It appears that the IRS has a lot to answer for. They contend that they lost Lois Lerner's emails, dating over a two year period, forever after her hard drive allegedly crashed in 2011. However, new evidence has been released today showing that the IRS has been contracted with Sonasoft, an email archiving company since 2005. This directly contradicts the IRS's claim.
The IRS Had a Contract With an Email Backup Company - Hit & Run : Reason.com
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) said it can't provide emails sent between 2009 and 2011 that were requested by congressional investigators because of hard drive crashes.
The agency said that emails stored on dead drives were lost forever because its email backup tapes were recycled every six months, and employees were responsible for keeping their own long-term archives.
The IRS had a contract with email backup service vendor Sonasoft starting in 2005, according to FedSpending.org, which lists the contract as being for "automatic data processing services." Sonasoft's motto is "email archiving done right," and the company lists the IRS as a customer.
In 2009, Sonasoft even sent out a Tweet advertising its work for the IRS.
