Rep. Thomas Massie ( https://twitter.com/RepThomasMassie ) , who is partially responsible for this: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/06/eff-statement-massie-l...

is going to serve on a hearing about lost IRS emails soon.

Supposedly, a "crashed computer" caused 2-years worth of Lois Lerner's emails to be lost, though many emails were recovered through "other sources."

He wants to know, does anyone have any questions he should ask the IRS? He says on Facebook that he will personally review all questions sent to him.

Here's a set of questions that anyone in IT who thinks they might ever be the focus of a similar frenzy might want to consider:

(basically, it is a long list mostly of: what did you know, when did you know it, and how did you document that?)

Personally, re the e-mails, I'm less inclined to blame malice, and would look to incompetence, aided by years of patchwork backup and support processes.

Ask him if he still wants to get rid of healthcare for poor people. How are you guys linking to tea party assholes?
