The White House FBI files controversy of the Clinton Administration, often referred to as Filegate,[1] arose in June 1996 around improper access in 1993 and 1994 to FBI security-clearance documents. Craig Livingstone, director of the White House's Office of Personnel Security, improperly requested, and received from the FBI, background reports concerning several hundred individuals without asking permission. The revelations provoked a strong political and press reaction because many of the files covered White House employees from previous Republican administrations, including top presidential advisors. Under criticism, Livingstone resigned from his position. Allegations were made that senior White House figures, including First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, may have requested and read the files for political purposes, and that the First Lady had authorized the hiring of the underqualified Livingstone.

Burned it and it was still recovered? Someone paid someone highly qualified at data recovery to do that.
Don't know all the particulars of this case, but believe it is highly unethical for any repair shop to do something like this.
That said, it takes a really stupid lawyer to send in a laptop WITH the hard drive. Who does that? Would you want this clown as YOUR lawyer?
