Why would the FBI have any involvement?

The FBI is probably better at computer forensics than the military is. Let them take a look at the computer and see if anything had been "deleted" recently instead of letting the MPs try to do it.

Remember, if you "delete" a file on the computer, all it does is mark that space on the disk as available to be reused. It doesn't actually wipe out the information at that time.

Makes a lot of sense. So, I presume the FBI was serving as consultants to the Criminal Investigation Division.

Exactly, unless it's overwritten.
