Extremely Bad News For Wasserman-Schultz / Democrats: Smashed Hard Drives 'Recoverable'

[easyt65]

"Whatever Is On Imran Awan’s Smashed Hard Drives Likely Can Be Recovered"

"Somebody must have thought they were hiding something by smashing those computer hard-drives the FBI recovered from the home of Imran Awan, Florida Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s former information technology (IT) aide.

But odds are excellent they were wrong. Federal law enforcement authorities may have already recovered and read whatever was on those hard drives.

“It depends on what happens, but even if it is hit with a hammer, it probably doesn’t damage the platters that actually hold the data, which remains recoverable,” said Tom Hakim, engineering supervisor for werecoverdata.com, a New York-based lab that specializes in difficult digital retrieval.

“In most cases, it’s very likely” the information on a smashed hard drive can be recovered “in two or three days, maybe a week,” Hakim said."





"That may be very bad news for Pakistani-born Imran. He and his younger brothers Abid and Jamal, his wife Hina Alvi and his best friend Rao Abbas are criminal suspects in a federal investigation first made public in February into abuse of the congressional IT servers, including the possible transfer of data, emails and files from the offices of dozens of House Democrats.

Imran had worked for Wasserman Schultz — who resigned in July 2016 as chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee after its IT system was hacked..."

“There is something quite amiss as to why Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz continued to use taxpayer funds to employ former technology staff member, Imran Awan, even months after he was barred from accessing the House’s computer systems and a number of her colleagues severed ties with Awan,” said Matthew Whitaker, FACT’s executive director.

“Since Awan’s arrest last week, Wasserman Schultz has been evasive and unable to answer even basic questions about the nature of Awan’s employment with her office. This only further confirms the urgency of an investigation into her unethical and illegal actions,” Whitaker said in a statement released by the non-profit government ethics watchdog."

What is her job these days? I know Hillary put her on her campaign after she left the DNC, but the election is over. So where does DWS work now?

 

[TNHarley]

I find it odd IT guys didnt dispose of hard drives correctly. Wouldnt you think they would know smashing them wouldnt help?

 

[Votto]

Oh no, now they will have more evidence to sweep under the rug.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

That's why Hillary Bleach bitted hers.

Hopefully the prison kitchen soon

It's getting tougher and tougher to keep up with all the scandals, conspiracies, accusations and investigations.

Lots of partisan noise.

There is something very fishy--or very stupid--about the whole situation.

According to the media, duck the press and attempt to prevent the Keystone Capitol cops from looking at her laptop they have in their possession.

Indeed. The WHOLE situation

That is why there are actually Federal laws and regulations covering the disposal of classified information, discs, tapes, hard drives, servers, etc. Only specific methods and / or govt-approved devices can be legally used to dispose of such equipment and products.

You would think an IT expert making $160K a year would know that is not a effective way to hide the information on a hard drive.

Exactly. There is an official document called the NISPOM that specifically TELLS YOU how to clear and sanitize a hard drive. Someone with a Top Secret clearance should be familiar with that document.

Another "Daily Caller" thread.

Another "Daily Caller" thread.

Several others are also reporting it....just not the Liberal Fake News CNN. MSNBC, WSJ, NY Times, etc, who are all trying to pretend it doesn't exist.

It's sad when the snowflakes, whose media outlets have all been discredited as Left Wing Propaganda-Pushing surrogates of the Democratic Party, have to respond by bitterly saying, "Oh yeah...well...YOUR source sucks."

Bwuhahahaha......

 

[The Original Tree]

Exactly Why in THE FUCK is Schultz "UNDER PRESSURE" to testify?

Fuck that! How about UNDER SUBPOENA!
Same with Lynch, Rice, Powers, Jarret, Comey & McCabe!

 

[easyt65]

The GOP...and Sessions...need to grow a pair...

How would regular IT guys know the full extent of the FBI? If you truly want to destroy a HDD to where it is beyond all possibility of recognition, you have to do more than throw it down steps, hit it with a hammer, shoot it with a gun or even cut it in half with a band saw, you should either destroy it in an intense fire that totally incinerates it, bury it where it can never be found (drop it in the ocean?), or utterly crush it in a vice or metal compactor, where the data discs are pulverized.
