Clinton wiped copies of all email from server

Hillary Clinton no longer has copies of the emails she sent when she was secretary of state, her lawyer acknowledged to a congressional committee. After the former secretary of State turned over government-related emails, the settings on the server were changed so that only emails from the last 60 days would be stored, her lawyer, David Kendall, said, according to the New York Times. “Thus, there are no [e-mail] emails from Secretary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state on the server for any review, even if such review were appropriate or legally authorized,” Kendall said in a letter to the House committee investigating the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya that had subpoenaed the server earlier this month. Clinton has “maintained and preserved copies” of work-related emails, according to Kendall, who did not make it clear whether they were kept in paper or digital form, notes CNN.



The committee had asked for the server to be examined by a third party that could then help determine which emails were personal and which should be considered government records. Yet that appears not to be a possibility any longer. “Secretary Clinton unilaterally decided to wipe her server clean and permanently delete all emails from her personal server,” Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, who chairs the House Benghazi committee, said in a statement.



Gowdy said Republicans would analyze what steps to take. “In light of the secretary’s unprecedented email arrangement with herself and her decision nearly two years after she left office to permanently delete all emails … we will work with the leadership of the House of Representatives as the Committee considers next steps,” he said, according to the Wall Street Journal.



Meanwhile, Secretary of State John Kerry has called on the State Department’s inspector general to review the agency’s recordkeeping practices, reports the Associated Press. The review is going to include an examination of how emails are archived and how the State Department responds to Freedom of Information Act and congressional requests. Clinton’s work-related emails will be published on a website once they are reviewed, the State Department said on Friday.

HRC is now fucked. She can watch her presidential aspirations go down in flames. Wiped, but not archived? That is insane to me. I archive my emails, but I can't speak to our org's server maintenance.

What the.... Why would she do something so dumb?!?! The email was one thing. But at least if she could produce those emails. But she can't. What was she thinking???

[ECB]

I think frank underwood is behind this.

[jeaniebueller]

Shocker. She is done

You say she's dumb, but I suspect it was a smart move.  Whatever was in the emails probably would have ended her presidential aspirations, anyway.  At least this way, there is no proof.

It's something medical.

Sadly I imagine you're probably on to something.

Well crap.

Dudes, this is why the Ds couldn't be hedging their bets on HRC a for President. Now she's done and we still have no one else to put up. Congratulations, President-elect Walker.

She must have MS.

[ringstrue]

Uh yeah wiping your server is pretty damning.

[secretlyevil]

Well hell.

Does the average voter care about this? Or will it just affect her chances of big donations?

I was sitting here trying to think who our next best option is....seriously, who do we have?

From CNN:


"Gowdy said it wasn't clear when Clinton erased the server, but it appears to have been wiped after October 2014, when the State Department asked Clinton to return her official emails to the department."

true.

[gpw]

Well, that's unfortunate. I kind of think Bill could have gotten away with it. Sadly, Hillary is not Bill....someone should have told her that. I think this is classic Clinton behavior.

The Ds need to figure this shit out and quick.

[taratru]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Time to move to Canada?

I don't want a shady president. 

[rosiedozie]

This is really disappointing. I hope that the dems are able to come up with a good candidate...like now. If not, I'm terrified to think what will happen if the R's don't feel like they need to compete with the D's for the moderate vote.

QFT

ETA:  HOWEVER, I wonder if shes's going to take the "Well, those people who care wouldn't have voted for me anyway" tactic.  Watch and see if I'm wrong.  I think she'll let this try and blow over and still run.

I'm really hoping for Jerry Brown.  But I just don't think he's well known enough. 

[Deleted]

It makes no difference whatsoever - she is still the best candidate the D's have, the Rs candidates are all nutters, and thats all the options done.

[summer]

I don't know how much to worry. If the Rs veer way off to the right, then most people I know would just vote for whoever wasn't that person.  It's not ideal, of course, but it is what it is. 

eta: assuming the candidate isn't Clinton. I feel like it could be anyone. 

[iammalcolmx]

So give me a rundown of what happens when the Rs win cause I ain't voting for her.

I love him and what he's done for our state, but he's old...

Whatever she wiped must have been a doozy.

probably not and we will get what is coming with her or Cruz. **I don't believe it'll be Cruz, but he is just as shady.
