"Clinton was not completely forthcoming when she turned over... emails"

Business Insider:  [T]hree messages — which appear to have been found among electronic files of four former top Clinton State Department aides — included Clinton's own explanation of why she wanted her emails kept private. In a November 2010, email, Clinton worried that her personal messages could become accessible to outsiders. Two other messages a year later divulged possible security weaknesses in the home email system she used while secretary of state.
The emails appear to contain work-related passages, raising questions about why they were not turned over to the State Department last year. The inspector general noted that Clinton's production of work-related emails was "incomplete," missing not only the three emails but numerous others covering Clinton's first four months in office. (read the whole thing)
A reddit comment shed some light on what may have happened to the home brew server now in custody of the FBI.
Despite what you hear, Clinton did a very good job wiping her servers of data before handing them over. Rewriting random data over the disks until no one ever would be able to retrieve said data.   What she did not know is that when the server was set up there was a cloud backup used. (using a company that didn't have clearance to store classified information!) When the FBI found out about the cloud they asked the company for that data. At the same time Clinton demanded that the company delete that data. The company complied with the FBI. And so the FBI has all the cloud backups. Now how much was backed up and for how long, no one knows. But we would not be even talking about it if she knew about the cloud before the FBI did. We got lucky, Clinton did not.

So the video that Cruz made is not that far off.

She went to great lengths to destroy e-mails about yoga.

If that is true about the cloud, we may finally get to know what really happened the night of Benghazi.

The thing about this email scandal that maybe different from all the others is that computer techs are not as susceptible to whatever machinations the Clintons have used over the years to stay one step ahead of the sheriff.

A tech is not going to prefer to do jail time by not testifying, in order to protect the Clintons.

Hillary could not have anticipated that... kind of disloyalty.

Mills, the consigliere, is protected by her claims of attorney client privilege.

Not so Huma. Huma, however, would be perfectly willing to do time for her.

Fortunately, she's computer illiterate.

"As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton never used a password to protect her computer emails, and she was clueless about how regular emails work on a conventional computer, according to a deposition of a foreign service officer at the State Department."

I guess the State Department doesn't do the dreaded how-we-do-things/induction training.

"Earned" - LOL only the NYT could call it earned.

The big American sell out. The elites media a-holes want some.

You may be able to destroy the paper trail, but that digital trail is a killer.

"Earned" in the IRS sense of earned income, done by performing some service or selling some form of goods. It's a slush fund and the world knows it.

Ready for Hillary people just don’t care, neither about this nor the dozen other smoking guns that conservatives think would kill a normal candidate.
The only way H! will go away, is if the top of the tree democrat leadership turns on her. Starting with Obama and the supers.

edutcher said...

That's already happened.

Yeah, the acolytes won't see the light until it's rubbed in their faces like Germany in '45.

Like Willie and Pissy, she's benefitted from a compliant media that's been willing to cover for her, but the war between the Os and the Ozarks has worn that away. Add to that she's clumsy, mean, unlikable, and (dare I say?) old and the fact we're still talking about this is largely because the media allows it.

Not completely forthcoming. Uh, you mean LIED!!!

You ever see Huma talk? She's a fucking bizarro wacknut. There isn't anything special about her other than she tends to her ladies needs like a handmaiden.

And she is a Muslim ? like Valerie Jarrett and each have spent some of their early years in the Arab desert area.

AJ Lynch:

Huma Abedin is Muslim of Indian background who's family are Saudi Nationals. Her family also has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. But he, no big deal.

Now consider she married the most pro Israel JEW in the House. And not much of a peep about it from the usual suspects. Of course she spends all her time with Hillary, and they even share the same hotel room (supposedly to make sure Hillary is safe).

Do you think she could possibly be a plant?
