Tea-Party Attorney: IRS Lying About Missing Lois Lerner Emails

[UncleBeer 244]

Were Lois Lerner’s allegedly lost emails actually destroyed? An Ohio-based trade association, the International Association of Information Technology Asset Managers (IAITAM), isn’t so sure, and they don’t find IRS commissioner Koskinen’s explanation of their loss very plausible.

IAITAM administers internationally accepted certifications for information technology professionals. According to the group’s standards, if Lerner’s supposedly malfunctioning hardware was properly destroyed, there would be records of it.

Dr. Barbara Rembiesa, president of IAITAM, questions whether there is documentation of the destruction of the files. Who performed the work, says Rembiesa, is important because not all IT professionals are IAITAM certified.

“The notion that these emails just magically vanished makes no sense whatsoever. That is not how IT asset management at major businesses and government institutions works in this country. When the hard drive in question was destroyed, the IRS should have called in an accredited IT Asset Destruction (ITAD) professional or firm to complete that process, which requires extensive documentation, official signoffs, approvals, and signatures of completion. If this was done, there would be records. If this was not done, this is the smoking gun that proves the drive or drives were destroyed improperly – or not at all.”

The uber IT geeks say it's a pack of lies. The preznit and his minions wouldn't lie to the public. Would they?

I use to be an IT geek. The IRS uses Exchange. The information store resides on a server. The only way a user can keep e-mails local is to Archive them to their hard drive. Still the IS is backed up and all E-mails are stored somewhere.

The line about only being allowed so many gigs of messages on the server is true. However even the most prolific users can go a month or better without archiving, meaning all messages are captured in the information store and backed up. Not only that the person sending them or receiving them has them in their IS.

A single user HD causing a massive loss of E-mail history is total BS
