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.”

Why now is the story changing???
It seems to me this “tech” company is trying to cover Hillary’s obvious felony of obstruction of justice and tampering with evidence.
The Establishment is going to try ANYTHING in order to reverse this because they know Hillary can’t run for President admitting this.
The Establishment knows Biden can’t win, and now throwing a life vest for Hillary.
To me this stinks to high heaven, and now they are going to say Hillary deleted nothing, and there is no crime here at all.
It’s a 100% desperate hail Mary pass by the Establishment to save Hillary’s sinking ship.
Just know the sudden change in the story..... It’s a lie to save Hillary.
But PRN was a politically connected, tiny company from CO that pitched its ability to totally and completely wipe servers as a key part of its offerings that was brought all the way to Chappaqua for some of its doings.
They likely were neither completely in the know, nor completely innocent.
Didn’t they get the WIPED server?? There would be TWO servers, at least.
In the late Sixties and early Seventies commando raids were in the news. When the US Special Forces made the newspapers the action was called a commando raid. It was also well known that our soldiers were notoriously susceptible to crotch rot in the humid Southeast Asian climate.
