Suppose she has a “personal” lawyer and a “government” lawyer...
Oh...the inconvenience !

[The Cajun]

making the request

We all know that ain't going to accomplish anything.

What comes next Trey?

[EagleUSA]

This should be interesting. Horribly bent Hillary has probably already “cleaned” the server and that could hang her right there. She has broken the rules, as usual, to hide her crooked dealings — now let’s see how Gowdy manages this.

[CivilWarBrewing]

Why doesn't the committee subpoena NSA headquarters for Hillary's emails?

Maybe her emails are sandwiched between the Bergdahl report and Lois Lerner's emails.

[blueunicorn6]

Gotta take it step by step. The Democrats will scream if every step isn’t followed.

“We would have given them the server if they had just asked. This just shows that it’s all a big right wing conspiracy.”

The Clintons think they are real clever and can get away with anything.

Get ‘em Trey!

[asinclair]

To what purpose would such a seizure of the Clinton private server do? When the "private" e-mails are deleted, those sectors are reclaimed and can be written over. Spam can, and would, do that. Ditto any logs, so the "metadata" would be gone by now. And to make things worse, there is free software that will perform a "DOD-grade" erase on all free space on the drive, so that even the NSA would have difficulty recovering the data.

If a third party were to do a full security audit on the box, that only says what is true now, not over the entire time the server was running.

About the only useful thing that could come out of this is that same security audit could check for malware -- we wouldn't know when it was injected, but at least it could confirm or bust Clinton's claim about whether the server was compromised or not.

SUMMARY: too little too late.

[hoosiermama]

CLOUD? Did she use some kind of back up system? A good IT should be able to recover it all

[StoneWall Brigade]

Ping

[radu]

Way too late, Trey. Shoulda done it the moment you learned about it last summer!

[demshateGod]

Meanwhile, over on CNN, Lindsey Vonn wins something or other and Glee cast: then and now.

[Zeppo]

Benghazi committee officially requests Clinton surrender her email server

What a strange turnabout.

Normally it's the Wicked Witch demanding someone's surrender...

[Grampa Dave]

HILLARY RODHAM NIXON

[lapsus calami]

 

 

A pile of wrecked parts in a cardboard box, if they get anything at all.

 

 

[Eva]

I read earlier today that the Justice Dept was blocking all further requests for Hillary’s email.

[Gator113]

Stop with these nonsense requests and go with DEMANDS, using the full force of law. Back in the day, I could have obtained a signed search warrant with far fewer facts.

I like Trey Gowdy and I don’t envy his workload, but damn, I am starting to wonder about him.

[upchuck]

This is gonna be like pulling teeth.

Prediction: the server was gone over with a fine tooth comb weeks ago and all incriminating evidence was deleted. The impartial third party is gonna find a server clean as the driven snow, assuming it gets turned over.

[Uncle Miltie]

And the backups. ALL OF THEM.

[potlatch]

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Somebody keep a sharp eye on Hillary just in case she goes to Best Buy or similar store and buys a new server unit.

Wouldn’t put it past her to have a secret back-up server that only a few people know about.

[444Flyer]

I don't know which is more interesting, Hillary's Email-Kari or Monica Lewinsky's no shame tour.
