...Produce The Server...

[FirstLight]

Isn't it just about time for the congressional committee to cut to the chase and subpoena or otherwise demand said Server?

So they issued a "do not destroy" order...but really, shouldn't they have it in their possession by now?

We saw raids on offices, etc for these other crooks...why NOT the WH?

1. "Server" is not operational any more. It is a term of art for a farm in the clouds

"It" doesn't really exist in any physical embodiment of chassis/power/cpu/disk/etc. It is likely vitualized and containerized and compartmentalized and distributed and clustered. The operative bits may be here or there. They may be RAIDed and striped and subject to encoding/decoding.

A "server" could be in a USB drive (yes, they have software), in your phone or idiot's i-thing. It could actually be in the kremlin or with the norks. Copies of said server are probably spread throughout most of the IC in most countries as well as many other crime syndicates.

Amazon, Oracle, Microsoft, Google, and everyone else are angling to be the providers of headless "servers". Virtual desktops so people will think there is actually a "thing" on the other end of the "wire".

4. But DATA is....

..since those documents in question are not classified (and are not supposed to be on that virtual machine or cloud storage system), they can and should be subpoenaed. It's the data they need. They can get very specific about what documents they want to see for impeachment.

5. exactly...

and BTW, they are the ones calling it a "server" so I tend to think it is an actual tower or something...

3. You want the DOJ to raid the White House?

Don’t hold your breath on that one.

I suspect that issue will end up before the Supreme Court.

6. um...maybe the Intelligence Comittee?

Doesn't the congress have a "sargeant-at-arms"...? or something similar?
