Now-indicted former congressional IT aide Imran Awan allegedly routed data from numerous House Democrats to a secret server. Police grew suspicious and requested a copy of the server early this year, but they were provided with an elaborate falsified image designed to hide the massive violations. The falsified image is what ultimately triggered their ban from the House network Feb. 2, according to a senior House official with direct knowledge of the investigation.
The secret server was connected to the House Democratic Caucus, an organization chaired by then-Rep. Xavier Becerra. Police informed Becerra that the server was the subject of an investigation and requested a copy of it. Authorities considered the false image they received to be interference in a criminal investigation, the senior official said.

Well check your source of information. That's not true. And a computer file is a computer file. If someone needs your files they don't get your actual CPU. You send it electronically.
And Crowd Strike did analysis for the FBI all the time.
You guys act like they're getting photocopies of photocopies of photocopies.
Think of it more as a clone. No compromise of DNA information because a clone is an exact replication of an original.
Why does the FBI as a matter of routine behavior seize peoples computers, laptops and phones and tablets then?
Why didn't they just ask Cohen for a Copy?
Armed with court-approved search warrants, FBI agents fanned out across Manhattan and reportedly seized computers, tax documents, emails, communications and business documents from Cohen's home, his office at a law firm in Rockefeller Center and his hotel room on Park Avenue.

3. Destroy the hard drive
Everyone has that moment where you want to smash your computer. Well, this is your chance.
If you don't need your hard drive anymore, physically destroying it is the best way to keep your data from falling into the wrong hands. I would still run the Boot And Nuke program first, however.
Then pull it out of the computer case and go to town. The method doesn't really matter.
Some people use a power drill, belt sander or hammer. I've seen someone use a 20-ton hydraulic press. Just make sure the drive's platters are sufficiently damaged so they never spin again.

The FBI didn't say it wasn't true, they just said they didn't find evidence of it.
So, I imagine it's probably true and the brass at the FBI are a bunch of idiots.
Partisan idiots.
Thanks for this, goes to show images can be falsified and naive leftist will simply eat whatever the liberal media hand feeds them, blind trust of the FBI?

I don't believe Crowdsrike ever sent the FBI a clone of the server.
I think we're seeing another stunt like the one pulled in the Imran Awan case...

Someone should also mention law firm Perkins Coie...the Clinton Campaign/DNC firm/money middle-men, responsible for drafting BOTH Fusion GPS and CrowdStrike.
ALL CrowdStrike roads lead back to Hillary Clinton.

Who do you think they give those devices to? The computer forensics division who copy the files. Do you think they take it apart ? See if you have a secret file tucked behind the fan?
Crowd Strike copied the files from the hard drives just like the FBI would do.
Crowd Strike did this kind of work for the FBI all the time.
Anyway moot point .
The FBI said the server wasn't compromised so it's all a stupid conspiracy theory .

So why not just let the FBI do it? Why refuse to let them do their job, and hire a third party to do it instead?
In December, CrowdStrike said it found evidence that Russians hacked into a Ukrainian artillery app, contributing to heavy losses of howitzers in Ukraine's war with pro-Russian separatists.
VOA reported Tuesday that the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), which publishes an annual reference estimating the strength of world armed forces, disavowed the CrowdStrike report and said it had never been contacted by the company.
Ukraine's Ministry of Defense also has stated that the combat losses and hacking never happened.

And not to mention crowdstrike has already been caught being wrong while blaming russia for a hack.

On November 12, 2015, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko awarded philanthropist George Soros the Order of Freedom to acknowledge his personal contribution, and that of his International Renaissance Foundation, to the establishment of a new, democratic, and European Ukraine.

Cyber Firm Behind “Russian Hacking” Claims Has Ties To Soros-Supported Think Tank
The founder of Crowdstrike is also tied to the Atlantic Council, a think tank supported by George Soros which has been accused of accepting funds in exchange for support of favored policy positions as well as promoting disinformation and propaganda attacks against anti establishment figures.
Further investigation has revealed that Crowdstrike has deep ties to a think tank which has a history of pay to play practices and a track record of seeking to foment confrontation between the United States and Russia.
Crowdstrike founder Dmitri Alperovitch acts as a Senior Fellow for the Atlantic Council.
In May 2016, a report by the Associated Press identified the Atlantic Council as one of a number of think tanks which had received funding from the Ploughshares Fund, which was a major player in efforts to sell the Iranian nuclear deal to the American public. The Ploughshares Fund is financed by George Soros’ Open Society Foundation.
The Atlantic Council's past relationship with George Soros is also problematic given that Soros has deep financial ties to groups organizing resistance movements as part of an attempt to enact regime change in the United States.
As former CIA Director Michael Morell, James Clapper and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence have all clearly stated that there is not, nor has ever been any evidence that Russian hacking affected any election results in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Elections, the efforts of Crowdstrike to promote claims to the contrary raises serious questions about their research as well as the intentions of the DNC in preventing neutral federal regulatory agencies from examining their servers firsthand to verify the claims.
