You know what would be fun?
This is a perfect opportunity for the NSA to (ahem-ahem) examine that wiped server using super-dooper top-secret techniques, after which (quelle surprise) all of those “deleted” emails suddenly and magically reappear.
Of course, what they would really be doing is simply restoring the server from the backups that I know darn well they have because if there is one thing I am absolutely sure of, the same NSA that scans our emails, tracks our cell phones, and (HI GUYS!) monitors all of our FR postings is NOT going to be so incompetent as to ignore an unsecured server being operated illegally by the United States Secretary of State.
Now, whether they will or not, that’s a different story, but they could do it. Plus, this would give them deniability because they would not have to admit to having them in the first place. Nope nope, we just recovered them from the server. How? Sorry, can’t discuss how it works. Top secret, need to know, all that.
I like the way you think.
“... NSA to (ahem-ahem) examine that wiped server ...”
That’s not NSA’s domain, rather it is the FBI’s and they are supposedly doing just as you mention.
If the HD was replaced, as the story suggests, simple polling will reveal how long the drive has been in use on that particular email server and whether that is the same server Hillary used as revealed in the raw email headings.
Our best bet is to get the emails from the Chinese when the Chinese are sure Hillary and her team are out...
You have nailed it exactly. The ignoramuses at Fox News should have observed the same thing a year ago, but they have no real clue. Not sure who does, except folks like us. Not that it will matter to the folks who vote progressive.
