Why would they have tried to recover emails when they purposely destroyed her computer?

The job I'm bidding right now has us replacing a dozen valves like this. it takes some serious dint to pull these suckers out, since they've been in place since 1942.

This guy was not in charge then. So, he could blame prior management and share our outrage at these mistakes. Vow to get to the bottom of things, etc.

That he doesn’t is very telling.

Obama, twice elected by dint
Of the fact that his skin has a tint
Though he loves being ruler

He’s just clueless; please give him a hint

oh his demeanor is extremely telling. Oreilly said he was a big donor and he’s obviously a partisan, so he’s not batting an eye at this.

I’m glad i’m not one of the guys who does that work. They are 125’ down in a shaft under a reservoir with air-arc cutters cutting off bolts cover with all kinds of nasty “stuff” and have to have air supplied to them by a big hose. And the leaks make it like it’s raining, so they have to have fireproof raingear, and the air is so thick with moisture and smoke, visibility is about 3 feet.

I’m too much of a wimp to do that stuff. i like my cushy office chair now.
