According to the House Ways and Means Committee, the IRS has "lost" two years of emails belonging to former head of tax exempt organizations Lois Lerner. The IRS doesn't have a record of her emails to outside groups or government agencies from January 2009 through April 2011, conveniently encompassing some of the same time when tea party groups were being targeted for extra scrutiny and possible criminal prosecution


quote:

The IRS says the loss of emails is due to a "computer crash" and claims emails from or to Lerner from the White House, Democratic members of Congress, the Treasury Department, FEC and Department of Justice cannot be located. They do however have emails belonging to Lerner that she sent to other IRS employees.

Likely? Probably not.

Feasible? Actually, it entirely could be. Do any of you keep emails for years on end? I sure as frick don't.

I need a techie to explain why it's nearly impossible for those emails to be "lost" or "unrecoverable".

Simply deleting an email from your inbox/outbox does not delete it from the server.

No. Most companies keep an archive of every email sent and received. Companies also back up their servers to other servers to prevent from losing data. It's not logical to assume one person's emails just disappeared.

No, it can't be. Deleting emails from your local drive does not delete them from the server, nor from the backup.

The Feds have a policy - they HAVE to keep their e-mails, and for a lot longer than just a couple of years.

There is virtually just one way to lose e-mails like that in the federal government, especially for an official as high up as Lerner - and that's to do it intentionally.

So no, it's not 'feasible'. But keep spinnin'.

Of course not. They treat the American people like they are idiots.

It is more than a mere policy. Records management and retention (which includes e-mail) is federal law.

Welp. Case closed. If they were archived and now they're not, it must be an act of God. Let's all move along.
