[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do know that the IRS cancelled the contract with the company responsible for conserving emails shortly after Lerner's computer crash?[/quote]

[b]You do know that the GOP is constantly attacking the IRS budget.  Right?[/b]

And you do know that the contract was not abruptly canceled, but the term ended August 31, and they did not renew it, so the timing was driven by the contract.  Right?

I always wondered what the birthers did after Obama released his long form birth certificate.  Now I know.  [/quote]

Not pp -
The IRS budget is being attacked with good reason. When you spend tax payer money on Star Trek “training” videos, excessive conference spending, and questionable bonuses to employees, your budget should be under scrutiny.  Don’t forget - this is TAX PAYER MONEY they are spending on these things.  Their budget is money that is coming from the TAX PAYERS in this country.  [/quote]

OK but that good reason can result in contracts being canceled.  Most companies do not retain backups indefinitely and it is not surprising that the IRS wouldn't.  [/quote]

The IRS requires the taxpayers to maintain records for 3 years, I believe.  I think this requirement would also apply to the agency itself.  Last night, one of the Congressmen noted that this agency spent over 48 million in training, conferences, and travel.  No doubt, some of that training, and possibly travel, was necessary.  However, I am fairly confident that a large amount of that funding could have been used to update or maintain records, or even hire a company to do so.  [/quote]
