The Pravda Press has
taken support for our Dear Leader to new heights. The article in the link below flunks the Nixon
test so badly it hurts. If you change the names from the Chicago Prodigy in
Chief and friends to Richard Nixon and his minions, there is no way you can
imagine an article making excuses for the current administration. I work in IT. In order to lose emails under
normal conditions, someone has to delete them in multiple places. There is no
way that a crash on a single PC wipes out all copies of a year's worth of
emails, let alone 2 years. In private business, Sarbanes Oxley records have to
be retained for 7 years. What retention of IRS records is required by law? Does
IRS truly reuse backup tapes every 6 months? If so, they have moved back to the
Nixon era from a technological point of view. So the best interpretation of the
known facts is that the government can't run any technological operation.
Backing up an email system is not rocket science. So the best interpretation
leads to the conclusion that the government should be radically downsized to
keep them out of activities they have no ability to perform. If we take off the
article's rosy colored glasses, the facts reek of cover-up. The article reeks
of a search for any possible scenario for plausible deniability, no matter how
unlikely. I had no idea that Bloomberg is a front for the Democrats. I don't
see Woodward and Bernstein or a Pulitzer Prize for investigative journalism in
this article.
In the private sector,
the lack of a legal hold on the emails would be a crime. If there was a legal
hold, how did all of the email backup tapes get erased? So obviously there was
no legal hold, or at least none that was actually complied with. I think the
best possible interpretation of the known facts is that the government is
incompetent technologically. If that's the case, then government needs to be
radically downsized to remove functions that it is technically incompetent to
perform. If instead this is the cover-up that I believe it to be, then people
ought to lose their jobs, starting with Koskinen and ending with most of the
management of the Information Technology email functions at the IRS. The ranks
of the fired should include all IRS civil servants above GS-12 who don't know
enough to backup an email system. Since this is unlikely as long as the Chicago
Hack in Chief is running things, Congress should reduce all of the civil
service managers responsible by 2 pay grades, and cut the IRS budget to match.
