From Joseph Weber’s article at Fox News:
Wasserman Schultz to allow laptop scan after months of stonewalling in IT probe
The former head of the Democratic Party who lost her post in the fallout from a massive email breach is expected to start cooperating with federal investigators in a separate cybersecurity case, after months of apparent stonewalling.
Fox News has learned that Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz plans to allow federal investigators to scan a laptop belonging to her as part of a complex probe into allegations of computer theft, over-billing and possible email hacking.
U.S. Capitol Police have had the laptop for months and until now had been unable to get access. It’s unclear why the Florida lawmaker and ousted Democratic National Committee chairwoman had been battling law enforcement over the computer; however, her counsel began negotiating this week with Capitol Police in connection with the probe.
At least five IT contractors who worked for dozens of House Democrats including Wasserman Schultz purportedly took hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of computer equipment and potentially hacked into the lawmakers’ email accounts.
Do you believe this computer has exactly the same information on it now, that there was when Wasserman Schultz first refused to turn it over?

Ken, please reread what you posted and amend your comment as needed.
free – other than changing a period to a comma (I used to be a better proofreader), I’m not sure what you’re referring to.
1st sentence of the 3rd paragraph that you posted.

Your 1 st paragraph
Do you believe this computer has exactly the same information on it now, that there was when Wasserman Schultz first refused to turn it over?
They have had the laptop for months. Just now getting permission to access it.
I have followed this story from the start, she never refused to turn it over. It was lost and the capitol police found it.
My understanding – possibly wrong, I’m certainly no computer expert -is that a computer can be tampered with remotely. IF that is correct -and, again, it is my understanding that this can be done – she could have had that hard drive “adjusted” while it was being held.
Huge news just being reported.
