    System crash my ass most of these agencies have support deals with Cloud providers for their data-storage. What we really need here is evidence of which Cloud providers they are contracted with and sue them for the information.

      don’t need to sue. fire off a subpoena at the agency for a list of all cloud data supporters, and then fire off subpoenas at them.

      Discovery is a bitch if you’re trying to cover shit up, and yes, you can subpoena 3rd parties if they have data you need to prove your case. (For example, security recordings from neighboring properties that look in the direction of whoever you’re really going after.)

        Worst case, “too bad, the data is on the disc, here’s a forensic service. You’re the government, it’s not financially onerous to order this”.

      Even then, 14 year old me still figured out how to recover my data from the disk after my “system crashed”. Took a trip to the library to Google it and grab a list of CMD commands.

      There’s just no way that data is magically gone from cloud or system failure.
