      "Earlier this week, Ways and Means Republicans said as many as six IRS employees involved in the scandal also lost email in computer crashes, including the former chief of staff for the acting IRS commissioner."

      Convenient... They sure have a lot of "computer crashes".

      I heard this on the news the other day and I just had to laugh out loud. Beyond a RAID set problem, I've not had a hard drive crash on a workstation in my 3 1/.2 years here.

      Hard drives are the most frequently failing component that I've seen so far.

      Every shope I've worked in in the past 6 years I've maybe seen 1 or 2 drives a year. But those systems were abused. I haven't seen one just die without some form of abuse. Not saying it couldn't happen, but it's very unlikely. The fact that they are using this type of excuse for a personal machine (which you and I know they have to have copies of the emails) is down right lying.

        @Bill-Kindle i have been at my company for 2.5 years, we are a metal fab shop and I have had 3 hard drives go out in time i have been here. For several drives to "die" in the same week is very suspicious.

          You are probably running apps that are constantly reading/writing data , and under load. I would expect failures to occur.

          A user at a desk just sending emails and what not every day should not have the same results.

            @scottalanmiller So having worked in large enterprise, how many copies of those emails would you suspect exist somewhere? How stinky is this pile of poo for you?

            Really stinky. This should be a one in a million risk scenario.

                That guy is an #^&@$#^ in his responses to Ryan's questioning.

                      @Bill-Kindle i can't help but smile at this one. Ryan is from my state, which is awesome. He is correct, the IRS expects us to keep all of this information but yet they cannot keep 6 months of emails? wtf. Do as we say but not as we do?

                        This guy is inexcusable. The smug arrogance of J. Kishken is remarkable.

                          Interesting. They do have an outside archive service.

                            Yeah. The number of fails necessary to pull off destroying that data was insurmountable.
