On the segment about Hillary's email server on Greta's "On the Record" show tonight, the executive at Platte River Networks is interviewed.
He claims he has no idea why they were chosen by the Clintons.
I think I found the reason why they were chosen.

I noticed they weren’t asked if they wiped the server for Hillary and who gave that order.
I wonder why?
Here’s the segment:
No. Do your homework before taking the victory lap.
Andy Boian, crisis management coordinator for Platte River Networks, was introduced as “newly hired”, but the key phrase is “crisis”. He’s a PR guy they hired to manage this debacle, usually on a contract basis but in this outfit’s case I hope he gets his money in advance because they aren’t going to have any customers left before long.
Here is his LinkedIn bio: https://www.linkedin.com/pub/andy-boian/0/b26/b1b
Or to make it easy, I’ll post it below. Note the reference to “#42” with out naming names. He worked for Bill Clinton and even though he’s not the founder of Platte Eiver Networks, you can bet he ran in the same liberal crowd.
A Denver native, Andy is passionate about the integration of business and community. In May of 2005 he founded dovetail solutions, a company that maximizes client partners’ marketing, branding and public relations efforts by bringing together the public, private, political and community sectors to maximize benefit and ROI. He is considered a natural “connector,” a term coined by Malcolm Gladwell. When Andy was 25, he became a Sr. VP of Business Development for a large telecommunications firm based in Denver and was responsible for marketing and community investment in 11 different markets nationwide. Andy’s team grew revenue significantly for four consecutive years. Later, he was instrumental in two different companies exceeding their community involvement goals, and he assisted numerous senior-level executives become well integrated into the communities in which they worked and served. Andy has also been actively involved in politics at the local and national levels as a senior advisor, strategist, and speechwriter. In these capacities he has worked on numerous mayoral, gubernatorial and presidential campaigns for the past 21 years. He served on the transition team for the nation’s 42nd President, and two cabinet nominees for two different presidential administrations. Andy is a part-time professor of Political Science, Public Policy and Intl Studies at Metropolitan State College and the University of Denver. In 2007, Andy was the recipient of the Denver Business Journal’s “Forty Under 40” award and the Colorado Statesman’s “Fifty for the Future.” He speaks frequently on various corporate, community and political topics. In 2011, he was named a distinguished alum from his alma mater.
He is the Immediate past chairman of the Board of the Kempe Foundation, immediate past vice chairman of the Board of the Denver Botanic Gardens, Board of Governors for the Economic Development Corp. in Denver, co-founder of Joy House Shelter for Women and the Denver Future Forum.
I also want to know about any backups. Didn't they make a backup at some point?
I did hear that he was newly hired, but he is working for a email server company. You would expect to see some tech books behind him. So you are saying they hired a Democratic operative to be their spokesman.
OK. Doesn’t change my mind. The company is political more than an IT company.
If I was one of their customers, I would want to know if they had a backup of my data.

They asked him about the story that some of the servers were kept in the bathroom in the old building. First he said he didn’t know, since he wasn’t working there at the time, then he said it was a lie.
BINGO!!!!!
The worst thing that could happen to an IT company that manages a server for a customer would be to lose that data. If that happened not one customer would trust them with their data and they would terminate their contract the next morning.
If there was no backup made, why? Were you contracted by your customer not to make a backup or is your company simply incompetent.
The server was apparently up and running recently. Why and how was it wiped (reformated)? Who wiped it?
I work in a hospital and all our data is stored on servers. It is stored on multiple servers so if one goes down the system remains up and running seemlessly. All the data is also stored on backup magnetic tapes. We can lose a server and we do not even realize as the system keeps going. If we had a catastrophic accident in the computer room that destroyed all the serves we would be shut down. All the data could be restored from magnetic tapes but it would be a long process but it could and would be done.
ps If this is publically traded company I would suggest stockholders sell tomorrow morning.
It seems like the Clinton served was racked in a data center in New Jersey. The Platte River people managed the server, but only rented the rack space in which it was physically located.
Sounds like a Democratic operative to me.
If they don’t want to lose all their customers because of poor data retention practices, this company needs to be more forthcoming about their normal customer agreements. They may have been told not to say anything to the press by the FBI. But they should be able to say they have been requested to keep quiet.
I would expect them to keep a back up of their clients data. That should be spelled out in the agreements.
I wish Jenkins would have asked more questions:
1) Did they keep a backup of Hillary’s email?
2) If they didn’t keep a backup of Hillary’s emails, did they keep a back up of their other clients emails and data?
3) When did the data get deleted from the server?
4) Did anyone ask them to delete the data on Hillary’s server?
5) was the request in writing?
6) Did they delete information from the server?
7) Did the FBI ask for backups?
I wonder if they or someone else owned the data center in New Jersey. Although the company in Denver would be able to do most of their work remotely, they would probably have had someone in New Jersey for emergencies. This is another area for the data to get compromised.
We first heard it was in the basement in Hillary’s home guarded by the Secret Service, then we heard it was kept in a barn, now a data center. Did the Secret Service protect the data center? I very much doubt it.
It was wiped useing military wipe tech. It just means writing random stuff all over the disk many times. Tech is odd tho, as is magnetism. A faint trace of what it was is left. Read it enough times as 1 or 0 with your detector being at the barely level, you can see what was there. Faint traces remain. The FBI has people that do this for food. It is also why I never resell hard drives. To the shredder thanks, after I drill a couple of holes though the platters.
I’ve been amazed at how many simple questions haven’t been asked by the press. Ed Henry tried once, and she replied with a silly statement asking if he meant did she wipe the server with a cloth.
But still, you would think the reporters would ask their own IT departments or other email server companies what questions should be asked.
These rent-a-rack type of data centers are usually highly secured, and they do not let outsiders in. Everything is administered remotely. They have a guy who will physically power your server off and on if you request it, but that’s usually all they offer.
“To the shredder thanks, after I drill a couple of holes though the platters.”
Hopefully Hillary wasn’t that efficient at wiping her disks.
I believe this tech company was set up specifically to provide back door servers for off the books communications for high level inside government progressive operatives.
I’ve seen some very secure data centers (banks), but this was a small company that kept their servers in the bathroom of a building. They may have used a small rent-a-rack company with rent-a-cop guards.
But regardless, I don’t imagine the hackers would have to be physically present to hack Hillary’s email server. I doubt if they were anywhere near her friend’s Sidney Blumenthal physical email server.
