Let the truth be known.
Thoughts on smashed hard-drive viability?
That is why the have shredders for destroying hard drives...
I can’t believe they didn’t make sure the drives were completely destroyed. Hillary! and her minions are usually pretty thorough.
I suppose the evidence will be “lost” at the FBI evidence room. The Lord knows the Left’s minions are everywhere.
I still can’t believe that anyone would “destroy” a hard drive AND STILL KEEP IT IN THEIR HOME.
I think there is a good chance that the recovered data will be wonderful and patriotic and not at all problematic. Because it was planted.
Perhaps the government drives were cloned but the replacement clones contained back doors alowing surveliance
The smashed drives thus provide no clues except where to go to find the cloned communicating drives
Criminal scumbags collecting information on members of Congress for blackmail.....sooooo Clintonesque.....it is about time people started going to jail for all the cyber crime in Washington, DC.
If the hard drives contained incriminating evidence, why would he have left them behind in his home? This just doesn’t seem plausible to me. I doubt they will find anything damaging on them.
Where is Sessions?
Out of curiosity would powerful magnets corrupt the data sufficiently to prevent recovery? My prior understanding was yes, but I’m not sure anymore.
Why would they need to recover what’s on the drives? I’m pretty sure Awan copied them for insurance before “destroying” them.
I think in a case like this they might be more interested in just being able to read the registry part of a disk. Accessing the registry might lead them to other sources where the content might be stored.
Recovered, Redacted, and never Revealed.
The proper way to dispose of a hard drive is to send it through a metal shredder, leaving pieces 1/4” in size. At that point, it becomes very difficult to recover data.
If using a hammer, you can break the circuit board, and dent the casing, but data recovery houses normally remove the drive platters from the drive, and those are usually left intact, complete with all the data available, when someone just takes a hammer to a hard drive.
However, were a computer professional to do this, he would have known to first disassemble the drive and smash the individual platters. Depending on the drive, it might have glass, ceramic, or metal platters. The important thing is to physically destroy those platters. Once that happens, the data is not recoverable.

Where’s Sessions?
I thought everything was in the Clouds?
Just ask WikiLeaks what Julian bought from Awan.
ALL of America’s secrets.
This is an interesting list of ongoing Democrat scandals:

[U.S. Government to Encrypt All Laptops]
“On June 23, 2006 a Presidential Mandate was put in place requiring all agency laptops to fully encrypt data on the HDD. The U.S. Government is currently conducting the largest single side-by-side comparison and competition for the selection of a Full Disk Encryption product. “

Looks like the public pdf of the mandate has been deleted:

NOT (LOL):
Be interesting to see if the Awan Bros followed that [deleted] mandate, or not.
