Server scrubbed clean [View all]

I don't know how or why it was done, but it was done. Foolish decision. There was probably nothing on them that could have hurt more than deleting them.

That couldn't be the end of the matter because whom those emails went to may have them on their computers or servers. "If" there is anything controversial on them, there may be problems ahead.

The folks who received them and still have them will have to be treated with kid gloves. They can either demand bribes to keep the emails confidential, which is extortion, or out of a purer motive, may decide to release their copies of emails knowing they have negative information that could blow up the campaign.

We ain't heard the end of it. Before you know it, Dowdy will be offering rewards for information leading to....you finish.
