I'm about 3/4 through Sharyl's book Stonwalled. Excellent, highly recommended!

There must have been "very, very bad or embarrassing" things on Hillary Clinton's personal email server that was wiped clean – including information on the deadly 2012 attack on the U.S. outpost in Benghazi, Libya, says former CBC News investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson.
In an interview on "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV on Monday, Attkisson said it was just "common sense" that the deleted data was likely worse than the firestorm created by its deletion.
"In my experience, there must've been some very, very bad or embarrassing things on there, because it appears as if she'd rather take the heat for the actions erasing the server at a time when she knew it was being sought by Congress and under Freedom of Information Act request, and probably lawsuits … than turn over what was really in them," she said.
"To me, this all points to Benghazi," Attkisson added. "There are things she didn't want to turn over and did not turn over...."

No sh@t!
I think the speculation and intrigue about “what is on” the server is a red herring. _That_ there was a server in the first place, that it was clearly set up for the purpose of avoiding use of appropriate government information systems is the scandal and it is incontrovertible.
Whatever business ocurred on the server, even if it is recovered or revealed is just additional noise, she never intended to serve in that office in a trustworthy and verifiable manner like other citizens would. That is the story.
0bama will come to her defense
in order to save his own a** once she informs him there is evidence that will sink him on that server
It’s a very serious felony.
You or I do this and we go to prison.
IT people do not understand physics. Have they every been trained on the theory of operation for a magnetic disk drive ? Nope. When the entire IT field was formed, they no longer taught theory of operations because everything was just repaired to the card or assembly level. That is their level of understanding.
Subpoena the NSA. This is a now a criminal investigation. Classified materials/methods can maintain their secrecy, but the NSA has ALL the emails to/from the clintonemail.com domain.

I disagree. All those emails are on at least one other server, in the NSA.
The emails are NOT gone.
“I think the speculation and intrigue about “what is on” the server is a red herring.”
With the Clintons if she’s telling you about this server there is a second or third she isn’t telling you about.
What I would demand is the Secret Service logs of whom entered the Clinton data center. Identify the IT guys and have them testify under oath about the server and who did what to it and when. Squeeze the small fish to capture the whale
“[T]oo often, in my view, the media waits for the daily news stories to be handed to them,” she said. “They’re not often doing a lot of their own independent digging. They’re waiting for the cues, they’re waiting to be told what the stories are day-to-day.”
That is because they wait to hear what the four or five men who control the networks want them to report. These men have effectively killed journalism; we have no journalists.
Bravo, Bravo, Bravo

"To me, this all points to Benghazi," Attkisson added.
She's exactly correct.

Actually that's not true. Even after hundreds of writes - some information will be retained. That's because of precision issues with head position - thus write area has to be larger than the read area to insure subsequent reads encounter the write. So there's always a little trace of some previous writes available in areas adjacent to the read track. Also remember that data written to a disk includes error correcting codes - some information will be recoverable. There are services that specialize in this recovery - usually they only fail when the data was not written in the first place. In fact the randomized overwrites may make it easier to detect the non-randomized information supposedly covered up - the supposedly hidden data will have less entropy than the overwrite.
In the worst case you may need to have the disk inspected by an electron microscope. This also means shredding the disk platters is not sure - once the information in the tiny little bits is recovered then it may be processed on line until some sense emerges.
Only heating magnetic media above the Curie temperature or subjecting it to extremely strong randomized magnetic fields is good enough assurance of data destruction. A charcoal grill will do the trick pretty cheaply. Just don't try to cook on it afterwards, some the stuff they put on the disk platters is not suitable as a condiment.
Except for the part about condiments, I'm speaking from personal experience of paying for past recoveries and ensuring complete destruction of sensitive information. I've seen all these recovery technologies successfully demonstrated. If the platters are still intact it's pretty straightforward and completely automated; I've seen the electron microscopy trick demonstrated and once the data from the shreds is scanned in although it may look NP-hard the physics of the media allow for shortcuts that make it doable in predictable time. Only caveat is I have not seen it demonstrated with shingled recording - but that's fairly new.
Sharyl is a personal hero of mine and another of my Role Models.
I would recommend any and all reading by her!
She is the best!
” Gowdy wants Hillary to testify by May 1.”
LOL....” I can’t recall” times 400. Just like before.
That and also her Foundation.
I couldn’t agree more with Attkisson about there being some really bad stuff in Hillary’s emails.
In my view it’s info that could get her or others, probably both indicted and prosecuted.
