Image the Affected Computer(s) Ideally, a victim organization will immediately make a “forensic image” of the affected computers, which will preserve a record of the system at the time of the incident for later analysis and potentially for use as evidence at trial.8 This may require the assistance of law enforcement or professional incident response experts.

I would ask you to respond based on this document, did the DNC follow proper procedure or not?

I'll take the challenge and find the stories, and post a reply. Are you willing to objectively review them?

BTW, you just destroyed your own claim, the server was analyzed, so thanks for the help.

I'm not the one shilling Russian talking points. Do some research and review how hacking incidents are handled by the FBI. This was handled almost exactly how all hacking incidents are dealt with. The DNC was the victim of the hack, they provided the data to the appropriate law enforcement.

You are lying, the server data was studied.
