This will cost about a trillion dollars to gather because the government is so efficient.

erased? surely you jest, it’s there Even if it was "erased" any IT specialist can tell you that its still there and available. The most transparent administration. You can see right through it.

If every single sector on the drive gets forcibly written over, then data will be gone from that disk.

And when they don’t turn over butkus you’ll just send them another sternly worded letter, right?

Issa will then send Hans Blix to find those missing emails.

I just pray that Issa has the guts to do so. I know from both sides what the law is and know the technical details don’t add up. This goes far beyond one hard drive and even the backups. The problems with conspiracies is that too many people know.

Has any “investigation” by Issa ever resulted in anything of substance happening to anyone? Dog-and-Pony show. How can anyone believe anything these WDC’ers say about anything? Pitiful.

It will be very interesting is to see if the drives were rewiped to prevent any recovery.

It would surprise if the missing drives are not crushed to bits and thrown into a furnace for melting by now. It still takes a team to do all of that. This is a conspiracy, and this is really big.

You know something, the more time that passes by, with all these Obama Scandals going largely unpunished, I am truly starting to wonder if people like Daryl Issa are deliberately not pushing the prosecution or public trial. I wonder if this is being deliberately dragged out to run the clock of this administration. I hate to think of it so cynically.

Daryl Issa has always impressed me as someone very savvy and knowledgeable on due process and protocol, yet nothing ever gets done. No one ever gets sentenced, or even formally accused. I wish someone else was doing Issa’s job. He and others are benefitting in some manner by not pushing these scandals to their next logical steps.

At this point - why aren’t they just matching in FBI agents -and confiscate everything - in stead of giving them a list of what they need - a list they can then follow to systematically use to destroy everything on it -

"If every single sector on the drive gets forcibly written over, then data will be gone from that disk"

That is incorrect, at least for magnetic media. Companies like this recover overwritten data from magnetic disks all day every day.

Not after the DoD scrubbers are run if the IRS has access to them. They clean up enough that the drive could be sent to the manufacturer for fault analysis now. Back in the day, all DoD used drives were crushed then incinerated - they didn’t care how bad we needed the fault data.

When every sector has been overwritten, the data is gone for ever. A formatted drive or one where files have been deleted can be recovered but one where every sector has been written to, the previous data is gone forever.

Contact your company you listed and tell them that you accidentally wrote new data to every single sector on your hard drive. Ask them if they can retrieve your old files. They can not.
