I read some story that the drives were smashed while in Capitol Police custody. So, not smashed by Awan's and "kept at home," but seized by the government, and smashed by the government.

More than one computer is involved too, and I haven't unravelled the various reporting on which agency seized which hardware.

A laptop used by Imran was hidden in an unused crevice of the Rayburn House Office Building" and was found by Capitol Police
computer hard drives from the home of Imran Awan [reported as though smashed when taken, and taken directly from the home by the FBI]

Apparently the hard drives were first discovered by a Marine Corps veteran after he rented a house in Lorton, Va. that belonged to the Awans. Upon moving in, the Marine found a trove of abandoned computer equipment in the garage, much of which had been destroyed, and called the FBI to take a look.

Well, that changes my thought that no drives were found "smashed" outside of government custody.

Maybe the report I read was just out of confusion, maybe conflating the stashed laptop (taken by Capitol Police) with the busted up hardware found in a home rented out by the Awan's.

I thought I read one account that said the hard drives were recovered intact??

can’t put my finger on that post now. sorry.

There is a missing server according to one article.

I vaguely remember an article talking about an off site server.
