It sounds like Hillary may not have completely escaped the email scandal unscathed.
From the Washington Post:
The company that managed Hillary Rodham Clinton’s private e-mail server said it has “no knowledge of the server being wiped,” the strongest indication to date that tens of thousands of e-mails that Clinton has said were deleted could be recovered.
Clinton and her advisers have said for months that she deleted her personal correspondence from her time as secretary of state, creating the impression that 31,000 e-mails were gone forever.
There is a distinction between e-mails being deleted and a server being wiped. If e-mails are deleted or moved from a server, they appear to no longer exist on the device. But experts say, depending on the condition of the server, underlying data can remain on the device and the e-mails can often be restored.
To make the information go away permanently, a server must be wiped — a process that includes overwriting the underlying data with gibberish, possibly several times.
That process, according to Platte River Networks, the Denver-based firm that has managed the system since 2013, apparently did not happen.
THAT is HUGE!! It has been reported that none other than Edward Snowden himself had shown Hillary’s staff how to wipe clean their electronic devices, but it sounds like it didn’t take!!
This is the key:
The original server remained under Platte River’s control in a secure data center in New Jersey until the company turned it over to the FBI last month. A company attorney has said that the device was “blank” when it was given to investigators but had not specifically said it had been wiped.
And that’s why it was so odd when Ed Henry demanded Hillary answer if it had been wiped, and she stupidly answered, “what with a cloth?” – it sounded like a joke, but she was actually just trying to avoid the question.
So how soon can we get these emails?! I’m betting the FBI will stall until well after the 2012 election, or till after Hillary drops out of the primary race.
