple levels and media backup of all electronic communications. Any "crash" or other event triggers several levels of mandatory recovery actions and reporting involving numerous IT agencies and contractors.

IOW there is zero probability this data is "unrecoverable" UNLESS deliberate actions violating federal law were undertaken to discover and sequester or destroy multiple levels of backups. >Jeff

Of course the sob's are lying. Do they really think in this day and age that anyone above the age of two doesn't know the backups are backed up?
The emails are out there. And that slack jawed, mouth breathing, half breed, drug addled sodomite in the white house wants to make damn sure they never see the light of day.

this tyranny is now in some kind of absurd overdrive. ..It's a good topic to bring up in conversation though, to see if the person you're talking to is a totally brain dead zombie believing this crap or not.

Why don't they just call the NSA? They have every email and text I ever sent.

Good luck on getting the government to investigate itself.

As soon as they start squeezing the shoes of lower and middle level managers, they'll learn a lot.

Lock up a few people who recently got real offices or administrative assistants, and they'll sing like canaries.

Introduce them to Bubba or Bubbette, and see how much they really know. Then put them back in the cell.

Thanks, Bubba!
