...but that headline, with “ALL DOCUMENTS” in caps. Its as if the headline writer is surprised the AG would want *all* documents relating to the database directory. Jeez.
Not looking for answers. They are sarcastic rhetorical questions. (of course).
The State Senate should tell her to start writing her confession.
ok here you go. one of your employees deleted the database file directory. we were able to recover the files by reconstruction the directory. done.
oh by the way, you’re under arrest for obstruction of justice.
LOCK HER UP!
State AG needs to stop this, yesterday.
Sure, you can have those documents, right after you deliver ALL SUBPOENAED MATERIALS that you are illegally withholding.
Deleting the data would be a clear crime.
I would think the County’s Attorney’s office would be obligated to follow up with an investigation of who deleted the data and prosecute the deleters.
State senate outranks the Maricopa County attorney just like the board of supervisors. We have a GOP governor and attorney general, but they are both a couple of mice.
They don’t answer subpoenas. Why does our side always jump to their whistle?
What are they so scared of?
Nothing. This is how Dems fight. They fight for every inch of the political battlefield 24/7/365. I can understand how some Republicans might not see that given the flaccid nature of the GOPe.
The audit team is getting closer and closer to the truth!
"This removes election related details that appear to have been covered by the subpoena…[t]his suggests that the main database for all election related data for the November 2020 General Election has been removed.”
And then states that:
"Our clients delivered the server exactly as it was kept by the Maricopa County ElectionsDepartment. Nothing was deleted, or added, from the server when we prepared it to be sent to the Senate pursuant to the Senate’s subpoena."
But apparently didn't read the technical report published by those same clients at the election office that said:
"In accordance with the standard database archival processes, the data files (MDF file type) were moved to a backup hard drive in February to ensure the server had sufficient space to perform the statutory mandated March Jurisdictional Election."
The county attorney's statement appears to be true when carefully parsed. No doubt nothing was "deleted" when they prepared to send the server to the Senate, since the database in question had already been removed by the election office in what they contend was normal operations.
But that doesn't make the statement that the files were deleted untrue. Moving the files from the server is the same as removing them from the provided server from the perspective of the person receiving the server in response to a subpoena.
Of course that's lost on the panicky pearl clutchers here at FR who are ready to step off the ledge at any seemingly negative report.
Blow her off and plow forward. Get finished while using lawyers to delay her.
Use Senate powers in every imaginable way to clip the wings of her office.
Funny how the County Attorney’s office never got excited about this but couldn’t be bothered to look into the clear irregularities of the actual election back in November.
Funny that.
The county told straight up lies about the Audit team. The media then reported what the country said and by telling such lies they damaged the reputation of the audit team. Even a bunch of Freepers believed the lies. Some Freepers still believe the lies and are permanently damaged.
So I say sue the County and sue the media. Two can play that game.
