Clinton Campaign Made Payments to Hard Drive and Document Destruction Company
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | 5/3/2016 | Joe Schoffstall

Posted on 05/03/2016 1:46:36 PM PDT by BubbaBasher

The Hillary Clinton campaign made multiple payments to a company that specializes in hard drive and document destruction, campaign finance records show.

The payments, which were recorded in February and March of 2016, went to the Nevada-based American Document Destruction, Inc., which claims expertise in destroying hard drives or "anything else that a hard drive can come from."

"Our hard drive destruction procedures take place either at your site or at our secure facility in Sparks, NV," the company’s website states. “This decision is yours to decide based on cost and convenience to you. In either situation, the hard drive will be destroyed by a shredding."

"We have a dedicated machine for hard drive destruction,” the website continues. “We will also record the serial numbers of all drives to be destroyed to be kept in our records. A copy of this log can be provided to you as well."

The routine services section of the site says that the company operates in 26 areas in Nevada and California, including Reno, Virginia City, Sparks, Tahoe City, and Carson City.

"Our equipment is powerful. Whether you require ON SITE or OFF SITE service, performed at our Sparks facility, large volumes can be quickly destroyed regardless of staples, clips or fasteners,” the site says. “Office paper, folders, binders and computer media can be destroyed in just minutes. As a result, we pass the savings on to you! A new service we also offer is computer hard drive destruction, either ON-SITE or OFF-SITE."

"ADDNV, Inc. ensures that even small amounts are economical to have destroyed. ADDNV, Inc. encourages our clients to visit the Sparks facility to observe the shredding of your documents. The added bonus with ADDNV, Inc. is that we offer personal service whenever you need it. We can be reached locally and our customers are more than just account numbers in a large franchise."

Transactions from Hillary for America to American Document Destruction, Inc. were made to the Sparks, Nevada location.

The first payment from the campaign to the destruction company came on Feb. 3 in the amount of $43, Federal Election Commission filings shows.

Two additional payments of $43 and $58 were made on Feb. 21. A fourth payment of $43 was made on March 26, bringing the amount paid to the destruction company to $187.

The Washington Free Beacon contacted American Document Destruction, Inc. to inquire about its rates.

An employee for the company said that it charges $10 per hard drive and $5 per cubic foot of paper. The Clinton campaign could have destroyed 14 hard drives or shredded 37.4 cubic feet of paper at those rates.

The Clinton campaign did not return a request for comment about what documents it paid to have destroyed.

>>FBI is giving Hillary time to cover her tracks.<<

I don’t believe it for a moment. I think they’ve got her.

I'm sure there's no way that the data gets read, copied, and sold to the highest bidder before the hard drives are shredded.

If I were the FBI I would be looking at who else was paying this shredder.

The first step in replacing Hillary on the ticket. No, not for crazy Bernie, but for either Joe or Fauxcahauntas. Now that Bernie is out of the way and Trump has it sealed up, the chess board will be shaken for a fresh start. Especially after seeing trump catch hill in the polls.

Obstruction of justice?

It seems that's what the government is doing.

Judge Napolitano on FOX has been stellar in hammering all this fiasco of Hellary’s computers and e-mail shenanigans.

Have been reading alot about the Vince Foster investigation. Convinced that the FBI was in on the coverup. They need to make good on this scandal otherwise the corruption in DC will be cemented in fraudulent legacy of sewage stank.

Obstruction of justice?

Just got home, saw this and that was my first thought. Something every day now with the email/server/Clinton Foundation/Clinton Global Initiative crime syndicate.

If Comey doesn't recommend indictment. . .

Didn't Platte River Networks outsource data to some company that put everything in the cloud? If so, I bet the FBI has it, even if she tried to destroy all the hard drives. . or wipe them with a cloth. Just ask Guccifer, he put lots of data in the cloud. Let's hope they are getting lots of information from him and his cloud data.

I was thinking on the way home how BIG this whole thing is. I mean, I don't even think the country has digested how Big this is, the email/server thing, obstruction of justice, 16 Federal laws broken + the whole Clinton Foundation/Clinton Global Initiative Crime syndicate, quid pro quo, money laundering, shakedown scam. . And the Beltway doesn't even blink. . I keep repeating to myself, "This is so BIG in lots of ways, it's almost difficult to comprehend." . . and she's running for President!! (Banging head against the wall. . Thanks for listening. Saved me from screaming.)

Another thought, . Is she running so hard for President because at some level she knows winning the Presidency is the only way she avoids an orange jump suit? AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

And Martha Stewart would not have gone to jail if she hadn’t lied to a federal investigator.

I would think this has to do with destroying other types of files, not the files under subpoena but files created afterwards, and unrelated to the investigation (of course it is possible they are slipping some things through). The DNC and her campaign are private organizations and are entitled to destroy their own documents, redundant copies of information (such as in order prevent too many copies of campaign information, fundraising data, opposition research, private communications etc from floating around).

I hate the fact that these politicians play both sides of the fence though. They are private organizations, not public. They are entitled to Constitutional protections - many of which have been greatly eroded by invasive and abusive laws and regulations. But as they are private, they should not be receiving 1 penny in public funds. Taxpayers should not be paying for primaries or caucuses or campaigns. But we do. They behave like private citizens but expect to be treated like public institutions. It is just one more on a long list of things this country needs to fix.

Since they are receiving public funds, the information should never be totally destroyed and should be available under FOIA. I am not sure what the law states but that is the way it should be. Private = protected. Public = open to all. IMO of course.

Perhaps yes, perhaps no.

It all depends on what was destroyed. I won’t go into that in detail now, because that is still a very open and unknown issue, and we just don’t know.

Were they subpenaed documents? Who knows now.. and the Plaintiffs are entitled to inguire, in depth.

The significant problem this creates for Hillary and the DNC, is that all the various Plaintiffs will now get a “hunting license” to inquire as to exactly was destroyed, take depos regarding that, and of course that will open a few more doors, yada. yada. yada.

This will keep discovery open for at least another 6 months, and in the media as well.

As Rumpole might say, “Questions will be asked, and the answers will naturally lead to more questions, My Lord...”

Either Hillary is corrupt as any person in American history or she’s as dumb as a brick. Democrats have to choose which is the logical choice.
