All of the other names above maintained both a private and a government-issued email address. That alone doesn’t make her guilty. But it does make her unique

1 versus 2: a telling difference, highly significant.

We don't know enough about them without an investigation.

Shit! That's exactly what I've been saying. Had she just maintained a separation between personal and State email accounts/servers then she either wouldn't have had to delete personal emails.... OR, alternatively, the intention to unlawfully delete State property would be clear

I think it proves there was no mal-intent on the server. Deleting an email is of no real use, because the gov has the sender's copy at least. Plus, if there were two systems, then it would provide a clear of the record channel as long as both parties were on private emails. If i were working out a system to hide certain info, that is what I'd do. Plus, bleach bit is not some super secret tool of criminals. Using software like that on deleted drives is standard practice at universities. I'd imagine it is also standard practice at corporations and gov as well. It's funny how the Republicans mis-explain what bleach bit is to mislead a few voters.

Maybe Hillary thought that the C stood for Crooked, Corrupt, or Crippled?

Is Rove the Presidential nominee right now and did he have a personal foundation he was soliciting donations for while under employment by the government?

Were HALF, HALF his meetings with non-government officials composed of his Foundation's donors when he held a major Cabinet Position?

Did he have cankles and wear pantsuits? Durr.....

If wager a bet that more than half were people who gave money to some campaign or superpac rove was associated with.

I use similar software on any drive I'm selling or disposing of. The way OS's cache content, any document may well exist in 20 places on your drive, and "deleted" files often aren't. It's smart practice.

If you've ever seen an ASCII dump of hard-disk, it's sobering. I was looking for a deleted file: I found it, dozens of times.

I cannot hop into her brain and know for sure, but I know if I were scrambling to destroy all traces of something, it would only be because I have something worth hiding.

Could be.

It could also be that for the past 25 years, the GOP has gone through her garbage, scrutinized lists of who drank coffee or stayed in the Lincoln Bedroom at the White House, investigated a colleague's suicide 3 times over, examined billing records of a law firm she worked at BEFORE she became first lady, and held 140 hours of testimony on the White House Christmas Card list. (I am leaving out a number of other investigations of Hillary during that time.)

And when the records show no wrongdoing - Huma gets request for favor; favor not granted - the conclusion from the GOP and the press is "this raises troubling questions, casting a shadow over the Clinton campaign."

There is no incentive to keep records. Powell acknowledges as much, and he's a Republican.

Meanwhile, Bush used an Enron jet for campaign travel, and that was no problem.

It's strange: Bill Clinton "lacked the character to enter the White House" (an interesting contention, when you observe its other inhabitants); Gore was an incredible liar and shifty; Kerry faked his Vietnam war wounds; Obama wasn't even born here, and is too stupid, weak, authoritarian, communist and fascist (all at the same time!) to be President. Plus, although the entire GOP refused to work with him starting on inauguration day, he is "divisive."

Now Hillary is profoundly, unprecedentedly corrupt.

Quite a coincidence, how the Dems always pick the very worst members of society.

Rove wasn't Secretary of State.
