OK Frank, how can the IRS destroy a hard drive when they are legally charged with keeping records of everything? You are crazy if you think it was not deliberate.
But calling someone looney somehow changes the facts? It doesn't Frank.
The facts are that corporations and government agencies destroy hard drives all the time. They are within their rights to do so. Keeping records has nothing to do with the hard drive. It has to do with a backup system that is supposed to record every email sent and received on the system. Saying it was deliberate is idiocy on your part. It works about as well as deleting your emails when they have been backed up or in other words it doesn't work at all. We still don't know if the emails were backed up or if there has even been any attempt to retrieve them.
We only know that her hard drive crashed, which hard drives do all the time. I have replaced more than 10 in the last 10 years on the systems I use personally or for business.
Everyone that Lerner sent emails to in the government would have a backup of those emails if the system worked properly. That is to say it would be backed up in 2 separate places. It is only an issue of spending the millions of dollars required to find the emails.
Of course, in the Bush administration they purposefully went around the back up system which would be considered a violation of the law.
