The hard drive is encrypted. The data is only accessible if a key card is inserted at startup. Pelosi presumably still has hers. Nobody leaves a cac card in their computer because it is their key to move around the building.

Without a decryption key, no data is accessible for any purpose.

So it isn't going to appear on the cloud without russian help. And they will still need a card with the proper authorization.

Hopefully she tries to get into the laptop. That ought to be funny.
