Just how does the FBI delete files that are on an external hard drive or stored in a way that is not on the internet? Some may even be printed out. The olden days of Dems going through the trash of potential candidates for office or a judgeship are sure out of date.
The feds told the fed contractors to delete the data.
The fed contractors said "Oh yeah, sure, we did that."
The feds walk away humming patriotic songs and proclaiming they have done their duty.
