While the Lerner-emails issue has taken so much attention, I've been able to find very little about the other 6-7 computers that allegedly crashed.

1. Who are/were the users of those computers and what there their duties at the IRS?

2. What were their connections to Lerner and/or the scandal?

3. What were the specifics of each crash?

4. When did each one crash?

I feel like these other computers are a glowing neon sign with a flashing arrow pointing at the words "LOOK HERE" but everyone seems to blinded by the Lerner computer issue.

Has anyone else thought about this?

The NY Times and Washington Post are obviously still putting together their big top of the fold, multi page, in depth exposes of this whole thing. Expect them to come out any day now.

Let's all hold our breaths.

EASILY explained.

Ya see, she belongs to a religion that celebrates Easter every Sunday, so she was just bringing her kids to the White House Easter egg hunt every week.

Geez.

As with Lerner, they attribute the unrecoverable emails to computer crashes.

Among them was Nikole Flax, who was chief of staff to Lerner’s boss, then-deputy commissioner Steven Miller. Miller later became acting IRS commissioner, but was forced to resign last year after the agency acknowledged that agents had improperly scrutinized tea party and other conservative groups when they applied for tax-exempt status. Documents have shown some liberal groups were also flagged. ... Lerner’s computer crashed in the summer of 2011, depriving investigators of many of her prior emails. Flax’s computer crashed in December 2011, Camp and Boustany said. The IRS said Friday that technicians went to great lengths trying to recover data from Lerner’s computer in 2011. In emails provided by the IRS, technicians said they sent the computer to a forensic lab run by the agency’s criminal investigations unit. But to no avail.

Wow. So they had pros sweep it clean. Gonna be kind of hard to convince any unbiased individual or Court (not that there are any) that these crashes were accidental.

I'm going to tell you what, if this crap don't change - and I doubt it will - I would have no problem with somebody of the character of Col. Allen West just standing up and saying that the Military is backing him, and he's going into Washington and start arresting the Leftist collaborators for Guantanamo Bay. Starting at the top with Obama. It's coming to that, day by day.

They have led us down the road to perdition.

All I know is that in my little company, all our emails are backed up at the server at the home office. On top of that, I run a self archive on my machine that backs up to a separate server, and my desktop. So to lose my email, my hardrive would have to crash, the mailserver would have to crash, and the data server would have to crash.

You can't tell me that the freakin Internal Revenue Service doesn't have a higher level of redundant backups than a little construction company in SELA.
