However, it is the IRS's policy that only 500 MB of storage would be allocated to each employees emails - a policy that has been in place for years - and if this cap was hit, older emails would be moved to the employees computers. Which, as we've already established, hit a computer crash that rendered that data unrecoverable.<br /><br />So, for your conspiracy theory to make any sense, the IRS would have had to have been planning this conspiracy back when they made a policy of only allocating 500 MB's of storage space to each employees emails - in 2007.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-4769088413001111602014-07-11T05:15:53.965-05:002014-07-11T05:15:53.965-05:00@Anonymous: Like most people this Administration ...@Anonymous: Like most people this Administration are counting on to carry the water, you clearly have no idea how e-mail works, especially in government and business environments.<br /><br />The email did not exist on a single hard drive.
