[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 2534929, member: 3371"] The IRS is claiming that although they have Lerner's online mail ([I]her exchange mailbox was limited to 1GB in size[/I]) IRS employees old mail was archived by agency policy to local disk drives and it's that archive file that was lost in the crash. It's a plausible story as far as it goes. What it ignores is they are supposed to be running email retention software on their exchange server in order to comply with FOI requests and it sounds like maybe they aren't. I can see why might not back up employees local disk drives but there are several software solutions that run on exchange servers to preserve incoming and outgoing mail. I think investigators are looking in the wrong place though. If Lerner believed she was doing anything unethical or illegal she probably wouldn't have used the internal agency mail system to do it. She would have used an external mail system of some kind that was seperate from IRS internal systems. You might remember how a hacker gained access to Sarah Palin's Yahoo email account in 2008 and the bridgegate emails that are giving Chris Christie an ulcer are from Bridgette Kelly's GMail account. Investigators should be serving subpoenas on yahoo.com, gmail.com, and hotmail.com to find out if Lerner had an account on their mail server and if so does it contain any IRS related correspondence.
