Hmm, had my laptop drive die several computers ago, and even the backup disk was found to be corrupted!! Lost a book. But nobody else has ever had that happen
On several computer issues btw; with airplanes as well as hard drives crashing because of computer (not human) error, it’s reasonable to accept. Having watched the computer crud CONTRACTED by government, destroy huge amounts of data, and even lives, maybe folks should review how much of “government” is actually done by contractors, MANDATED BY CONGRESS, even on occasion “law” so specific it mandates exactly, almost to the man, who the agencies must hire for the job or product.
Last year. Before I was even in your class. And I have the paperwork from the computer shop to prove it. But don’t let that stop you from flunking me anyway.
The idea that there was a plot to crash one hard drive two years ago because Republicans might want to see it in 2014 is ridiculous on its face. If Lerner had actually wanted to remove any suspicious emails, she would have simply deleted them (like the Bush’s deleted emails about the illegal Valerie Plame outing). Crashing a hard drive on purpose is not easy. And there was no scandal at the IRS to cover up.

Democrats should be embarrassed by the government’s outrageous behavior and should be demanding full accountability from the IRS.

When we were promised “the most transparent administration in history”, I didn’t expect it would refer to the quality of the lies.

Until the next Republican administration. At which point all government agencies’ records preservation will suddenly and miraculously become perfect.
