“A Department of Justice attorney told a Judicial Watch attorney on Friday that it turns out the federal government backs up all computer records in case something terrible happens in Washington and there’s a catastrophe, so the government can continue operating,” Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton told Fox News’s Shannon Bream.here's no mention of a judge being involved but I'm having a hard time imagining the DOJ admitting anything like this after harping continuously that with the destruction of her hard drive, all her e-mails were permanently lost. At least without some federal judge mentioning jail time to someone.
The DOJ lawyer goes on to say that extracting the e-mails is difficult beyond human ability and therefore they don't want to be bothered with trying. Of course this suggests that if anything catastrophic ever happened to Washington, the recovery technology would be the first thing permanently lost.
Too much to hope for I'm afraid. If there was money involved, the government would likely arise from the ashed like the Phoenix and no one's 1040 would be a day late.
