Imo if this was a bad guy op to get rid of the server evidence then there would have been no need for a public raid nor would it have been desirable to have their site and possible complicity made public. Refusing to confirm details via official sources seems like a psy op (one of the new DOD head, Chris Millers specialties btw) being run on the bad guys. Uncertainty, fear of exposure, panic, inability to connect securely with co conspirators leads to even more mistakes and greater demoralization. Art of War.
