We will get more of this type stuff soon.

On November 19, 1998, Independent Counsel Starr testified before the House Judiciary Committee in connection with the Impeachment of Bill Clinton over charges related to the Lewinsky scandal. Here, for the first time, Starr exonerated both President Clinton and the First Lady of complicity in the FBI files matter, saying “while there are outstanding issues that we are attempting to resolve with respect to one individual [we] found no evidence that anyone higher [than Livingstone or Marceca] was in any way involved in ordering the files from the FBI. Second, we have found no evidence that information contained in the files of former officials was used for an improper purpose.”[24] (Starr also chose this occasion to clear President Clinton in the Travelgate matter, and to say that he had not committed impeachable wrongdoing in the Whitewater matter; Democrats on the committee immediately criticized Starr for withholding all these findings until after the 1998 Congressional elections.[25])

In March 2000, Independent Counsel Robert Ray, Starr’s successor, issued the office’s final report on the matter, as part of a concerted effort to wrap up all Whitewater-related cases before the end of Bill Clinton’s term.[26] Ray determined that there was no credible evidence of any criminal activity by any individual in the matter.[27] It attributed the improper collection of the files by Marceca due to his having an outdated Secret Service list of White House passes, as Marceca had originally claimed.[27] It stated that even though Marceca’s statements were sometimes “contradictory and misleading”,[2] they were “sufficiently transparent”[2] and there was insufficient evidence to prove that Anthony Marceca had made false statements to Congress during his testimony.[8] The report ascribed the FBI files matter to “a failure of process at many levels,” saying that the Secret Service had provided critically erroneous data,[2] and that this was compounded by the White House’s informal process of requesting sensitive information by “inexperienced, untrained, and unsupervised personnel with backgrounds as political operatives.”[2]

Based on an investigation that included the prior fingerprint analysis,[27] the report further stated that:

there was no substantial and credible evidence that any senior White House official, or First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, was involved in seeking confidential Federal Bureau of Investigation background reports of former White House staff from prior administrations of President Bush and President Reagan.

—Independent Counsel Robert Ray, [8]

Exit question: Why didn’t she have the server physically destroyed after she left the State Department so that nothing would be recoverable? For that matter, why didn’t she purge her archives and replace the server periodically, precisely so that she could claim it was a normal business practice if/when the feds came calling? The weirdest thing about this scandal is how haphazard Hillary’s behavior was throughout. She took a huge risk to begin with by putting her correspondence on an insecure private server,

Ask Richard Nixon why he didn't destroy the WH recordings. Sometimes the smartest woman in the world makes mistakes.

I have a program called “Phoenix Recovery.” I took a friend’s computer that went through a house fire. I deleted the contents of the hard drive and even formatted it with 2 new partitions and used the disk in a new machine I made.

He realized he wanted some info off the hard drive. Within 6 hours I had the entire contents of the old installation copied to a DVD.

I don’t think Hillary is particularly smart and got a cheap IT shop to set up the server to keep it completely isolated from government control. I have a feeling they didn’t replace and destroy the hard drives. If I can recover a hard drive with a $100 program downloaded from the internet, I’m sure the FBI can. But will Obama let them? Will Obama prosecute her??? I doubt it.

If all these wipe protocols are non-random, then yes. Otherwise, I doubt it.

Who do you think is more likely to cry when Hillary is finally arrested, her or Bill?

Neither. She will not be arrested.
