Question about Hillary's Emails...

[jllundqu]

I'm not the most tech-savvy guy, but I think I know enough about how email works. Hillary "erased" thousands of emails and scrubbed her server clean before turning it over to the FBI/DOJ.... so what.

Every single email that was sent to Hillary would be on the SENDER'S server.
Every single email that was sent BY Hillary would be on the RECIPIENT'S server.

No to mention, the home-brew server that Hillary "erased" had a backup, according to the company that set her up, Platte River Networks:

So in theory, there should be a complete or mostly complete record out there... if one were to actually look.

Either people are not looking (IE FBI, Congress) or something else is at play.

Did I miss something? Why is this so hard?

true

Maybe they don't want to find anything.

Not only would the mail be on sender and recipient endpoints, it would, at least for some amount of time, be on any relays in between (though the message bodies or possibly headers could be encrypted). This is what tipped the investigators off- they found headers that showed clintonmail server as a handler for a couple top secret messages that weren't even sent or received by Hillary while she had told them no top secret material ever touched the server. This is a big no, because government peoples will physically separate networks that deal with classified data.

I think they have a bit more than they are letting on, but:

- lawyers are involved; Platte River stands to be the big loser in all of this, because now it is all over the press that they are turning over customer data to the FBI.
- it takes time to do a full forensic, even on a server that hasn't had its drives erased.

This is just freaking hilarious.. Hillary was always known as the paper shredder queen, it never ends...

Why don't they just contact the NSA?

 

[Dr.3D]

Why don't they just contact the NSA?

Or perhaps China. They might know more about what was in that server than Hillery did.

 

[jllundqu]

Why hasn't the IG simply acquired the emails from government servers where the endpoint emails would also be?

To answer the OP, the investigation doesn't much care about the majority of emails she sent, only the ones related to criminal charges. There is a chance they don't know specifically who she sent these "wrong" emails to. Or, a chance they can't just confiscate those emails from people who did nothing wrong and just received them. Hopefully the FBI/DOJ has or will be getting those emails the OP is talking about as they build their case - maybe it's not public so the innocent people who just received the emails aren't linked to thisinvestigation by name.

Are you suggesting the Chinese hacking may have the information about these emails?
Or are you suggesting some of her confidential (or other criminal) emails were sent to some in China?

Except she wasn't supposed to be doing ANY official business on her personal computer, and apparently, she was doing a lot of it.

You don't believe China could have been hacking into her email?

 

[jllundqu]

I don't care about what China may or may or may not have. We will never see anything China or Russia has on Hillary. If anything, they would keep it secret and hope she gets elected then use it to blackmail and control her.

I care about what the US Gov has ACCESS to.

I want some heads to roll. So far, Hillary seems to be wading thru the BS with little ill-effect.

As if the US Gov will let on they have access to anything incriminating. There is most likely too much corruption for that to happen.
