I guess you don't have much experience with PC's we went through a rash of hard drive crashes not so long ago and it affected both popular vendors. Lost a bunch of data myself. Also I never let my mailbox fill up and clean it out regularly.

But as Ice mentioned, for ordinary citizens, this is not a scandal that the right wing wants to make this out to be. I am fully convinced that if there is any worong doing, they will eventually be caught and punished.
Wanna bet Rajoo? I have a couple of hard drives here that even Segate could not get diddly from, nor Western Digital either.

It is like if I did not like you Don and found out you had traffic ticket back in 2011. So if I could not find any other dirt on you I just decided to post on the internet the sordid details of your ticket and demanded an investigation and your resignation from PC.
Lets get this straight.

What is IRS accused of doing?.....targeting political opponents of the
administration.

It is very important that the IRS show that its hands are clean in this
respect.

Rob, I did not mean recovering data from crashed drives. I myself am a victim of this in recent months, both company and personal. Heck, I lost a 1 TB USB drive with FLAC files that I had not mirrored. For all we know, some of the crashes are legitimate.

I specifically meant emails that have gone back and forth and these will be traced eventually if necessary. At this time I am not convinced IRS was targeting just the right wing groups, only that only these were reported from the audit. But calling this a scandal is preposterous.

I'd say it's more like you found out his nephew's son might have been holding a joint.

At one point it was reported that they were investigating all groups. Regardless those 501 groups should stay to hell out of politics, they are alleged to be charitable groups. If you believe that we are having a special on the Bay Bridge all week.

IRS is accused of doing their jobs. Problem is the 501(c)(4)s and who is auditing whom that no one wants to touch.

Therefore the big boys/girls of the IRS should have no fear of exposure.

Why the foot works?
