When Hillary’s email scandal first broke, the Democrat frontrunner for president explained that roughly half of the 60,000 emails that had been housed on her private server were screened by her and deleted as they contained personal information such as “planning for Chelsea’s wedding, yoga routines and condolence messages.” Her staff then turned over paper copies of the remaining work-related emails to the State Department for processing and archiving, with some 8000 emails posted for public consumption. But a problem emerged in March when the State Department determined that dozens of the e-mails contained classified information.
It is this discovery, as well as questions about how and why these classified emails were housed on a private server, that prompted FBI the launch an inquiry into what the “personal” emails may have contained.
Today, as Bloomberg reports, the FBI has recovered the personal and work-related e-mails from the private computer server used by Hillary Clinton during her time as secretary of state, and which had allegedly been wiped clea. The FBI obtained Clinton’s server from the Colorado-based company managing it.
