Unbeknownst to Clinton, IT firm had emails stored on cloud; now in FBI’s hands

WASHINGTON

A Connecticut company, which backed up Hillary Clinton‘s emails at the request of a Colorado firm, apparently surprised her aides by storing the emails on a “cloud” storage system designed to optimize data recovery.

The firm, Datto Inc., said Wednesday that it turned over the contents of its storage to the FBI on Tuesday.

A Republican Senate committee chairman, Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, also has asked the firm to provide the committee copies of any data from Clinton’s account still in its possession.

There were conflicting accounts as to whether the developments could lead to retrieval of any of Clinton’s more than 31,000 personal emails, which she said she deleted from her private server upon turning over her work-related emails to the State Department, at its request, in December 2014.

Congressional Republicans have voiced skepticism as to whether the 30,940 business emails that the Democratic presidential candidate handed over represented all of those related to her position as secretary of state. Clinton has said her lawyers carefully pruned them.

The FBI is separately investigating whether Clinton’s arrangement put classified information at risk but has yet to characterize it as a criminal inquiry. . .

This is a big dog and pony show. The FBI will come back and say: “After a complete analysis there is no evidence of any wrongdoing.”

Any email host worth its salt has backups out the ying yang and backups of their backups. Old backups don’t die, they just lurk in the background forever.

If Hillary does not abandon her race soon I’m guessing she believes she at least has a chance of overcoming whatever might be recovered.

Assuming we have an honest, uncorrupted FBI and Justice Department, this should sink the USS President Hillary.

Uh...”Criminal” is the only kind of “inquiry” the FBI does!

The only way Classified Satellite data gets on an unsecure server is via Felony.

Since the person doing the transfer knows this, they would only do it if they were directed by Hillary.

Likewise.

Any mere peon working in the military/intelligence community who did what Hildebeeste did would already be under the jail. The Beast still slouches about the country, free as a bird.

Yes, some media outlets like NBC are giving her free face time but yesterday, the Washington Post had a short video clip of how her excuses evolved. I think that source is conflicted as possibly many others.

She's still being supported favorably by local news media here in Iowa.

God I hope not but I suspect you to be correct. Remember this people there is a layer of caves and morlocks below operating system level when you run on the cloud. They can probably dump your private key from RAM and then you’re done. That said I love the cloud just be very careful what you put there.

Unless she unloads on Obama on some of the emails. She has bound to have done it.
