Hillary Clinton’s e-mail server turned over to FBI
Washington Post ^ | 08/13/2015 | By Tom Hamburger and Karen Tumulty

Posted on 08/13/2015 8:14:45 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

The e-mail server used by Hillary Rodham Clinton when she served as secretary of state was turned over to the FBI late Wednesday afternoon from a private data center in New Jersey, according to an attorney familiar with the transfer.

“It was picked up about 4 p.m.,” said Barbara J. Wells, a Denver lawyer who represents Platte River Networks Inc., a small computer services firm that has managed the Clintons’ private e-mail system since mid-2013.

Wells said her client was contacted by the FBI, which expressed interest in obtaining the old server. The FBI did not have a search warrant or subpoena and did not interview her clients, she said.

The FBI’s request for information about Clinton’s e-mail system followed a referral from the intelligence community’s inspector general to the Justice Department in July.

Intelligence officials expressed concern that sensitive information was not in the government’s possession and could be “compromised.” The referral did not accuse Clinton of wrongdoing, and officials familiar with the inquiry have said that the FBI is not targeting her.

In addition to obtaining the old server, the FBI recently obtained a thumb drive in the possession of Clinton’s lawyer, David Kendall, that contained copies of work e-mails kept on the server.

Before it was taken to the data center in New Jersey, the server had been in the basement of the Clintons’ private home in Chappaqua, N.Y., during the time she was secretary of state, according to people familiar with the Clintons’ e-mail network.

TAKE NOTE FOR ALL YOU DATA SLEUTHS OUT THERE...

After she left government service in early 2013, the Clintons decided to upgrade the system, hiring Platte River as the new manager of a privately managed e-mail network. The old server was removed from the Clinton home by Platte River and stored in a third party data center, which are set up to provide security from threats of hacking and natural disaster, Wells said.

Platte River Networks has retained control of the old server since it took over management of the Clintons’ e-mail system. She said that the old server “was blank,” and no longer contained useful data.

“The information had been migrated over to a different server for purposes of transition,” from the old system to one run by Platte River, she said, recalling the transfer that occurred in June 2013.

“To my knowledge the data on the old server is not available now on any servers or devices in Platte River Network’s control.”

TRY FOLLOWING THE TRAIL FROM THERE...

Notice how none of the usual democrats and their media mouthpieces, James Carville, are nowhere to be seen defending her. A lot of crickets coming to her rescue. Funny how that is.

The FBI (there are 950 files on the wall)
historically will do NOTHING against a Clinton.

Sadly, Whitey Bulger may have been more of a patriot
than these haters of the US Constitution and Law.

A consequence of Congress’ slow walking.

By now things have become so convoluted that no one will be able to determine what happened. They’ll know something happened but no one will be able to figure it out.

Good! Then maybe it was really James O'Keefe and David Daleiden.

“the old server “was blank,””

“To my knowledge the data on the old server is not available now on any servers or devices in Platte River Network’s control.”

I guess I’m not sophisticated enough to understand why a government employee gets to pro-actively prevent the government from archiving her communications.

After it had been “SCRUBBED”, edited, redacted, manipulated, and erased.

Did the sever erase itself ?

Just wondering …………………………...

So all the data was transferred from Clintons server to the Platte Rivers servers and then deleted? Absolutely no reason to do that. Could’ve just destroyed the original server after pulling everything off.
I call BS.

Issa and Gowdy will not rest until they get to the bottom of this and make sure it will never ever happen again. Focused like a laser, they are.

I’m betting they won’t find a thing. You can format and repartition a hard drive 7 times and the best recovery software out there will find almost nothing.

She’s had more than enough time to have it repartitioned and formatted 30 times. The server should have been taken the day she said she had it.

They won’t find a thing, Hillary will say “See, I told you so” and walk away without a scratch.

Several songs have been written about Hillary, whether the composers knew it or not. Most have been titled Evil Woman...

So what the gist of the WP article is Hillary moved the aborted, lobotomized server (totally blank) to the NEW JERSEY location to restart the obfuscation, concealment and sequestering of all data anew in her preparation for her run to the presidency.

I’d hazard that the drives on this server have been expertly cleansed and won’t reveal any former email or data, unless there is some capability the NSA has she or her ghouls don’t know about.

You put me on a jury and this b!tch gonna have to get used to the color orange pantsuit.

Hill and Bill never cared or worried about all the dead bodies they left behind. A measly server is so trivial to them.
