And that also means we do not know what the actual chain of possession of this material was, or if it is even in any probative sense still intact. Personally, I believe it is highly unlikely that it had not already been tampered with when PRN accepted possession “sometime” in 2013.
Chain of possession...wouldn’t the first step be establishing that the current hard drives are in fact the original and or logged replacement drives?
And that leads to the question of who specified the system, hardware and software,purchased and installed it, doesn’t it?
Not to mention security and maintenance for necessary security patches. Who performed this work and how often. The easy hack is possible when you have physical access to the system. Files could have been leaving in bulk in this manner avoiding NSA monitoring. As well as spyware and such being installed.
There is a whole other chain that needs to be exposed.
