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.
