Yeah, I just got a chance to read the letter and I can just feel the smugness wafting off of it. Have to hand it to the Hilldawg, wiping the whole server after furnishing all of your emails to the State Department is very clever, but in the right context just screams "SCUMBAG".Her lawyer's letter to the committee is pretty much a "go piss up a rope". Holder (contempt) and Lerner (delete) have taught her well. I foresee the first husband and wife presidents who have both been impeached (she will no doubt be convicted of high crimes and misdemeanors when she occupies the oval office)!
As far as legal ramifications go, can they really hit her on anything? The subpoena they issued was somewhat broad, only requesting emails from a specified time period relating to the Benghazi incident and Libya in general. If the commission accepts the defense's argument that the emails already furnished to the State Department are enough to satisfy the subpoena, and they don't find anything within those emails, what else can they do? I see that the commission already requested that Hillary turn the server over to a neutral third party, but it looks like they won't do that. Do they grounds to subpoena the entire server? That would the smart thing to do, as forensic examiners could see if the servers deletions match up with Hillary's previous statements. But it also begs the question: When did Hillary wipe the server? Trey Gowdy indicated that it was sometime after October of last year, but that allows for a lot of leeway. If it turns out that she wiped the server AFTER the issuance of the subpoena, she'll go down hard. Though I imagine that will be difficult to prove without physical access to the server, so we're back at square one.
It's times like these that I wish we had a lawyer on the board who could answer some of these broader legal questions.
