Nothing to see here...

Lois Lerner in 2013:

"I was cautioning folks about email and how we have had several occasions where Congress has asked for emails and there has been an electronic search for responsive emails -- so we need to be cautious about what we say in emails," Lerner wrote.

"Make sure we don't put anything questionable in emails since Congress can ask for them and what we say could end up biting us in the ass since it's all recorded except for the emails that were accidentally deleted from my computer"

(yep, run on sentence)

Link to just a few other government employees that have stated something similar (especially when they are also being investigated).

Shouldn't take you too long... being commonplace and all.

Pretty much.

There is always the strong potential for some partisan hack to take something out of context and make it sound bad when, in reality, its basic common sense stuff.

I never put anything in an email that I didn't want saved for posterity so to speak. If I had something that I didn't want or felt needed to be discussed over email due to the way they are tracked, I did it in person.

Just me being paranoid and all.

Would you consider yourself a partisan hack?

I would consider you one amongst other things. I would also consider you obese and a terrible golfer.

Let me ask you: if her purpose was to make sure there are no emails showing she does bad things, then WHY DID SHE ASK BY EMAIL?

More much ado about nothing.

Saw this post pretty insightful:

The odds of winning the Florida lottery are 1 in 22,957,480.
The odds of winning the Powerball is 1 in 175,223,510.
The odds of winning Mega Millions is 1 in 258,890,850.

The odds of a computer disc drive failing in any given month are roughly one in 36. The odds of two different drives failing in the same month are roughly one in 36 squared, or 1 in about 1,300. The odds of three drives failing in the same month is 36 cubed or 1 in 46,656.

The odds of seven different drives failing in the same month (like what happened at the IRS when they received a letter asking about emails targeting conservative and pro Israeli groups) is 37 to the 7th power = 1 in 78,664,164,096. (that's over 78 Billion)


In other words, the odds are greater that you will win the Florida Lottery 342 times than having those seven IRS hard drives crashing in the same month.

They crashed in the same month? I hadn't heard that.
