The new revelation that Hillary Clintons private server was made blank in June 2013 but nonetheless stored at a data center in New Jersey raises a slew of new questions about the former secretary of states handling of her emails.
The attorney for Platte River Networks, the Denver-based cybersecurity company Clinton hired shortly after leaving office to handle the server, says that she does not know why the hardware would have been stored in a New Jersey data center if it was blank.
The server that was turned over to the FBI voluntarily yesterday to our knowledge has no information on it, the attorney, Barbara Wells, told The Daily Caller in a brief phone interview.
On Wednesday, after Platte River Networks gave the server to the FBI, Wells told The Washington Post that the information from it had been migrated over to a different server for purposes of transition in June 2013.
That revelation is significant because until now, most observers have assumed that Clinton wiped her server clean sometime after October, when the State Department sent a letter requesting that she hand over all of her emails. Clintons attorney, David Kendall, informed the House Select Committee on Benghazi in late March that the server had been wiped clean.
But the new claim that the server has been useless for more than two years indicates that when Clinton finally did produce her emails in December 55,000 pages worth they were drawn from a different device. . .

You know what would be fun?
This is a perfect opportunity for the NSA to (ahem-ahem) examine that wiped server using super-dooper top-secret techniques, after which (quelle surprise) all of those deleted emails suddenly and magically reappear.
Of course, what they would really be doing is simply restoring the server from the backups that I know darn well they have because if there is one thing I am absolutely sure of, the same NSA that scans our emails, tracks our cell phones, and (HI GUYS!) monitors all of our FR postings is NOT going to be so incompetent as to ignore an unsecured server being operated illegally by the United States Secretary of State.
Now, whether they will or not, thats a different story, but they could do it. Plus, this would give them deniability because they would not have to admit to having them in the first place. Nope nope, we just recovered them from the server. How? Sorry, cant discuss how it works. Top secret, need to know, all that.
Look! Totally blank!
I don't really think that happened. But it is beyond doubt that withholding of evidence and destruction of evidence has occurred. And we're dealing with improper storage of Top Secret material -- probably large quantities of such.
It's completely blatant. Any normal human would be guaranteed jail time for this. But she's important, so it's whatever.

And then, there’s the lawsuit...which was news to me, and seems like a damned big deal...
This woman has agendas we can only guess at.
My guess is that the original server used while Hillary was Secretary of State was disposed of by the Clintons or remains in their possession. Commonly, data migration from a private to a commercial server located off site is done over the internet. If so, then the FBI and other pursuers were deliberately misdirected toward the now blank hard drive that was once part of a commercial server farm run by Platte River Network. If so, as these associated evasions and deceptions are revealed, the pressure on Hillary will increase as the process drags out and the election approaches.
what about the server in Co, who has that and are they sure it’s her’s?
In other words, they admitted this server was wiped cleaned some time ago, and before she gave the 55K emails. So, it means the data is stored somewhere else. The FBI has a server that’s empty.
This is going “wheels within wheels”. Gets more interesting every day
And now suddenly al the stories are about her turning over her “server AND backup thumb drive”. When did the thumb drive magically show up? And I wonder if someone tipped Congress about it’s existence....
I heard on one TV news show (don’t remember which one) that one of the emails that was turned over includes an inquiry about a book on computer security that covers how to delete emails and have them “stay deleted”. That said, the FBI is very good at undeleting stuff from hard drives. Unless she had a real expert do it, it’s probably still there.
You couldn’t make it up!
Clinton and her lawyers figure destruction of evidence and obstruction of justice are lesser crimes than what they really committed. Which was selling classified information to the enemies of this country in exchange for contributions to the Clinton Foundation. In other words treason.
It doesn’t really work that way. The hard drives that work in servers do not work in desktops and vice versa, for the most part. It is highly unlikely that your local Staples or Office Depot would have a hard drive that would actually function in the type of server that is usually used to provide Exchange Server services.
Moreover, I suspect that, forensically speaking, an investigator would easily be able to tell the difference between a brand new hard drive and one that had contained data and was wiped.
Wouldn’t this be perjury or obstruction of justice?
I like the way you think.
Platte River Networks and the officers and employees of it are I DEEP SHIITE!! They are Abettirs.
[Wouldnt this be perjury or obstruction of justice?]
Sure. It’s destruction of evidence.
Some of the stories refer to “.pst files” on the thumb drive. That file requires an email client in order for the user to be able to read specific emails. IOW’s she’d have to copy that information onto another hard-drive, most-likely, to be able to read/write data (ie. delete personal emails). Where are THOSE computers?
It would seem that everytime a piece of classified information gets “mishandled” that there is another ‘count’ added to her crime.
