The e-mails were turned over on paper printed off. Less than half of them.
I found a reference that the hardware that stored the backups was turned over. Do you have a link showing the server itself was turned over?
See, the problem here is that you are
intentionally being uninformed and stupid.
Investigators determined that the deletion method prevented data recovery...by inspecting paper print outs of the emails?! That doesn't make the slightest bit of sense.
Normally I would provide some links to help support my point. It took me all of 30 seconds to find four. But in this case I'm not even going to bother. First of all, your own claims
require that the FBI inspected the server. Second, this is such a base piece of information. This was one of the biggest ******* news stories of the god damn decade and you managed to be ignorant of the fundamentals?
Back when the story was unfolding all the other Donald sycophants were up in arms claiming that Clinton intentionally deleted the server contents immediately before handing it over, to destroy evidence. Everyone was talking about Bleachbit. Nobody could seem to get it through their head that deleting all the contents would have been the logical thing to do before the investigation ever began.
That was the argument back then. I'm sure you were saying the same damn thing. But magically, you have no memory of that, because Donald's semen down your hatch is the real Bleachbit.
This can only mean one thing. You are
intentionally ignorant of the fundamentals. You never wanted to know the facts, and you
still don't want to know the facts. You will say and believe anything that pushes Donald's cock further down your throat.
And by the way, they didn't have access to "hardware that stored the backups." Along with the server, Clinton's team turned over thumb drives.
That was where the 30,000 emails were
found.
