Maricopa County cites 'security risk' in refusing to give subpoenaed router info to 2020 election audit team

[Washington Examiner] Officials in Maricopa County, Arizona, where a Republican-backed audit of the 2020 election is underway, said they cannot give the audit team access to county router information that was subpoenaed by the state Senate.

In a Monday letter sent to Ken Bennett, a former Republican secretary of state in Arizona who is serving as the Republican-led state Senate’s audit liaison, Deputy County Attorney Joseph La Rue said the county "cannot at this time provide the virtual images of routers" to be examined by auditors, citing "a significant security risk to law enforcement data utilized by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office as well as numerous federal agencies."

"We had previously believed that the risk would be eliminated by redacting the law enforcement data on the routers and not producing it," La Rue said in the letter. "But we were informed that redaction did not eliminate the risk. We also learned that if criminal elements or others gained access to this data, it might compromise county and federal law enforcement efforts and put the lives of law enforcement personnel at risk."

Bennett said in an interview with Just the News that the Senate’s subpoena had requested "access or control of all routers and tabulators ... used in connection with the administration of the 2020 election," along with "the public IP of the [routers]."

"I don't know why the routers in a tabulation and election center have anything to do with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office or numerous federal agencies," Bennett said, adding that "the sheriff's department and the Maricopa County tabulation and election center aren't even in the same building."

County spokesman Fields Moseley told the Washington Examiner that county IT professionals made the determination that information contained in the routers "can be used as blueprints to intercept sensitive county data" across more than 50 different departments.

Or they need time to scrub the router logs of any improper connections to the Voting systems.

#2 'Real criminal activity' shrouded by the threat of 'imagined criminal activity'. Ok, I got it.

No mention made of potential damage to the ozone layer, environment, or to the children. The dem legal team must be holding those back for later use as necessary.

#3 Route is not a harddrive. The only info that should be there ae computers that connected to it. This is super-suspicious.
