Frankly I'm stunned that the IRS would even trot this out as plausible.
I work for a fortune 500 company and my hard drive is backed up to the corporate servers on a continuous basis. The program is always running in the background. And we've been doing that for a decade at least.
If this should somehow turn out to be true, I'm a lot less worried about the NSA.
One could do some interesting analysis on the frequency of hard drive failures in general, then decide how reasonable it is that the IRS would not be automatically backing up their senior staff drives all the time. (for us it's not senior staff, it's everybody with a computer.)
Wow! You work for a Fortune 500 company?! How cool. And how totally irrelevant to the topic! But thanks for sharing. I am now so much more likely to believe everything you say and trust your expertise.
In your cool company, is it necessary to provide evidence of wrongdoing before someone gets suspended or fired? I'll bet it is.
I'm a little stunned that you think the IRS is stupid enough to try and lie to the American people in such a way. Anyone who works in a cool company like yours should know that there are electronic trails that follow people around. It would be very foolish for anyone to submit a lie regarding lost emails and hard drive crashes.
I'm a little disappointed that someone who works for such a cool company could miss the part where nobody has established Lerner even knew about the "targeting" prior to the crash. I'm also a little saddened by the fact that someone with your obvious smarts can ignore the fact that thousands upon thousands of documents have been provided to investigators and that so far....they got a big, fat NUTHIN.
This isn't a scandal to begin with. Therefore, a loss of emails doesn't indicate a damned thing.
Why don't you tell the IRS you lost your documents when they audit you.
Oh! What an interesting thought! Man..I haven't heard anyone say anything like that before. You must be the first one. You should call AP or something. Maybe they will interview you.
What do you think happens when a person who lost everything in a fire gets an audit notice? Or...to be simpler for you...what happens when someone unintentionally loses income and expense documentation and then gets an audit notice? Got any idea?
