No doubt they removed all the emails. Why not? If they turn them over the whole administration crashes down and maybe even an impeachment. If they delete them (or hide them) then it becomes a matter of “will” on the part of the repubs. They probably made the correct choice.

I believe you nailed it precisely. Given that disclosure of such politically damaging information would likely bring them all down, its far better to seen as “merely incompetent” and feign regret. That said, the incompetence thing may still come back to bite them as those email are almost certainly retrievable; it just takes more work but it can be done.
The question is: are the Republicans even less competent than the Democrats? Do they realize that emails are also saved on the receiving side and are they smart and persistent enough to get them? I’m not optimistic about they. The Pubbies are normally all talk and no action.
