Yeah, seems odd how they tried to recover emails from the bad hard drive but never thought of restoring from backup. I mentioned something like this last week:
“If they “recycle” backups, then they aren’t used to retain email long term. If they didn’t restore her system after the crash, then they aren’t for restoring systems either. What exactly are the backups for? Someones lying.”
IT tickets should exist that would show a trail of exactly what happened and when - and who was the IT person they should haul before Congress next.
They say they archived the exchange server (which has EVERY email) on tape for 6 mos, but if her personal drive with her .pst (which has her SELECTED emails) crashes, they would not ask to restore the .pst using the exchange tape - they’re two different things.
The key is the infitessimally low probability of this “crash” and the other crashes occuring when they did. Pair that with them not reporting any of it until 2 weeks ago. Obstruction of justice.
They are onto something, but will they stick with it?
If an executive branch agency commits a crime, why is there no recourse to indict?
