Every debate should start with why you hide your mail from the public.
Every debate should end with why you hide your mail from the public.
You were the Secretary of State. Do you understand that Richard Nixon was a President and did not erase anything?
What did you glean from that?
Repeated low-level reformatting of the drive might do the trick. But to be a surely sure, one should destroy the drive.
I’d think that by this time the hard drives that held the emails have been destroyed and replaced. Destruction of potential evidence is the best you can do if you can’t get the recipient copies. Sidney Blumenthal might be the key. It will be hard to nail the slime ball.
“Let’s face it. It got cleaned because she had it cleaned.”
It’s been cleaned as far as the average layperson is concerned. But, assuming the server itself hasn’t been destroyed, most of those emails can be recovered by experts. I’m wondering why Trey Gowdy hasn’t subpoenaed The Hildabeast to deliver it, intact and undamaged. I’m guessing it’s probably already been “disposed of”.
Gowdy has explained that his committee doesn’t have the power to seize the server and has already appealed to Boehner to have the authority of the House do it.
This is just an extension of the House’ failure to act on Lois Lerner’s e-mails.
“and shall....... be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.”
I believe it was a stupid move on her part—I thought she was smarter than that. A good tyrant needs to be power hungrey but smart.
The biatch should be in prison. The perfect candidate for morons and mental midgets who vote for commie lib DemocRATS in order to keep their freebies coming.
Are you kidding?
Can you imagine if Richard Nixon had erased all his tapes?
Hillary erased the hard drive and expects to be rewarded with the presidency. Nixon turned over his tapes and was expelled from the presidency. On top of that she was one of the people who helped prosecute him for Watergate. She basically did the same thing he did with her e-mails nd yet she expects to skate right on through to the presidency.
What is wrong with this picture.
As of right now, there is no way Hillary will make it to the presidency. Every time she will turn the page on this e-mail scandal another drip drip will come out. She is such damaged goods and has the personality of a viper.
One look at her and everyone sees nurse Ratchet. She is toast. She reminds me of Howard Dean. He was thoroughly a loathsome man and never had a chance. She is the same no matter how much money they throw at her.
Wait until they get into her foundation and the blood money she took.
Actually back during the waning years of the cold war, all classified hard drives were never supposed to see the light of day. They all had to be crushed and destroyed before being tossed. That was also true for any piece of equipment that had permanent memories such as PROMs. The reason being is you can always recover old writes. Takes a lot of work, but the old writes are still there in small pieces of the magnetic storage material. Heck, the Soviets could even read a disk drive from outside a building using radio waves as the drive was in use. So yes, they can recover most of the data, if they really wanted. But we are being governed by crooks who do not care and who are actually protecting Hillary. Otherwise she would have been in jail by now.
If your idea of "wiping" files is to issue a command like "Delete *.*" and expect it to destroy all files, you are in for a big shock. Delete commands tell the operating system to mark the directory (index to disk space used by files) as available. The actual file data is not destroyed until the system needs space to write more file data and writes over the old data. Until that happens the old file is recoverable.
There are "shredder" programs which are designed to overwrite the original data with a pattern like 01010101 then again with 10101010. They may also be set to repeat that process as many times as is deemed necessary (government standards specify the number of repeat cycles).
When finished you may as well reformat the drive for good measure. NOW it is wiped!

She will say that they swapped out the server drives as part of routine maintenance and blame it on her techs.
I just learned that word “spoliation” this week on Better Call Saul.
Lord and Lady Macbeth
Are the epitome
of what a Host and hostess
should not be
Doesn't matter about pressing for access to her server, as any IT person can pull the hard drives and insert new wiped hard drives - a search can't reconstruct data that was never there on new hard drives. The original hard drives are long gone, hidden away or shredded. Swapping out the drives and claiming the server was wiped is still illegal.
Does a bear @#%& in the woods?
That's actually been proven false by someone who actually tried recovering data from a wiped drive using an actual magnetic force microscope. Even NIST agrees: Guidelines for Media Sanitization
For storage devices containing magnetic media, a single overwrite pass with a fixed pattern such as binary zeros typically hinders recovery of data even if state of the art laboratory techniques are applied to attempt to retrieve the data.
