Datto, Inc, which stored Hillary's national security secrets when it backed up her private server claims it runs 'data fortresses' monitored by 24 hour security; that only a retinal or palm scan allows access. But its Bern Township, PA facility, doesn't have a perimeter fence or security checkpoints and has two reception areas.

An email sent by a subcontractor suggests that Hillary Clinton’s deputies repeatedly directed them to erase months-old backups of her State Department emails, just as federal officials began asking for the emails. The email was described Tuesday, in a letter sent by Senator Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI)66% , the chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee. Johnson’s letter outlines the complicated arrangement between Hillary Clinton’s operating company, Clinton Executive Services Corp. and its computer-server subcontractor, Platte River Networks. The Platte River subcontractor used a email backup device operated by another firm, Datto. Johnson writes: “It also appears [Platte...

The FBI seized four servers from the State Department building a few weeks ago as part of the investigation into classified material improperly stored on Hillary Clinton’s secret email server, particularly the Top Secret documents that have been discovered in her email trove. This revelation comes from Bill Gertz at the Washington Free Beacon, citing anonymous sources familiar with the investigation. Gertz notes that the State Department referred questions about the seized servers to the FBI, which declined to comment on the matter.

Washington (CNN)Employees at the company that maintained Hillary Clinton's private email server expressed concern among themselves about the way the former secretary of state's team directed them to manage data backups after the FBI started looking into the arrangements, according to emails obtained by a senator.

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’s another data company involved in the Hillary Clinton email saga. The FBI is trying to get a hold of Datto Inc.’s backup server to see if any of Clinton’s State Department emails can be found on it. It appears the company was hired to be the backup in May 2013, which is after Clinton left the State Department. The Washington Post writes that could mean Datto has just a few Clinton’s emails. Of course, it also means they could have a few years’ worth. A Datto official said that investigators may be able to recover the e-mails if...

The FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton’s email has now expanded to include obtaining data from a second tech company, which is fully cooperating with the FBI probe that has threatened Clinton’s bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, Fox News has learned.

FBI investigations center on whether a second data company stored or transmitted classified information improperly. Connecticut-based, Datto Inc, provided backups for Clinton's e-mail accounts starting May 2013 by Colorado-based Platte River Networks, hired earlier by the Clinton family to manage the system after Hillary exited State. Datto's general counsel Michael Fass said Datto had received the Clinton's and from Platte River to turn over data. The FBI would receive a “node,” a piece of hardware Datto housed in Pennsylvania that stored data on its cloud. It is not clear whether the data includes material from Clinton’s time as secretary of...
