Nothing will show the political bias of the DOJ than their refusal to address what was just discovered in Arizona.
? B O O M ! ?
They had no problem when the claim was the audit would destroy election information that was required to be retained, by law.
Now there is evidence election information had been deleted, which is against the same laws they were trying to use to intimidate the audit team.
Well, I expect after today's emergency meeting the county board will say something like this in a press release.
. "The County Board is surprised and outraged to find out that the cowboy, ludite, biased, incompetent audit team appointed by the Arizona Senate has willfully or accidentally caused the destruction and data loss of our election day databases. This vandalous act of destruction is a direct violation of federal law and thus the County Board is asking that the FBI immediately begin investigating the Arizona Audit Team." .
Of course the statement will be a total lie.
In my opinion, the County Board with the help of Dominion obviously destroyed the evidence on those hard drives by deleting the databases themselves.
But this was the plan. Setup the audit so you can claim the audit team destroyed the evidence. If the audit discovers the destruction of evidence during, then claim they inadvertently caused said destruction through incompetence. If the audit misses discovering the missing files then the County Board upon getting their equipment back says OMG they destroyed the files on this hard drive.
...i wonder who has a backup copy...such intrigue
well the drives are almost certainly spinners. Good chance the people who deleted the database didn't use bleach bit or even military grade deletion procedures. With the correct software or a hard drive recovery center, good chance the files can be recovered.
Now shipping the drive out to a physical recovery place probably isn't possible. And running recovery software probably isn't possible either, but hopefully someone had thought of something.
Salty Cracker's latest indicates they're recovering the data using off the shelf recovery software. It sounds like the lunkheads just selected all the files and pressed DELETE.
Lunkheads? all bark, no bite
Wipe it? Like with a rag?
Don't even really need anything "military grade"
Just set it to wipe 10-100 times and it's good for pretty much even the best recovery suites.
But what if they already had it beforehand?
Probably gonna look something like this

And it is a near certainty that whoever deleted the files would have needed an administrator level password to accomplish that task.
Are those the passwords that are being withheld by dominion? Thus proving who had access
From what I can see, the admin passwords that are requested are for the routers, and the voting machines. I have not seen anything to indicate that what was deleted was stored directly on either of those pieces of hardware.
However, if the files were deleted through a remote access point, then it is likely that the router data records would be vital to confirming, or tracing a remote connection that was capable of deleting files, and revealing who did it. And that would require an admin password to view those data logs.
Yes, thanks for the clarification I wasn't sure what the requested passwords were for.
kek, good call, the board already said this:
The Board of Supervisors met in private late Thursday, after which Sellers issued a blistering statement denying that any data was deleted, calling Fann's allegations “false and ill-informed" and demanding a retraction.
“It’s clearer by the day: the people hired by the Senate are in way over their heads," Sellers said. “This is not funny; this is dangerous.”
"These allegations were brought by the inexperienced technology personnel with whom the Senate has contracted to review the election," said the board's meeting agenda. "These reckless allegations have and are causing confusion and agitation at the State Legislature."

The board are RINOs
I swear that I heard Mike Lindell say that they had two former NSA members on the audit team.
Nailed it. Pretty much exactly what happened.
