re: #334 ObserverArt
I would hope said database keeps a record of who accessed the reports and who could have the authority to make them go into a state they are no longer accessible by FBI agents.
Hopefully there is a full audit trail. But this is a government where the systems are farmed out to the lowest bidder. And the question would be whether they were made inaccessible, or if someone actually deleted the data and tried to hide or prevent any way of recovering the information.
