Is Search Too Hard?
August 26, 2014
I find the readers who send me links to the UK Daily Mail stories helpful. Are these referrers easily fooled?
The story in question has a Google friendly headline:
‘It’s all been a big lie!’ Obama administration lawyer now admits ‘missing’ Lois Lerner emails WERE backed up but claims it’s too hard to search for them”
The US government is a busy beaver when it comes to search. You can explore USA.gov at your leisure or seek information on myriad dot Gov Web sites without my inputs.
Here’s a passage from the write up. You determine if it is on the money:
‘The Department of Justice attorney told the Judicial Watch attorney on Friday.’ Fit ton said during a Monday afternoon Fox News broadcast, ‘that it turns out the federal government backs up all computer records in case something terrible happens in Washington and there is a catastrophe, so the government can continue operating.’ The catch, he added, is that the DOJ attorney also claimed ‘it would be too hard to go and get Lois Lerner’s emails from that backup system.’
This search and retrieval stuff seems to be difficult. Perhaps these folks should turn to a real expert like Dave Schubmehl, the Arnold surfer for real insight?
