The story of how Hillary's "personal" emails came to be deleted using, the now infamous, BleachBit is quite the tale. Below we attempt to piece together how the story unfolded per the recent FBI disclosures.

Here is a quick summary of the timeline of events:

February 2013 – Hillary resigns from State Department

Spring 2013 – Hillary aide Monica Hanley backs up Pagliano Server to Apple MacBook and a thumb drive

...

December 2014 – Hillary delivers 55,000 emails to State Department

December 2014 / January 2015 – Heather Samuelson and Cheryl Mills request emails be deleted from their computer using BleachBit

December 2014 / January 2015 – “Unknown Clinton staff member” instructs PRN to remove archives of Clinton emails from PRN server

March 2, 2015 - NYT releases an article showing that Hillary used a personal email server in violation of State Department rules

March 4, 2015 – Hillary receives subpoena from House Select Committee on Benghazi instructing her to preserve and deliver all emails from her personal servers

March 25, 2015 – Undisclosed PRN Staff Member has a conference call with “President Clinton’s Staff” March 25 – 31, 2015 – Undisclosed PRN Staff Member has “oh shit” moment and realizes he forgot to wipe Hillary’s email archive from the PRN server back in December…which he promptly does using BleachBit despite later admitting he "was aware of the existence of the preservation request and the fact that it meant he should not disturb Clinton's e-mail data on the PRN server."...

I'm not an attorney, but this is obstruction of justice in anyone's book.

Better let the cemetery know—lots of new dead bodies on the way.

Presumably one of them is the individual whose name is redacted.

Even in federal civil court, violating a non-destruct order from the court is a very serious matter, including the court’s ability to construe the deletion as an admission of the claims of the opposing party.

Since the Federal government is not willing to enforce the law equally, they can't enforce the law at all.

Except at gunpoint. They have NO moral authority to enforce the law at all, any more.

And it's all thanks to Hillary, the Queen of DC Drama.

[Leaning Right]

but this is obstruction of justice in anyone's book

Not in the FBI's book. You see, there was no intent. And there will always be "no intent" as far as Hillary's crimes go.

Of course, "no intent" is not a legal defense for average folks. But for powerful lefties it works like a charm.

If I am accused. Just ACCUSED of kiddie porn, the cops come in with subpoenas and take everything. I do not get a choice.

Now, accused of Kiddie Porn is a bit less serious than say, oh .... Sharing Top Secret, Secret or classified documents. But, what do I know?

If you are Hillary, the rules simply do not apply.

[Tench_Coxe]

And yet Comey denies "any intention". If only he was honest and said:"we're not going to prosecute and there is nothing any of you can do about it."

This is where the US is at, sadly.

Even in federal civil court, violating a non-destruct order from the court is a very serious matter, including the court’s ability to construe the deletion as an admission of the claims of the opposing party.

So, basically - if you did this, and the federal civil court wanted to sanction you, due to Hillary Clinton's precedent, you could construe the sanction as a tyrannical governmental assault on your life and property [unequal application of the laws], and take self-defensive measures.

More shovel ready jobs, eh?

[Sarah Barracuda]

There is a reason why they didnt reveal this info til Friday, otherwise known as the Friday dump, people are off for Labor Day weekend, no one will be watching TV to hear about this..bottom line, this b*tch belongs in JAIL along with the rest of her “I dont recall” cronies..that includes Cheryl Mills, she pulled the same “I dont recall” nonsense, same with Huma Abedin, they are ALL corrupt

[SubMareener]

Now this article is going to be posted over and over because search won’t work on a changed title!

If only he was honest and said:"we're not going to prosecute and there is nothing any of you can do about it."

There is nothing any of us can do about THAT. But, there's this trivial little matter of enforcing Federal law going forward.

What if your targets consider you to be the bandidos in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre - and rightly so?

[Crucial]

This is called tampering with evidence for us common folk.

[TigersEye]

I'll bet Barney could find the intent here.

Of course, "no intent" is not a legal defense for average folks.

"Officer, I did not intend to drink the pint of bourbon - gravity put it down my gullet."
