30,000 emails when did she find time to do anything else
But can't the recycling bin be "recovered" as well?
IIRC, during the Bush administration some staffer had tried to do that, put things into the recycle bin. But the dems on the investigating committee had an IT guy find them pretty easily. Rush mentioned this on his radio program.
IT specialists, correct me if I'm wrong, but short of burning or literally pulverizing a computer, EVERYTHING is "recoverable".
