#1 This is before the Exchange Server blowed up? Or after the Exchange Server blowed up? Or does the IRS use some proprietary snap chap like mail system?

WTF? I mean WTF? This is stupid, like Mark Steyn says "They're laughing at us now". But mind you, the inter webs never forget, I n due time someones going to the slammer.

#5 It's a near certainty that the NSA has copies of all of these emails, but will never admit that. Also, yesterday there was a report that the IRS was using an email backup service. Focus on that. Forget the hard drive, it's a dead letter and a distraction at this point.

#6 I wonder if damaging Lerner e-mails might be among the Snowden documents? Then the Russians could use them to keep the US from interfering in their adventures?

#7 It is getting to be the case that the only way we can get real true information from the Feral Government is to get it from Snowden.

That is a sad state of affairs.

#8 These are hardened Marxists. They will not apologize for any of this. They have to be removed from power.

#9 The only thing that will fix this is jail time. Nort country club jail, but PMITA federal penitentiary. Problem is the person who is supposed to do that is the AG. Who is as crooked an AG as has ever filled that office.

#11 Oops, no, the IRS canceled the contract with the email backup service right after Lerner's drive crashed. How convenient. This is not incompetence.

#12 IRS CANCELLED Contract with Email-Storage Firm Weeks After Lerner's Computer Crash

"But Sonasoft's six-year business relationship with the IRS came to an abrupt end at the close of fiscal year 2011, as congressional investigators began looking into the IRS conservative targeting scandal and IRS employees' computers started crashing left and right."

Time to start fitting the IRS leadership for prison blues.

#16 My hard drive could crash, and it has before, but copies of emails I received are still on the comcast server. Knowing who sent/replied to my emails would be a finger pointing to where my sent emails went.

#17 The IRS closed out its contract with Sonasoft on Sept. 8, 2011.

Lois Lerner's computer crashed in June of 2011.

The emails should be available then? If not there is a huge conspiracy going on in our Federal government that requires a huge flush.

John - If it's all the same to you, hows about we proceed with the "huge flush" regardless of the conspiracy ?
