I have to wonder if congress is just playing a game with us making us think they are doing something meanwhile they are all sitting in a DC bar laughing at how pathetic and spineless the American people have become.

WHAT ARE THE ODDS: Of 7 IRS Hard Drives ‘Crashing’ In The Same Month?

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 1,300. 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 power = 1 in 78,664,164,096 (that’s over 78 Billion).

In other words, 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.

It's amazing how many people think it's perfectly normal. Now factor the additional odds that the archive company was fired and that there are no backups (in violation of law) and the numbers are astounding.
 
C'mon guys, nothing to see here. The highly "trustworthy" employees of the IRS wouldn't lie to a taxpayer would they? Sorry, must have overdone the sarcasm at dinner time.
 
I don't know why people are getting wound up about this. We have big hearted all caring liberals in charge not greedy cold hearted conservatives. If we can't rust big hearted liberals this country is in deep dodo. :sarcastic:
