ABC News: “Highly Likely” There’s A Backup Server With Hillary Clinton's Emails




Report from "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" -- The company who set up the server apparently says it is highly likely that a full back-up of the server was made, and it is cooperating with the investigation. Also, brief discussion on how Obama would have to walk a fine line of neutrality if Biden enters the race, pitting his former Secretary of State against his current Vice President.

I would expect her campaign to be celebrating this new development openly.

I never really gave a shit about it anyway, except that she doesn't seem to want to address it head on. This would bring it to a head and put it behind her

I can't imagine there not being one since no one wants to accidentally lose all their data.

The FBI will know this when they examine the server.

I don't know of a single business that doesn't back up their data every night.

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.


At this point:

90% of the emails were already on the .gov computers.
Printed copies were delivered to the State Dept.
Thumb drives with another backup copy was delivered from the lawyers.
Backups were known to have been created by Google when she was using the email server.
Actually, McAffee also reported securing (and likely making a copy).

Hillary has said over and over they should release the emails. Haha...the only personal emails missing are sexting from Trey Gowdy to the Select Committee!

It may not matter to you and you might not think it is a big deal but you are only one vote.
And already she has high unfavorable rateings...do you think this will make that better?

And should it come out that there were classified emails she will crash and burn...thus Biden considering a run...he is the backup.

but I really hopes theres nothing incriminating found ..

it makes government look more corrupt than it is (and it always seems incredibly corrupt to most people) .. it just adds to the distrust of Politian's.. our party doesn't need that kind of heat.
