Why did the 30 Benghazi emails FBI discovered escape destruction?
By Thomas Lifson
Everyone is wondering what’s in the 30 previously unknown emails related to
Benghazi the FBI managed to discover on Hillary’s server and turned over
to the State Department for potential redaction. But the manner by which
they escaped destruction may tell us a lot, no matter how much redaction
takes place.
The very fact that the emails were recoverable has got Hillary and her team
of lawyers in a lot of trouble. Ed Morrissey of Hot Air explains:
All along, Hillary and her team insisted that they had nothing
responsive to investigators and those filing FOIA demands, and that the
entire Benghazi probe consisted of rehashed questions already answered.
The new admission from State raises even more questions about the e-mail
scandal. The claim from Hillary and her team that the lawyers checked all
of her e-mail individually to determine whether they related to official
business has long since been debunked. However, one would have expected
Hillary and her team to specifically look for materials responsive to
Congressional investigations in progress, especially on Benghazi and Libya,
even if they were segregating other material by keyword search. Given that
the State Department repeatedly argued in court that no such records existed
until Hillary’s private e-mail system became public knowledge, the
judicial branch may hold State and Hillary to those expectations.
Hillary misrepresented to Congress the thoroughness of the search process.
Let’s use that word instead of “lied,” because it leaves open the door of
scapegoating the lawyers. Bad things often happen to people who work with
the Clintons when they are no longer useful.
So how on Earth did those emails escape the highly touted ability of
BleachBit to make data inaccessible to God Himself? Presuming for the sake
of discussion that BleachBit really works, that leaves two possibilities.
Keep in mind that the 30 emails were found in a batch of 14,900 emails the
FBI recovered through various methods.
The FBI recovered the emails through its thorough search of the records
of every recipient of an email from the secret email account.
Somehow, an error was made, and the 14,900 emails were not deleted with
BleachBit.
If number two is true, that was a highly incompetent effort at sanitizing.
Honestly, it seems unlikely. So we are likely facing 30 emails that were
sent to computers and accounts the FBI gained access to.
If the emails were sent to official government accounts, they are probably
pretty innocuous. Hillary had to have realized that anything sent to those
accounts was going to be subject to discovery. The very purpose of her
email server was to evade discovery, so she knew that .gov accounts are
discoverable.
The reason these emails were deleted from the records she handed over
probably is that they included a keyword like Benghazi. Instead of being
marked to hand over, they were marked for destruction, even if the contents
were comparatively innocuous. Non-incriminatory emails should have been
handed over but weren’t because the destruction was too inclusive.
But if some of these emails were sent to confidantes like Sidney Blumenthal
and recovered via their failure to BleachBit everything, then Katy bar the
door. Assuming they are not completely redacted by the State Department.
