    Who's next, the Pentagon? Let's see now, the VA, the State Department, the IRS, the EPA, and even the White House. No one has ant records of anything. Perhaps we need to shut down this broken down government and just start over.

    The only time I have had consistent failures in purchased computer media (blank DVD's) was when they were "government archival standard."

    That said, the "public servants" involved in this case are liars who should be impaled on the White House lawn in plain view from the oval office.

      The excuse is juvenile at best, her e-mails nor the EPA e-mails are contained on the user’s hard drive. The data is located on the Exchange server in the data center, only a catastrophic failure could wipe the e-mail for all users of the system. Selective deletion of two years of e-mails for a single user is deliberate, no questions about it. The e-mails exist somewhere, ether a backup, archive service or recipient e-mail boxes; it is bullshit excuse. They need to unplug all Exchange servers and personal PC (possible cached e-mail files in old profiles) and send them all to an IT forensics expert for recovery. If the Republicans had a backbone, this would have already been done. Hell, even deleted e-mail are not truly deleted from the system, just marked as tombstoned to be overwritten as space is needed or reorganized the SQL tables. This argument is akin to a child making the argument that their homework wasn’t done because their dog ate the home work but the child doesn’t have a dog and the teacher knows it.

        Well, to be accurate, with Outlook they can be transferred to the local harddrive. That would not be the default for gov't systems, and there are public records laws that would dictate that these e-mails would need to be recorded and backed up to a location that is retrievable. Thus, they were either violating the law in not maintaining their records properly, or they are obstructing justice by deleting public records. Either way, they're in deep doo doo.

          It is possible that they setup the system in such a way that e-mail are stored locally, i.e. smtp and not mapi. You wouldn't need Exchange then, kind of the point of an Exchange server. No one does this and could easily be determined.
