I realize that our government has some tremendous resources

However, there is no way they could have a vault that large to hold that much bush

And the six other IRS workers who are being investigated, their computers crashed and poof, all of their emails are gone too, oh well. And the government is still as of yesterday maintaining that the reason the emails are gone is because their desk top computer hard drives were damaged (!?!), possibly the lamest excuse ever. It’s hard to believe they could utter that defense with a straight face, even the pinkos on CNN were laughing at that explanation.

Obama does not HATE third-party Liberal-Tarians, like FITS News.

Remember guys, this TOTALLY is NOT GrandTango’s blog, it’s just a huuuuuge coincidence that someone writes exactly like him and he’s just a big fan of this site. Oh, and what do you know, they both hate FITSNews! No connection whatsoever, so don’t you dare insinuate it!

Oh, and GrandTango is a professional journalist. For real. Like, he’s won awards and stuff. Years in the industry. Respected name in his field and everything. In fact, he graduated valedictorian from Mom’s Basement University with a PhD in Everything. Booyah! Beat that, you Liberal-Tarians!

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go pray to my lord-god Obama to redistribute some of T’s extremely generous salary from the totally real job he definitely has.

Does GrandTango live in his ‘Mom’s Basement’ you piece of shit fucked up liar? Where is the proof?
From another blog apparently FITS contributor Buz Martin lives with his ‘Mom’s’ and she owns the house and pays the bills? Sounds like a good son and he apparently don’t have to hold a job just like you!
Who cares? I just despise a liar like you that lies and spreads disinformation on every topic and subject that FITS provides an article on.
You accused Mark Sanford of multiple FELONIES tonight. Hope you can prove it. Look what happened in Myrtle Beach when a former legislator and and current lobbyist decided HE had been defamed and sued The Sun News AND a reporter. Despite a ruling by the judge that Mark Kelley was a ‘public figure’ he was still awarded $600,000!
Fuck you.

Who cares? To the victor go the spoils, which is the norm unless the wrong side is the victor. So what if they used all of their influence to do whatever to the 501(4) groups. In the grand scheme, what difference does it make? How is that really different than the GOP is various states gerrymandering districts in order to get control of the state houses, then using that power to suppress minority voters? Anyway, after reading what Grand Tango said about anal sex– it is all about perspective.

“A bad hard drive, like other broken Information Technology equipment, is sent to a recycler as part of our regular process.”

Really? “Standard protocol” is to destroy evidence of one of the most egregious abuses of federal power since Richard Nixon occupied the Oval Office?

No, standard protocol is to destroy and/or recycle broken or outdated IT stuff. That’s standard protocol, uh, well… Everywhere. Typically organizations that deal with very sensitive data (financial stuff, law stuff, healthcare sector stuff) make sure to thoroughly wipe the drive and even physically damage it to make sure it is in no way readable.

You can suspect the multiple drives becoming “broken” in the first place, sure. You can even question if the IT people were in on it. Even so, destroy/recycle policies are the norm, so I don’t understand why you’re pissed with that comment.

The issue is NOT the disposition of a crashed hard drive! The issue is what happened to the emails and the ‘official’ record was NOT on an individual work station or hard drive. Every organization (and I’m sure every federal agency has requirements for data collection and storage) have archiving protocols and redundant storage on multiple servers. If these emails are truly lost, it is most certainly a deliberate act with criminal intentions!

That is true. Even in the non-defense related firm I work with, everything is saved, IMs, files, emails, everything. Don’t think for an instant those files just vaporized. If they disappeared, it was a deliberate act.

Curious why you say that. Not being confrontational, just doesn’t seem prudent that an agency like IRS would actually depend on a PC hard drive. Maybe I’m missing a point somewhere (maybe a few IQ ones, at that)

Hardware changes are slow to proliferate. Backup in hardware and software solutions percolate slowly through IT departments that often operate domains independently. Older forms of backup (tape) may coexist with more modern forms (cloud, RAID 5.. offline server farms with multiple duplicate sites).. changes cost lots of money, small changes in software or hardware may cause incompatibilities that render old copies unrecoverable…

if an IT department uses RAID5 and one drive fails, they can simply replace the bad drive and keep going. It fixes itself. But if more than one drive fails, they’re SOL. If there’s a fire, or an electrical malfunction, it may fail.

Using VMware, you can combine several drives into a single volume.. that’s bad because you lose one drive, you lose all the information on all the drives on that volume. Reconstruction is problematic. With the introduction of 3d head technology 4TB drives became cheap, so that many IT departs started using a single drive for an entire server on their domain.

If an IT department uses rotating backups using tape, then someone clears their old messages, the next time the rotating backup tape is used, that history is lost… even if the drive is still good. If the drive fails, and they don’t save the tape from rotation, the next time the tape is used, the history for that drive is gone.

It’s expensive and complicated – usually beyond the skillset and budget of an IT department manager, to insure that every byte of information is saved on the domains he’s responsible for.

And I’ve only scratched the surface of the problems they face.

I wonder if that metadata has from/to information in it. If so, they should be able to use that to subpoena the emails from the receiver.

In an incredible turn of events, all forwarded e-mails related to the subpoenas were destroyed on all hard drives in the U.S. government simultaneously. The Obama administration blames a combination of Edward Snowden, Chinese Hackers, and Anonymous for the coordinated attacks.
