stevenash Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 The odds of winning the FLorida lottery are 1 in 22,957,480 The odds of winning the Powerball is 1 in 175,223,510 The odds of winning Mega Millions is 1 in 258,890,850 The odds of a disk drive failing in any given month are roughly one in 36 The odds of two different drives failing in the same month are roughly one in 36 squared, or 1 in about 1300 The odds of three drives failing in the same month is 36 cubed or 1 in 46,656 The odds of seven different drives failing in the same month (like what happened at the IRS when they received a letter asking about emails targeting conservative and pro Israeli groups ) is 37 to the 7th pwer= 1 in 78,664,164,096 ( over 78 billion) In otherwords, the odds are greater that you will win the Florida Lottery 342 times than having those seven IRS hard drives crashing in the same month. Do any of the above odds suggest the odds of the left being truthful regarding these circumstances?

smitty Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 http://www.zdnet.com/is-the-irs-lost-email-story-plausible-7000030684/ If everything that happened to Lerner is/was plausible -- then why did she plead the fifth?? PLUS -- Lois Lerner has been held in contempt of Congress. Doesn't sound like an innocent person to me! Does it to you?!

Not really, but the odds of losing the emails are apparently not even close to the stuff cited on the conspiracy sites. Just wanted you to see what computer gurus said about it.

tvc184 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 http://www.zdnet.com/is-the-irs-lost-email-story-plausible-7000030684/ From what I read in the article, it is plausible only under the basis of the IRS IT people being so incompetent and bungling. This is a federal law enforcement agency, not some fly by night company selling items on the internet. How does the agency that is responsible for collecting all taxes and fees for the government so irresponsible that it can't even do what a small company can do? The only explanation that seems to negate a cover up is that the IRS must have the most incompetent employees in the country. Kind of gives you that warm fuzzy feeling in trusting the government. So do you think that they are truly as incompetent as the article that you posted claims they had to be in order to have it believable or was it a cover up?
