Hillary Clinton’s lawyers confirmed what many have suspected since her remarks at a U.N. press conference earlier this month: She has wiped her server clean of any e-mails that she didn’t turn over to the State Department.
In so doing, Mrs. Clinton has given her critics more reason to suspect that she is up to no good and yet further reason that Mrs. Clinton should keep those lawyers on speed dial.
In the ongoing saga of Hillary Clinton’s exclusive use of a private server at her Chappaqua, N.Y., home, the latest bomb was thrown by her lawyer, David Kendall (of Bill Clinton impeachment fame).
Late last week, Mr. Kendall wrote a lengthy letter to the Benghazi Select Committee to respond to Chairman Trey Gowdy’s demand that she turn over her server for inspection and analysis by a “neutral detached and independent third-party.” Mr. Kendall flatly refused the demand, suggesting that the committee lacked the authority to request it. But for good measure, Kendall explained that review of the server would be fruitless.
After her personal lawyers reviewed the e-mails to determine which records Mrs. Clinton should return to the State Department, she “chose not to keep her non-record personal e-mails and asked that her account (which was no longer in active use) be set to retain only the most recent 60 days of e-mail.”
To “avoid prolonging a discussion that would be academic,” Mr. Kendall adds, “no e-mails from hrd22@clintonemail.com /* */ for the time period January 21, 2009, through February 1, 2013, reside on the server or on any back-up systems associated with the server.” Thus, he concludes, “there are no hrd22@clintonemail.com /* */ e-mails from Secretary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State on the server for any review, even if such review were appropriate or legally authorized.”

Where is that pic I have of a bear in the woods?
Is the Pope Catholic....er....disregard this part.
Does a bear take bodacious Obamas in the woods?
When one is destroying evidence, they do not become the arbitrator of what is relevant, at least, as far as most all of the public goes.
Of course this criminal reprobate did. What’s new? Nothing out of character. However, if no one has the integrity to hold her accountable for her crimes, so what? What difference does it make?
Not if you take the lying bitch's word!
...which is ALL anyone has now.
ZERO OVERSIGHT !!!
We’ll never know, will we?
Did the former secretary of state delete pertinent e-mails while subject to congressional investigation?
Of course she did-she’s a criminal.
does a BEAR s**t in the woods....
If the people will still vote for Hillary after all the stuff out there about how she handles her job and responsibilities
oversight and ethics, well, what difference does it make at this time anyway?
,
Yes.
If she had even deleted her ‘Grandma Hillary’s best Chocolate Chip Cookie’ recipe from her sever, she would have committed a felony.
Every successful criminal understands the importance of covering up evidence. Hillary is a very accomplished criminal. She is trash. Drag a dollar bill in front of her, and she will steal it, and then destroy all evidence of her taking it.
Hillary’s associates are also trash. If we put trash into power, trash is what we will get, and what this country will become.
Subpoena the emails from her recipients. They’ll have all the previous messages. Compare them to what she released.
Yeah..., where is the "Bear xxxxxx in the woods pictorial??? Obviously a VERY rhetorical question!
Perhaps Donald Trump will offer a $100,000 reward for all emails from Hillary’s private server.
That is just extra practice to be President of the U.S. She is a low down weasle so she should qualify with top marks.
THE NYT REPORTED 3/27/15: Clinton’s review (and erasing?) of her emails did not occur when she was secretary of state ......or even shortly after she left office.
Last October, nearly two years after she left office, the State Department sent her a letter requesting all government records, like emails, she may have possessed. In response, she provided the State Department in December with about 30,000 printed emails that she said were government records. She has said that an additional 30,000 emails were personal.
It appears Clinton still has copies of the emails she deemed public records. Attached to Mr. Kendall’s letter was one sent to him by the State Department this week.
A letter from the under secretary of state for management, Patrick F. Kennedy, said that the department understood that she wanted to keep copies of those documents. Mr. Kennedy said that the agency had consulted with the National Archives, and that allowing her “access to the documents is in the public interest as it will promote informed discussion” as she responds to congressional and other inquiries.
========================================
ADDENDUM---The State Dept may also be facing charges of misleading a court WRT the court's request for documents...and for tampering w/ evidence.
