FBI Admits Clinton Used Software Designed To "Prevent Recovery" And "Hide Traces Of" Deleted Emails
Zero Hedge ^ | 26 August 2016 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 08/27/2016 7:18:41 AM PDT by Lorianne

South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy appeared on Fox News today and disclosed new details about the Clinton email scandal that seem to indicate intent to destroy evidence. Per the clip below, Gowdy reveals that Clinton used "BleachBit" to erase the "personal" emails from her private server.

For those not familiar with the software, BleachBit is intended to help users delete files in a way to "prevent recovery" and "hide traces of files deleted." Per the BleachBit website:

Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster.

During his appearance on Fox, Gowdy clearly indicates that Clinton's use of BleachBit undermines her claims that she only deleted innocuous "personal" emails from her private server.

...yet no intent to break the law found.

Good grief!! They don't even try to hide it any longer.

Bleachbit huh? Criminals attempt to hide their crimes, using bleach. Wow. Breath taking the overt criminality that has overtaken this gubbamint.

You know, with all certainty, when the Dept. of “JUSTICE” and it's investigative arm, the “FBI” engage in an ongoing conspiracy to obstruct justice...we've all but lost our gubbamint.

What should really happen is his Congressional testimony should be scrubbed.

Betcha he danced around this little detail.

“Oh. You didn’t ask about that!”

He’s close to perjury and obstruction of justice.

There’s your intent, Comey!

The FBI is as corrupt as every other agency of Fedzilla.

This is weak. It is standard procedure for government organizations and companies to wipe hard drives before disposing of them. My computer and several I work with come pre-installed with utilities to prevent recovery, e.g., Linux's shred utility.

Note: if the only file on her hard drive that was passed to bleachbit was the email file, the claim rises from weak to strong, but I have yet to see that get claimed.

Sorry but I have to yell.

IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO DELETE EVIDENCE FOR ANY REASON REGARDLESS IF IT HAS OR HAS NOT BEEN ASKED FOR.

Which means she broke the law and everyone is covering up for her.

“It is standard procedure for government organizations and companies to wipe hard drives before disposing of them.”

There are federal statutes concerning the preservation and secure handling of government documents. It wasn’t within Hillary’s authority to destroy the government documents that were in her possession.

if a Tea Party group used BleachBit
during any Audit or Investigation...........
