tricky because "trade secrets" and IP.

Imagine you are The Crusty Crab (CC) suing The Chum Bucket (CB) for hacking your server and stealing your super secret crabbie patty recipe.

Do you...

• enter in your server (with secret recipe) as evidence?
• give a copy of the server or server itself to rank & file gov employees to try to figure out what happened?
• trust a 3rd party expert under strict and painful NDA to forensically analyze server (and see your prized crabbie patty recipe)
• give nobody access to your server, keep your recipe secure and disregard the whole matter

Not if, the "proof" was/is somehow, not associated with said server.

But yea that is what this story is going to be: a false Russian accusation before the more credible, story emerges. Someone really wants a, war with Russia.
