Computers with Blagojevich evidence stolen from law firm

[slapshot]

Police are investigating a burglary at the law offices of the attorneys for former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, sources said, and are trying to recover computers containing discovery evidence in the sweeping corruption case.

[TC Rider]

Are they sure they didn’t just commit suicide? Throwing themselves from windows? Infecting themselves with destructive viruses? just saying?

[madinmadtown]

Friday night dump of information....nothing to see here folks.

[livius]

Gimme a break. It’s a law firm and they don’t back up their data? Puhleeze.

[ThomasThomas]

Which sponsor would Rush plug in this situation?

[Dick Bachert]

FOGEDDABOUTIT!
It’s da CHICAGO WAY!!!!

[kimla]

Think the discovery info will be posted over a Russian server???

[Bluebeard16]

Just imagine that!

[penelopesire]

hmmmmm......ping.

[Ditto]

...and are trying to recover computers containing discovery evidence in the sweeping corruption case.

They weren't stolen... they were recycled.

[Dr. Sivana]

Which sponsor would Rush plug in this situation?

Select Comfort, because Blago will be sleeping a little bit better, but not as well as if he had a select comfort bed.

"Gimme a break. It’s a law firm and they don’t back up their data? Puhleeze. "

Exactly! There are hundreds of ways to back up data these days, both on and off premise. You can't tell me that a law firm large enough to handle the Blagojevich case doesn't "network" and have auto-backup.

I hope all of their prospective and future clients take note of this.

Did they steal ALL of the computers, or just Blago's evidence computers?...just askin'.

[Qout]

The law firm does have backups of all the data. They do it routinely.

The climate scientists aren’t that smart.

[Question Liberal Authority]

Liberals have the worst luck hanging on to their computer data.

[expatpat]

Chicago — sinkhole of corruption.

[UCANSEE2]

(Thanks for posting the article).

(A)The younger Adam confirmed the burglary this afternoon but said everything that was taken is backed up on other computers in his offices.

(B)”We did have some computers stolen, and we will not speculate on any motivation that might be behind it,” Adam said. “We’re trying to determine now what they did and did not take.”

Does anyone else see the problem here?

[Oldpuppymax]

Perhaps the computers are in hiding, or contemplating suicide. In any event, WELCOME TO CHICAGO!

[Noumenon]

Is that the lawyers or the computers in that vat? or both?

[Oldpuppymax]

Maybe this is the reason our 2nd amendment rights do not apply in Illinois. Actual Americans living in the state would blow politicians away every damned day.

[Indy Pendance]

Somewhere there is a ‘social director’ in the mix.
