The company that managed Hillary Rodham Clinton’s private e-mail server said it has “no knowledge of the server being wiped,” the strongest indication to date that tens of thousands of e-mails that Clinton has said were deleted could be recovered.
Clinton and her advisers have said for months that she deleted her personal correspondence from her time as secretary of state, creating the impression that 31,000 e-mails were gone forever.
There is a distinction between e-mails being deleted and a server being wiped. If e-mails are deleted or moved from a server, they appear to no longer exist on the device. But experts say, depending on the condition of the server, underlying data can remain on the device and the e-mails can often be restored.
To make the information go away permanently, a server must be wiped — a process that includes overwriting the underlying data with gibberish, possibly several times.
That process, according to Platte River Networks, the Denver-based firm that has managed the system since 2013, apparently did not happen.
“Platte River has no knowledge of the server being wiped,” company spokesman Andy Boian told The Washington Post. “All the information we have is that the server wasn’t wiped.”
Clinton and her staff have avoided directly answering whether the server was ever wiped.
In a memorable exchange at a campaign event in Las Vegas last month, Clinton turned aside a question about whether the server had been wiped with a joke: “Like what, with a cloth?” she said, adding, “I don’t know how it works digitally at all.”
Campaign spokesman Brian Fallon gave a similar answer this month, telling CNN: “I don’t know what wiped means. Literally the e-mails were deleted off of the server, that’s true.”

Her minions got to them.
A headline that immediately makes you think it was wiped
The concept of “wiping” a server just isn’t that difficult to grasp. Either Hillary and her minions are complete idiots, or they are lying. I’m leaning toward lying, but both options are possible.
Who thought they would go on record for saying anything else?
“There is a distinction between e-mails being deleted and a server being wiped”
An absolutel world of a difference. Pressing the delete key makes it tough to find data on a hard drive if you’re not technical and don’t have the right tools. If you are technical and do have the right tools, deleted files can almost always be recovered.
Gotta do that low level format, Hillary.
Does seem to be them saying, “It wasn’t us!”
No knowledge of or no indication of?
There is a huge difference.
Of course it was wiped.
So much obfuscation it boggles the mind.

Bill: That's my girl.
As with everything else with this woman, she has already gotten away with it.
Washington Post needs to spend paragraphs to explain basic things to its’ oh so intelligent and sophisticated readership.
"No Indication that Clinton’s E-Mail Server Was ‘Wiped’" is NOT the same thing as “no knowledge of the server being wiped”
The server was substituted with another one. A computer expert called up Rush and explained how it is done. All the suspect emails were deleted and a new server was filled up.
I’m not sure if this still applies, but back in the days of DOS, IIRC, if you “deleted” a file, all that happened was that a “$” character replaced the first character in the file name. Replace that “$” with any alphabetical character and the file was “restored” and readable. (as long as that memory segment had not been over written while the file was in the “deleted” state)
DOS gurus out there correct me if I am wrong.
Deleted mail usually goes to a Trash file where it might stay for a given period of time. Even after being deleted, files are still there until they’re over-written. Servers are usually backed up at least daily as well.
Hmm. Gotta wonder if there are any “friendly” emails between Hillary and the Donald? Like Hillary thanking Donald for his donations to the Clinton Foundation/ Or Donald thanking Hillary for attending his wedding?
