It was an innocent accident, I'm sure

An employee at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence drained the resort’s swimming pool last October and ended up flooding a room where computer servers containing surveillance video logs were kept, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

While it’s unclear if the room was intentionally flooded or if it happened by mistake, the incident occurred amid a series of events that federal prosecutors found suspicious.

It might not be enough for a legal decision, but it's clear to me.
The incident [...] came roughly two months after the FBI retrieved hundreds of classified documents from the Florida residence and as prosecutors obtained surveillance footage to track how White House records were moved around the resort.

Prosecutors have heard testimony that the IT equipment in the room was not damaged in the flood, according to one source.
Well, wasn't that convenient? Whew. That could have been expensive. The tapes were stored on the floor, I guess?  Actually, I'm not sure how the tapes were stored.  They may actually have been on the servers and not on free-standing drives or units.

I understand the person who "accidentally" flooded the server room is the same person who helped move boxes of documents after they were subpoenaed.  

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
