Anything else we want to turn into partisan talking points?

But just, what if she deleted 22,000,000 Emails from a server owned by the DNC. How the **** would fly.

Funny thing, the Bush administration deleted 22,000,000 Emails from a server owned by the RNC. But hey! No problem!

And how many of them were deleted prior to sending a copy to the Library of Congress for recordkeeping?

And how many of those emails were classified on an offsite server that was hacked by at least 5 foreign entities?

Mass purging of black Democrats from voter rolls and African Americans’ low early voting turnout raises concerns for Hillary Clinton supporters in swing states

“I want you think about a woman named named Grace Bell Hardison,” Obama said.

Hardison was a 100-year-old black woman who had lived in the same town in North Carolina her entire life. Last month, her voter registration was challenged in her home of Beaufort County in what officials called an effort to “clear up” the voting rolls. Of the list of 138 purged voters that included Hardison, 92 were black and registered Democrats.

“That didn’t happen by accident,” Obama said. “There was a time when systematically denying black folks the right to vote was considered normal as well.”

Trump, he noted, was calling on supporters to monitor “certain areas” at the polls.

“They’re just out in public saying we’re going to try and suppress the African American vote on election day, or the youth vote on election day.”

This was a seeming reference to a Bloomberg story from last week in which an unnamed Trump official was quoted as saying: “We have three major voter suppression operations under way,” aimed at idealistic white liberals, young women and African Americans.

The critical battleground of North Carolina is in many ways the ground zero of concerns over access to the ballot among black voters.

Republicans in the state have purged thousands of voters from the rolls, the majority of whom are black Democrats. The NAACP filed a lawsuit this week, stating that the practice of purging voter rolls up to 95 days before an election was a violation of federal law. The US justice department also issued a sharp warning to the election boards in the relevant counties of Beaufort, Moore and Cumberland.

Penda Hair, an attorney representing the the North Carolina NAACP, said the counties in question were allowing “individual private vigilante residents” to challenge voters based on mailings that were unregulated by the state. The private citizens were sending mailings that would come back as undeliverable, which they would then use to challenge the residence of the voters they wanted the county to purge from the rolls.

To those in North Carolina, the pattern of purging voter rolls is reminiscent of efforts to curtail the black vote through strict voter ID laws struck down by a federal court earlier this year for targeting African Americans “with almost surgical precision”. The supreme court denied a request in August to reinstate the law.

All of them.

While some have been supposedly recovered none of them have been released to the public due to lack of funding. They need to be read through before released to record keeping.

1. They were on an RNC private server. As far as I can see no investigation on whether that server was hacked or not.

2. Your assertion it was hacked comes from unconfirmed FBI sources that there was a "99% chance" and that documents were taken. It may be true, it may not. At this point so many anonymous leaks are coming out of the FBI that every single one of them should be treated with suspicion. Last Friday Comey sent an incredibly vague email to Congress, hadn't even read the emails -unless they did before getting a warrant-, and now we know countless "facts" about an ongoing investigation.

Does that mean China is winning the arms race then?

twofour of the past six years!

And, even by your own source, almost all (20+ million of the 22 million) were recovered. Also, by your own source, it wasn't the president who did this, it was a few staffers (up to 50, according to your own source) that did it, and didn't even try to destroy the records in the way Clinton and her cronies did.

There's a difference between deleting it from the servers and using BleachBit/acid washing boards/physically destroying devices.

To put it more accurately, a large number (it's unclear exactly how many) of the messages were recovered from backup storage systems by technicians as a result of a deal struck between the federal government and two nonprofit groups that sued for release of the e-mails via the Freedom of Information Act.

The real issue with the Clinton staff’s practice of destroying her Blackberrys is that question of thoroughness. The same staffer who bought and set up Clinton’s server told the FBI that of the 13 BlackBerry smartphones Clinton used while at the State Department, there were “two instances where he destroyed Clinton’s old mobile devices by breaking them in half or hitting them with a hammer,” according to the FBI’s report. In a situation like Clinton’s, there’s no way to know whether breaking a device in half or wailing on it with a Ball-Peen actually destroyed the memory chip holding the phone’s data. “Destruction doesn’t always mean destroyed,” Brown says.

On the question of transparency rather than security, none of this should let Clinton off the hook entirely. It’s still not clear whether her efforts to eliminate her data were motivated by the desire to conceal information as her critics imply or dedication to information security—or a bit of both.

It's most likely true. True enough that nobody but Fox News reports it, and we all know how much the left media wishes a Clinton Presidency. I mean, it's obvious she is a corrupt criminal, they are probably looking at her for more revenue because not only will she do a shitty job as president, but there's lots of money to be made with sensational headlines about corrupt presidents.
