And yet the FBI still never examined the DNC servers that were “hacked.”
I'm probably wasting my time here, but . . .
I heard Trump say this exact thing recently, while standing next to Putin ironically, and as an IT professional I had to LOL.
Why:
1) The FBI would simply image everything completely, so they have a byte for byte copy of a time-point after the intrusion. They do this in part because the standards for the drives, security and encryption of evidence will be higher by necessity than the hardware the compromise occurred on.
2) A lot of the DNC data would be from cloud-based infrastructures that every company scales onto now. We don't need to take down the Amazon WS server farm which was hosting the data, as all evidence of the intrusion would be apparent in the data itself.
3) The idea that if you don't have the specific hard drives the data lived on at every point along its journey toward the moment of crime is ridiculous. Those drives are as irrelevant to this crime as the cubits of air a murder victim had in their hotel room three weeks before they were murdered.
Not to put too fine a point on this, but In this case it is as though the FBI has the body of the victim, the weapon used, and bloody footprints leading back to the murderer who is standing over a confession signed in the victim's blood. Then Trump, stands next to guy who ordered the murder and says, "Hey, why didn't the FBI seize the car she rented for three days two months before the murder? Maybe this sweet guy is innocent " Pretty laughable.
Also: I pray that both Seth Rich's murderers and those who used this tragedy to forward their own agendas are someday held to account.
