REPORT: Recovered Arizona Election Data Was “Clearly Deleted” — Dominion REFUSES To Turn Over Passwords
enVolve ^

Posted on 05/22/2021 9:24:51 AM PDT by A.M. Smith

OAN has a report out today explaining that auditors have successfully recovered the databases full of voting data, but Maricopa County officials and Dominion still refuse to turn over the passwords to the Dominion voting machines.

It now appears the information that was allegedly deleted from election machines in Maricopa county has since been recovered.

According to Ben Cotton, the founder of one of the companies hired to carry out the audit of Maricopa’s 2020 elections.

During a hearing in the Senate on Tuesday, Cotton, founder of the digital forensics company CyFIR, a subcontractor on Senate President Karen Fann’s audit team, said he recovered the files after properly configuring the hard drive where the data was stored.

“I’ve been able to recover all of those deleted files, and I have access to that data,” Cotton said.

Cotton also says that he discovered evidence that that files were “clearly deleted”.

And this is where the rubber hits the road...

Will the state attorney general press charges?
If not, will the county da press charges?
If not, will the Senate press charges?

If not, then it will be time for the third type of action.

What are the 3 types of action, you ask?

First, positive action, speak to the party and try to work it out as civilized people.
If that fails, then legal action, call the cops, press charges, and sue.
If that fails, then lever action, on my trusty 30.30......

Seems that Democrats can refuse anything and everything they want without repercussions. Unless someone gets their ass arrested then this is all kabuki. Trump will probably get perp walked before any of these see trouble...

It’s so going down. Will be a few lower level people arrested. But will they turn over higher up names. They all got there orders from someone. Or will they commit “suicide” in jail. There are some very powerful people involved and don’t want it coming back on them.

Passwords would be nice, but are NOT needed. It is a black box that can be “defined” by pushing data in and seeing what comes out. That would be circumstantial in the least, and should be direct evidence of the crime committed.

A database is not a black box. You need the password.

I’d rather move to option 3 first. It will speed the other states up.

Refusal is an admission of guilt.
Start arresting all involved.
There is no other solution and any court, DA or government law enforcement failing to follow the law should be arrested also.
Obviously this election was FAKE.
JoeBama is FAKE.
SCOTUS is FAKE if they allow this unconstitutional regime to continue stalling and hiding the TRUTH.

Yep! They are above the law because the right allows them to be above the law.

Wonder why they won’t give the password if everything is fair. Can they hack it or is that allowed. I am sure they can figure out the password.

Not necessarily.

If the database was not encrypted but is able to be seen, you can do everything you need.

I’d leave the drives in “Read-Only” mode, though, and show evidence this was the case.

Deleted files can generally be recovered when not overwritten.

Cool. That's a crime.

If he's confident they were deleted I'm sure the Senate will make a criminal referral. If they don't...

Since the County never would have risked the crime of deleting the databases unless they were super incriminating I'm sure the Senate will soon reveal all the fraud in the database that they were trying to hide. If they don't...

Keep yer mouth shut.
Take the year.
Collect $1,000,000...tax free

That’s how it worked for a former neighbor here in WV who was involved in a state highway dept. equipment scandal with a state senator.

This database stuff is really stupid. All they have to do is turn on the server to find out if the folder was deleted. The server the audit team received was basically unchanged (not one byte of data is different). They did not turn the machine on. All they did was copy the hard drives and rebuild the data using specialized equipment. Then returned the drives in their original state.

So, the server is in its original condition as received and can be turned on in a court of law to prove who is lying (auditors or county).

Bullcrap. They could have deleted the database just to harass the auditors. They are fighting the audit every inch of the way.

Some, stupid IT guy might have thought it was funny to turn the machine over without the database. There are actually several reasons why the database was deleted.

Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.
