http://cognidissidence.blogspot.com/2013/04/fraud-misrepresentation-or-misconduct.htmlIt is appearing that AFTER they were ordered to turn over all files to the democrats, someone logged into the taxpayer owned computers and deleted hundreds of thousands of emails!
New federal court filings allege that legislative aides appear to have deleted hundreds of thousands of files at suspicious times from state computers used by Republicans in redistricting.
...
The filings are part of a post-trial investigation ordered by the three-judge federal panel that heard the redistricting case. A final report on the investigation is due May 10.
Finding that fraud, misrepresentation or misconduct likely occurred, the judges ordered a post-trial investigation into the missing records. In February, the panel ordered the state to turn over three redistricting computers that had been housed at the Madison office of the Michael, Best and Friedrich law firm.
Predictably, the party of "personal responsibility" yes, I know. That is funny to me also) took none. Scott Fitzgerald who will take any chance to ramble aimlessly on telling us how bad democrats are seems to have lost his tongue when it comes to fraud on his watch. Robin Vos has forgotten anything that happened, and refers all questions to the Wisconsin taxpayer funded attorneys representing him in this misconduct.

(28,498 posts)Can't these emails be "undeleted?" By that, I mean isn't the email still on the hard drive(s)? Couldn't a savvy techie find them again?

(2,367 posts)files were stored on a traditional platter style hard drive or a solid state drive (mostly used by people who play computer games, unlikely to be used by rethugs).
A lot easier to recover off a platter drive.
