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."
Lo tech solution to a high tech problem.
Bet Huma said she’d take care of the old phones that weren’t smashed, just guessing.
and
*when donations came in to Slush Fund* ??!!
Smashing -> Hammer
Wiping -> Cloth
No wonder Hill is so easily confused over these technical things. LMAO
LOCK HER UP!
LOCK HER UP!
LOCK HER UP!
Clinton: “So what?”
Unless he really knew what he was doing, chances are the memory devices wouldn’t be damaged by hammering the thing. However they probably would not contain any info of interest as mail wouldn’t be stored in nonvolatile memory like pics, mp3s, yoga schedules, etc might be.
Good one!
<><>why the need to viscously destroy the devices?
(hat tip UCANSEE2): All part of the draft technique...commonly used on Capitol Hill by our "leaders." Reports say the "draft" technique is what Hillary used on several phones.
(a) create a DRAFT EMAIL and dont send it.
(b) give your phone to whomever you want to communicate with, and get a new phone with the same number.
(c) The person to whom you give the phone, can then see your EMAIL and look at the DRAFT.
(d) Once read, they delete it.
It never gets sent through servers ...there is no electronic trail.....the evidence is gone.
(e) lastly, the phone must be smashed to destroy any remaining data (like a PC, deleted files are not actually erased).
Save
You can take the Clintons out of Arkansas, but you can’t take the Arkansas out of the Clintons.....
Hillary AND her staff knew the only way to DESTROY the evidence was to ake a hammer to the hard drive. So that’s what they did.
And the butt-kissers in the press? They’re too stupid to see what this means ‘cause their democrat handlers didn’t ‘feed their editors’ this story.
And the FBI? They’re NOT too stupid to ‘see what this means’ - they’re too corrupt.
Yep, ‘the press’ is fretting about Trump’s ‘tone’ as if that mattered a wit and the FBI’s gone political...
<><> why were the Clinton factotums so savagely aggressive?
<><>why the need to viscously destroy the devices?

A plan which could only be conceived by a devious mind. Mata Hari strikes again.
One of our younger relatives was an II/computer wizard.
He recommended the same procedure as you recommended except to use a metal bucket to hold the hot water, bleach, salt and your drilled hard drive after you drilled the holes into the hard drive.
Leave it over night and throw it way.
Hmmm, not so sure about the metal bucket.
Metal buckets introduce Zinc as a sacrificial metal; which would donate electrons to the iron to retard corrosion. I am just a silly engineer, so metallurgy was one of my college fetishes; stainless steel sinks have some trace amounts of Nickel and possibly Zinc (depending upon SS formulation).
My 12 hours of Chem don’t help me here.
He advised using an old galvanized bucket. My last treatment of a hard disk was a year ago May/June, and he still recommended it.
I honestly doubt it. As a matter of fact, I do not believe they store powder for anything. If they did they shouldve been firing and reloading as fast as Obama has been running roughshod over the constitution.
I think that when Trump wins he will have to fight both parties to put Hitlary in jail.
I’ve had a cell phone since 1998, which I upgraded every 2 years. During that time, I helped raise 3 kids, had a full time job, took care of a household, and stayed active physically. I have NEVER once lost my cell phone. The level of incompetence and negligence shown by this beast is off the charts! Of course, she wasn’t paying for a new phone....WE WERE!
Physically destroyed while in office or after the FBI demanded she turn them over. Big difference between the two which the article failed to distinguish.
