27. It's a fictional story...

Aug 2018

Hillary's government emails were largely captured when copies were sent to the .gov account. She had independent attorneys (with top secret clearance) sort through all emails and providing a copy of all "business-related" ones to the government. She actually had several backups of the server at different times, so nothing of consequence was "lost". Chances are that the backups still exist, but are not provided because her attorneys consider them privileged or not subject to FOIA. Regardless, some of the old servers were supposedly wiped or destroyed, while at least one was stored at a contractor's business.

Nothing is "missing", except some old personal emails (cake recipes, yoga schedules, etc.), that were examined at least once or twice by various lawyers. How far will this go in the future? Will all audio, video, email, texts, and records of politicians be public records? Who knows?

--------------------------------------

Think about it...could you produce emails from home 5 or 6 or 7 years ago? Here are some links I collected back when the topic was hot:

In November 2012, without explanation, Clinton's private email account was reconfigured to use Google's servers as a backup in case her own personal email server failed, according to Internet records. That is significant because Clinton publicly supported Google's accusations in June 2011 that China's government had tried to break into the Google mail accounts of senior U.S. government officials. It was one of the first instances of a major American corporation openly accusing a foreign government of hacking.
Then, in July 2013, five months after she resigned as secretary of state, Clinton's private email server was reconfigured again to use a Denver-based commercial email provider, MX Logic, which is now owned by McAfee Inc., a top Internet security company.

The White House possesses no archived e-mail messages for many of its component offices, including the Executive Office of the President and the Office of the Vice President, for hundreds of days between 2003 and 2005, according to the summary of an internal White House study that was disclosed yesterday by a congressional Democrat.
The 2005 study — whose credibility the White House attacked this week — identified 473 separate days in which no electronic messages were stored for one or more White House offices, said House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.).
