Or that various agency heads, including Lois, figured out that the FBI could access their email , email logs, etc. without getting a warrant first.
That wouldn’t give them time to cover up or get rid of evidence.
My guess is that all incriminating conversations were done personally, or via ‘blackberry’ (remember, all top execs got one) using alias email accounts AFTER that point.
This focus on her ‘missing’ emails is a wild goose chase. Any ‘missing’ emails produced will have nothing incriminating on them, further justifying Lois’s claim of innocence.
The POINT is to keep us busy looking for it.
The good Lord already knows where such a thing, should it exist, happens to be.
People are not the only entities who can try cloward-piven, proverbially speaking. The demons of hell will try to busy us out on pointless trivia too.
Forgive me if this sounds trite, but knee-mails to God probably will work best here. (Again proverbially; whatever means of prayer you find to be best, use it.) And, I would beg everybody, please do not try to limit Him up front by wallowing in despair about what supposedly can’t happen. He catches the crafty in their craftiness — this is a promise of the bible.
