Responding to idiotic twitter comments

Those are some pretty small databases for the 11/03/2020 election. I suspect these are not the databases actually used. These could be test runs in a non-production environment

Who had access to the machines on April 12th and why were they deleting/modifying files?

If it's what you have highlighted you might want to ask your experts to take another look. ldf is a log file, not a database, and it is absolutely routine to purge log files.

Again, why delete/modify anything on the 12th?

And just to be clear, amateurs use R-Studio. It's an off the shelf data recovery tool. Not exactly "forensic" as if they really wanted to hide any "evidence" you need an electron microscope and a clean room to recover the data>

Yet this 800+ USD program has found files that were deleted/modified on the 12th. And an electron microscope? Is this clown really this dumb?
