Karl Rove had them deleted when Congress demanded they be turned over. News articles said there were many thousands that were illegally deleted. Nothing happened to Rove or Republicans. In contrast, Hillary was found to have three emails on her server, none with top-secret classification, and she was excoriated by the FBI and the media. Trump administration officials also used private servers. Nothing was done about it. The FBI and the DOJ has long favored Republicans. I’m not sure that has changed.
