I agree, the image's not as important as the laptop. It does say the image was removed from his workstation not his personal laptop

The case agent told us that he followed the ASAC’s instructions, but that this request concerned him because the audit trail of his initial processing of the laptop would no longer be available.

The case agent clarified that none of the evidence on the Weiner laptop was impacted by this, explaining that the FBI retained the Weiner laptop and only the image that had been copied onto his work station was deleted.

What troubles me is, why is the case agent troubled ? They could have tried to get security, reimage and recreate the audit trail ?
