Looks like a spreading epidemic of crashed computers and lost backups.

It's not just Lois Lerner's e-mails. The Internal Revenue Service says
it can't produce e-mails from six more employees involved in the
targeting of conservative groups, according to two Republicans
investigating the scandal.

The IRS told Ways and Means chairman Dave Camp and subcommittee
chairman Charles Boustany that computer crashes resulted in additional
lost e-mails, including from Nikole Flax, the chief of staff to former
IRS commissioner Steven Miller, who was fired in the wake of the
targeting scandal.
