The web of investigations into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server that held classified information and her inner circle’s dealings is being hampered by revelations that their computer devices have been wiped clean or destroyed — despite the Democratic presidential candidate claiming earlier this week she doesn’t know “how it works digitally at all.”
Clinton’s lawyer David Kendall recently told a Senate committee that emails and all other data stored on her computer server were erased before the device was turned over to federal authorities.
In a letter sent last week to Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Kendall said the server was transferred to the FBI on Aug. 12 by Platte River Networks, a Denver firm hired by Clinton to oversee the device.
Yet at a press conference Tuesday, Clinton declined to say whether the server was erased.
Asked repeatedly by Fox News whether it was wiped, she joked: “What, like with a cloth or something? I don’t know how it works digitally at all.”
The FBI is apparently trying to recover the contents. An intelligence source familiar with the review told Fox News that investigators are confident they may be able to recover some of the deleted files.

This granny needs to be locked up for destruction of evidence.
What happened to the backup??????
If there’s nothing to hide, why bother “wiping it with a cloth”???? Yes, after Obama, she would definitely be the next best president of the USA!
