FBI Files: Clinton Aide Smashed Hillary's Old Phones—With a Hammer!
PJ Media ^ | SEPTEMBER 3, 2016 | DEBRA HEINE

Posted on 09/03/2016 12:02:05 PM PDT by Mr. Mojo

One of the biggest bombshells to come out of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Labor Day weekend document dump on the Clinton email investigation is the revelation that she had used thirteen mobile devices to access emails on her private server, and at least eight of them were used while she was secretary of state, undermining her claim that she had only used one.

The FBI was unable to obtain any of those devices according to the documents -- and now we can guess why. The FBI discovered that at least two of Clinton's Blackberrys had been physically destroyed. With a HAMMER.

The FBI said in a report that an aide to Bill Clinton, Justin Cooper, recalled "two instances where he destroyed Clinton's old mobile phones by breaking them in half or hitting them with a hammer." Clinton had 13 mobile devices that she potentially used to access emails on her private clintonemail.com server based out of her Chappaqua, New York home, according to the FBI.

The FBI report said that "the whereabouts of Clinton's devices would frequently become unknown once she transitioned to a new device."

The revelation from Cooper reveals that at least two of the devices were scrubbed of all information before being physically destroyed.

"The real issue is she was trying to destroy evidence," said Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI) on Fox News Saturday morning. "After Congress subpoenaed documents, after the FOIA requests, after the New York Times laid out that she had a private server, what did she do? They smashed her old Blackberrys, number one, and they took a Bleachbit to destroy a portion of the emails that were on the server!" Duffy exclaimed.

He added, "who on earth destroys emails that are about your yoga schedule, or about Chelsea's wedding, or condolence notes. You only destroy evidence if its going to indicate that you've committed a crime...or it's politically toxic for your presidential campaign."

"There's so much smoke here, we believe there has to be fire," Duffy said. And he indicated that Republicans may hold Clinton in contempt for lying to congress in testimony last fall about her private email server.

"We can hold her in contempt of Congress and send that to the Justice Department," Duffy said. "But do you think the Obama Department of Justice is going to pursue charges against Hillary Clinton? Not."

What’s the explanation for why she would need 13 different phones?

Obama’s a big fan. He loved going to Cominskey Field.

“The problem is no ratpublicans want to hold her in contempt......”...........

Is it possible said republicans are keeping their powder dry until a President Trump is sworn in?

Bet Huma said she'd take care of the old phones that weren't smashed, just guessing.

After all she was Hillary's top aid and would have been around when Hillary got a new phone and needed to dispose of an old one, just guessing again.

Easier way and more effective.
Drill a few holes through the hard drive, this takes out the chips, mechanical control mechanisms and tears perforations in the media. The media contains nano-sized bits of iron.

Next, take your kitchen sink and fill it with warm water and add some table salt and some bleach. Soak the hard drive in this overnight. In the morning, drain the sink and toss It, wet the garbage. Let chemistry do its magic. Between the bleach removing the oils, the salt water will corrode the iron and oxidize it to the point of non-recovery.

Quick, easy and done.

And Comey still didn’t think he had enough evidence to recommend an indictment, so the republicans (our so-called “elected” officials) said ________.

No wonder Tom Brady supports Trump.

Brady gets a four-game suspension when he smashes his cell phone. She gets off scot free.

I seem to remember the Washington Post 40 years ago going berserk for weeks about Nixon’s secretary, Rose Mary Woods, supposedly erasing 18.5 minutes of presidential tapes that had been subpoaened. Should she have used a hammer, Washington Post, then you might have kept silent in your hysteria about hiding documents and information.

If Hillary loses what are the chances she runs in 2020? It could happen.

If hillary loses, she’ll be either in prison or a country we have no extradition treaty with.

Schizophrenia is why you need 13 phones. Multiple personality disorder. The 13 yous each need their own number.
