Tech firm brags about blocking FBI from recovering Clinton emails
The Washington Examiner ^ | August 26th, 2016 | By Sarah Westwood

Posted on 08/26/2016 3:17:31 PM PDT by Mariner

A technology company that provided the program Hillary Clinton's team used to scrub her private server of emails bragged on its website Thursday that it had prevented the FBI from accessing deleted records.

BleachBit, the publicly-available application that was used to deleted some of Clinton's emails ahead of an FBI investigation, said it had not yet been served a subpoena over its involvement in the destruction of potentially classified records.

A headline on the company's website read: "BleachBit stifles investigation of Hillary Clinton."

Rep. Trey Gowdy brought the involvement of the program to light Thursday when he told Fox News that Clinton's emails were so fully deleted that "even God can't read them."

You hit the nail on the head. If this group destroyed Hillary’s emails (which were govt property until released to her) after any court or congressional committee asked/demanded/subpoenaed them, then they are guilty of obstruction of justice, destruction of government property, and possibly aiding and abetting a felony.

Let’s see if the little shits are still laughing after the FBI pays them a visit or too (as long as the visitor isn’t Comey).

Not only that, but “destruction of public records”, “mishandling of classified documents”, “Destruction of evidence in a criminal matter accessory before the fact”, “criminal conspiracy to destroy evidence”. These people, all of them should be swinging for treason. If this woman is elected president it will be wholly through election fraud.

They sold software whose usage was not under their control. This makes them possibly morally complicit but definitely not legally complicit.

It would seem that every intelligence agency in every nation has a copy of Hillary’s emails.... except for the the United States and the FBI.

If they were emails, they were at least at one time on someone else’s computer. That’s how Comey got his most recent batch. So unless they were bleached on the other end they may still be out there.

BleachBit made James Comey a girl. Wonder how many cigarettes Comey fetches on the open market?

Only if Clinton needs the diversion.

I’d love to see the details on that. Do you have a link?

No, unfortunately. It was some Freeper in some post on Hillary weeks ago or more - maybe about the time Rotten Cotton Clinton was found “innocent.” As I recall it was only three lines for each incident.

Why would you need to hide emails about weddings and yoga from God? Unless...? Well perhaps Mr. Assange received copies of said emails before they were ‘hidden’.

Some quick research turns up that Comey was: deputy special counsel to the Senate Whitewater Committee while serving as Managing Assistant U.S. Attorney in charge of the Richmond Division of the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

As U.S. Attorney Comey he took over the investigation into President Bill Clinton’s controversial pardon of Marc Rich.

Interestingly, Comey led the prosecution of Martha Stewart who was considered for the charges of securities fraud, obstruction of justice, and lying to an FBI agent.

Is BleachBit applied to the server with a cloth?

Once a fingerprint is gone, it’s gone.

Same with magnetic signatures. Very delicate.

What we can do to recover is limited. Amazing what can be done, but the sensitivity required to detect ‘scrubbed’ magnetic traces has a limit.

But fortunately, there are other copies of emails.

There are more copies of her emails walking around the globe than Bill’s genetic contributions to the ladies.

“Tech firm brags about blocking FBI from recovering Clinton emails”

And shoots itself in the foot...bragging about blocking emails that were a security risk...or why else block them?
In a sane world they should get a little visit from the FBI.
