The last batch of Hillary Clinton emails released by the State Department included one from Clinton asking to borrow a book called Send: Why People Email So Badly and How to Do It Better, by David Shipley and Will Schwalbe.
Clinton has not said why she requested the book, but it includes some advice that is particularly interesting in light of the controversy over her unconventional email arrangement at the State Department and her decision to delete tens of thousands of emails she deemed to be purely personal.
The copy that ABC downloaded for $9.99 had some interesting revelations.
Take, for example, Chapter Six: The Email That Can Land You In Jail. The chapter includes a section entitled How to Delete Something So It Stays Deleted.

Nothing to see here. Move along.
But you have to admit, Hillary is so courageous that she is handling these attacks by Republicans with the qualities America needs in its next President.
ok.. Maureen Dowd.
It is unlikely that this is why Hillary got the book. She would not have the technical skill or the server access to wipe freespace.
This assumes, furthermore, that Communicator keeps email in files. I don’t think it does. Instead, there is one giant file with all the emails, and when you ‘delete’ an email, it is simply marked as deleted in the index.
Anyone with more technical knowledge of Communicator internals should feel free to elaborate.
LOL!
ABC is talking? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmn.
Take each recipient of the emails out in the woods. Shoot them in the head, and place gun by their side to indicate suicide. Worked in the past; could work again.
True. Whether anything remains, depends on who she trusted to do the job for her. You can be sure the FBI will investigate anyone she brought in to do the job. And they might squeal on her. Files may be fragmented on the hard drive. An index might point to a table containing the locations and sequencing of those fragments. Deleting a file marks those fragments as freespace for use again. Even if the freespace is wiped, the index pointers may or may not remain, giving the FBI an opportunity to try to recover header information that indicates the when and where and who from stuff.
I see this more as a application architecture problem rather than a OS-level issue. In a Microsoft Exchange Server, all the data is stored in several gigantic files. Simply deleting emails doesn’t physically remove them. Instead, you have to stop the server, and run a particular MS Exchange utility to reclaim the freespace in the MS Exchange database. I suppose they could have done this.
Elliot Spitzer in 2006: “Never write when you can talk, never speak when you can nod and never send an email to anyone”. She is incredibly stupid and thinks she is so much smarter than all of us. She will be in orange before long if ValJar has anything to say about it.
Why not write hex FF over the entire disk?
Sure, you could do that. In fact, that’s what DBAN does. You boot from a Linux disc and the utility overwrites the drive.
However, in that case, the emails Hilary did ‘not delete’ would obviously be gone. That might or might not suit her book.
In addition, you’d have to have physical access to the server to do this, or get the hosting company to do it. That would be kind of hard to explain.
Hard to believe Hillary is a lawyer. They usually learn to cover their tracks well. Some lawyers say to speak in the third person when referring to yourself, so as to no self-incriminate. As in "Some say to do such and such; of course I would never advocate such." Always point responsibility away from yourself. She hasn't learned because, as some say, she is stupid.
You're right, I was looking at it from the OS level. I had to run utilities to reclaim freespace apps like that. MS Exchange, or Novell, and others keep the data around until utilities are run. Usually run on a schedule. If Hillary did a mass delete and wasn't careful, immediately pulling the server from use, then her goose may be cooked.
The could have simply exported the email to .pst files, and then deleted the database files, or completely wiped the drives.
You can’t make this stuff up. I hope it’s a long, slow, slog into oblivion for her that consumes hundreds of millions of RAT dollars. We want to run against her so this needs to take as long as possible to fully expose her absolute corruption to the world.
The Democratic Party in the final analysis will not be suicidal enough to nominate her (just as they weren’t the last time she ran). Keep in mind that she has burned, betrayed and intimidated a great many of her fellow party members; we are about to be treated to the pleasure of all that fear-suppressed anger at her boiling over all at once.
It will be a beautiful thing to behold. I have been waiting almost a quarter century for this woman to get her due.
Trust me. ... I didn't read it. ... I just wanted everyone to think I'm computer savvy.
please no pictures of Hillary Clinton after I’ve eaten in the past 72 hours thx
