IRS tech experts: Lerner’s hard drive only 'scratched,' not destroyed

[JoeB131]

All the TP groups were approved...the numbers and delay are easily explained by the fact that the new TP wanted so many. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZHater dupes! Also Pub defunding behind all these scandals lol...

Wait a minuite. Joe says they were denied because they were trying to engage in fraud. So which is it?

Yeah, good question. If they were all approved, what is your complaint again?

[peach174]

Well, if Fox News says it - it must be true...

Fox reported it.
It was actually said by a Tech at the committee hearing.
You should watch some of it on C-Span yourself Lakhota. You have a computer.

 

[peach174]

I'm sure Faux Noise etc etc will fully report when it's proved there was never any "scandal"...lol

So do you actually believe that 6 hard drives crashed at the same time?

No they weren't.
There are still TP groups that have not been approved.

Works on the assumption I care.

I don't.

Point was, the IRS did it's job - you got a good point ,... they certainly did do their job in stifling oppossition to El-Presidente. Some of the malarkey you pop out with Joe ... I mean really ...I almost feel embarassed for you .

Guy, you did not lose the 2012 election because some Tea Bagger group couldn't get a fraudulent tax exemption.

You lost because you nominated a Weird Mormon Robot that kept reminding people that it enjoyed firing people and it had more money than you did.

Dude - That's Irrelevant - the Obama Regime used a Government AGency to unjustly harass opponents -their activities demonstrated preferential treatment for lefty leaners and harassment of right leaners .

There has been absolutely nothing in evidence that backs that up.

You don't care about facts. Yeah, we get that. That's what makes you one of the worst posters on this site.

No of course not - because her hard drive got destroyed .

The odds of winning the Florida lottery are 1 in 22,957,480.
The odds of winning the Powerball are 1 in 175,223,510.

The odds of a computer disk drive failing in any given month are roughly 1 in 36. The odds of two different drives failing in the same month are roughly 1 in 36 squared, or 1 in about 1,300.

The odds of three hard drives all failing in the same month are 36 cubed or 1 in 46,656. You get the picture, I'm sure.

The odds of seven different hard drives all failing in the same month (like what happened at the IRS when they received a letter from Congress asking for all the emails concerning the targeting of conservative groups) are 37 to the 7th power or 1 in 78,664,164,096 (that's more than 78 billion).

In other words, the odds are greater that you will win the Florida lottery 342 different times than having those seven IRS hard drives all crashing in the same month.

Now if we were to put this body of evidence before a jury of 12 sane people, logic would have them conclude this does not smell right at all and should be looked into.

Now if we were to put this body of evidence before 11 sane people and one liberal, we would hear from that liberal, "But, dude, it could have happened, there is a 1 in 78 billion chance it could have!"

I have come to the conclusion that Issa really does not want to get to the bottom of anything. He is content to keep throwing mud against the wall, hoping something will stick to Obama or Hillary or some other Democrat. As long as he can keep this investigation on the front page....or at least the GOP front page, he has a vehicle to get the masses up in arms and also a means to denigrate Democrats.

Think about it....It is a very good plan. How long will it last? Not sure, but it is one of the things that the GOP is still hanging on to in order to survive. The IRS scandal and Benghazi....bridges to nowhere....

Thats true - Nobody believed it -because the Media pounded Nixon Hatred into the public incessantly - but her story is much more believable than this IRS Crap

Anyone with knowledge of how that particular tape system worked {NIXONS} isn't surprised at the gaps, which were many not just one. It only takes a second or two to wipe out alot of tape during rewind, if someone also happens to step on the pedal on the floor while this is taking place. That it was accidental as the secretary claimed, is quite plausible and the timing of the erasures isn't known.

It is NOT plausible even to the least knowledgeable of people, that seven hard drives "crashed" all of which just happened to be under subpoena - [Midnight Marauder from another Forum]

You had lots and lots of them, eh?

I have worked in IT for close to 20 years.

Hard drives fail all the time.

That is why backups are done and regularly.

A better question is when was the last time these machines were replaced?

How old is the technology?

Is IRS IT properly financed?

If you want gold star service?
