“‘According to the agreement reached with the attorneys who handed over their laptops, the laptops were to be destroyed per the agreement after the testimony was given –the interviews were given – – by the attorneys. The bureau and the department agreed to that,’ DiGenova said. ‘However the laptops contrary to published reports were not destroyed and the reason is the agents who are tasked with destroying them refused to do so. And by the way the laptops are at the FBI for inspection by Congress or federal courts.’

DiGenova said the laptops have already been subpoenaed and the FBI is waiting for Congress to ask for them."

Also, when doing forensics on computers, you first make a copy to work on. You do not damage the originals. So, if the original is destroyed, the office still has the other copy that they did the searches and investigation on.... :)

SSgt GG-15 RET Jim Lint, if normal procedures are followed; in this case that is open to question. Everyone involved was granted immunity, no Grand Jury was formed to issue subpoenas to seize evidence so the FBI had to bargain for the cooperation of those under investigation, and Hillary (at least) was interviewed without being places under oath and no transcript was kept.

So the agreement to do only a limited search of the hard drives and then to destroy them afterwards looks more like a cover-up than a real investigation.

The conclusion that highly classified documents had been unlawfully removed from secure locations and places on unauthorized and unsecured drives is all that was necessary for a conviction - the lack of "criminal intent" is not an element in any of the crimes charged.

This looks more like a political whitewash than a real investigation, IMHO.

Actually I am proud of our bretheran at the FBI who refused to violate their oaths by destroying evidence in a criminal investigation.

CPT Alan Bentson, it is the same as refusing illegal orders in the military, IMHO.
