Then you soak it in a 50-50 bleach and water solution for 10 hours. Then you put it through the rinse cycle, and then hang it out to dry on a sunny day. Make sure you use proper wooden clothespins to hang the e-mails; otherwise it won't work.

His campaign told us Trump didn’t literally mean that Clinton “acid washed” her emails. It said that he was using a play on words, referring to Clinton’s joke a year ago about “wiping” her server with a cloth.

Sorry, we don’t get the play on words, which was not clear in any of Trump’s remarks. Let’s look at the facts.

BleachBit debunks Trump’s claims on its FAQ page: “BleachBit is not ‘very expensive software.’ Actually, it is completely free of charge for everyone in all situations.” It also says, “BleachBit is neither a chemical nor a physical device. BleachBit is an anti-forensics software application.” .....
