Her emails to the White House and other outside agencies were vaporized by a computer glitch. I believe and I am sure Roger35 does. Is there anything these people will not do?
"Not an Ounce of corruption", right Rog35? If she had spelled out precisely how/when/where they destroyed the evidence that went missing, mentally weak socialists like Rog35 would still blame anyone but the current regime for the in-your-face corruption. Just remember, good 'ol Rog is a pure and simple troll. There's no way anyone can legitimately be as stupid as he appears on this forum.
You tellin' me that the IRS doesn't back up its' computers, ever?? That's the biggest bunch of bs since someone took scissors to Nixon's tapes.
OK, so the originals are corrupt( the email data and not the people). where are the backups or are we to believe that 2 years worth of data backup are corrupt as well?
I'm ok with there not being backups as long as they are not paying for the staffing or equipment to do said backups. Are all of the backups for two years missing or not? If it is just the backups of her data then something would seem to be amiss at minimum. If it was done before that does not mean it is right now but I understand the need to deflect such an embarrassing and possibly criminal situation. "What difference – at this point, what difference does it make?"
So this is a lot worse than Alberto Gonzales complete and utter lack of recollection about any of the Attorney General Operations when he testified before Congress? I remember watching that poor man and hoping a limo was picking him up after the testimony because there wasn't a chance in hell he could remember where he parked his car.
The IRS maintains an Internal Revenue Manual, and chapter 10, section 3 of that manual deals with standards for using email. Those standards, which apply to “all IRS employees,” make it clear that paper copies of all emails must be maintained. Section 3 states that, “All federal employees and federal contractors are required by law to preserve records containing adequate and proper documentation of the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, and essential transactions of the agency.” “If you create or receive email messages during the course of your daily work, you are responsible for ensuring that you manage them properly,” it adds. “The Treasury Department’s current email policy requires emails and attachments that meet the definition of a federal record be added to the organization’s files by printing them (including the essential transmission data) and filing them with related paper records.”
Uninformed, I'm sure it was oversight that you forgot to provide the link to that text. The Link Did those clowns at The Blaze bother to ask if those specific rules mentioned in that article were in place at the time in question? I'm going out on a limb here and guessing that they didn't make the effort. The Link
It's not really an excuse. I was pissed at corruption of using political motivation as primary hiring criteria in the AG's office and letting Karl Rove decide who to prosecute based upon the most cynical political motivations. Just wanted folks to know that abuse of executive power didn't originate in 2008.
Some talking head on the radio said; "let's let a special prosecutor find those missing emails". They're not "lost". If the media wasn't totally in bed with Obama, they'd be digging them up right now. Emails don't just exist on one user's hard drive. They have to pass through a series of servers to be delivered . They're out there and can be found if "someone" doesn't obstruct the search.
Croc I don't think of you as a hard core Dem. You seem to actually think issues through. But you have seen on here that there is always the cry that Bush did it too OK, so how does that make what BO is doing or not doing ok? These are horrible events going on NOW. Excusing them away doesn't do anything to help matters now.
The "lost emails" is a legit point of concern and I'm guessing that "losing" them was deliberate and pretty complex if no actual trace remains. We all ought to ***** when lying and obfuscation are official policy, not just when the "other" party does it. I defend Obama a lot on this board because while his politics is to the left of me, he's a centerist, not a wild-eyed liberal and not so ideologically driven as, say, the Texas Republican leadership. I try to add a different perspective to this board and there's plenty of shrill criticism supplied by others. When it comes to competence, leadership, integrity, negotiation, I rate Obama about a 3 on a scale of 1-10. He's not a good president, but he's far from the worst ever.
Uninformed, Forget to post the link from another hack website again by accident? The Link What are the odds that those people bloviating in that article, err, column know much computers, much less how backups are performed? You know the clowns who generate help desk calls like thesel? The Link Particularly the clown who said this:
